Cinderella


Flip over happy Cinderella and she becomes sad Cinderella.


Mood-Swing Cinderella is a handmade treasure from my Grandma Clayton. I kept a few dolls from childhood and this two-headed concoction is my favorite; I just can't help but adore her...and my Grandma Clayton.

Ida and Theo like Cinderella too but after letting them play with her for a minute or two the other day, I determined that Cinderella's going to stay on a shelf and brood alone for a few more years.

Happy, sad, sad, happy, it never gets old.

"Old" toys and dolls sometimes need to "sit it out" just for the sake of preservation.

Glad you liked/like her so much. My mom was excited to make her.

We had a doll that was so similar to that--except underneath I think it was an ugly old lady. I'm still not sure if she was supposed to be an ugly old lady, but she sure was. Unfortunately, I think ours got tossed somewhere along the way.

Love the doll, but mostly I hope Ida is better. Cute pictures of her.
