Humm, our "obsessions" are quite similar. What is it about engraved stationery and a fabulous sideboard? I'm so with you!

Oh my gosh, I think I had that Dancerina!! Or am I getting it mixed up with a doll whose pony tail would grow? I'm so confused and my memory is horrible, but I wonder if they still make Dancerina!
