She's Still Smiling

For those who haven't met her, this is Emily, who belonged to my great aunt and is well over 100 years old. I own no yellow clothes, so she gets to be featured for today's word.

[Bep]

Beautiful!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Aww, looks like she has had a lot of love over the years. Good one for yellow. Love your quote, too.

[Anne ❀]

so nice to have Emily, lovely image and quote

[KV]

Wow... she is really old and showing some of her age too. Nice shot. Love your quote.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

That looks like a smashing doll, she just needs a few sticky plasters and she will be fine. FAV for Emily, get well soon.

[Kate]

She doesn’t look a day over 29!

[Mags]

Aww! There are doll hospitals just for this if you ever wanted to get her restored. =)

[JackieR]

Oh my she's been loved and lived! We used to have a doll's hospital, who if you wanted would repair her, but keep her looking old, but they've gone!!

[Susan Wakely]

Emily certainly looks as if she has a story to tell that has obviously amused her.

[Mave]

Try the Repair Shop. They can do wonders with a lovely doll like this.

[Boxplayer]

Amazing! Such an heirloom.

[Nina Ganci]

Not bad looking for 100 years old, She can tell some interesting stories.

[haskar]

All this damage makes Emily a great treasure. So sweet. Great quote.

[Judith Greenwood]

Very precious- a tiny bit scary but maybe that’s me and dolls!

[Carole Sandford]

She looks a little delicate bless her! We have a dolls hospital not too far away from us. My daughter inherited her grandmothers doll & we took her to the hospital to be be “ restrung”, her arms & legs were held in place inside her body with rubber bands which had perished. So this was all renewed. She also had her hands repainted where they had been chipped. Just wondered if there was anything near you that could repair her a little?

I feel sorry for Emily. She looks like she’s had a rough life. That being said how amazing that she is still in such good shape! It must be a treasure for you to have!

[Shirley B]

Bless her, poor dear. She has been well loved, and you still treasure her.

[Anja]

Precious treasure

[Esther Rosenberg]

A tough girl !

[Annie-Sue]

Emily is a bit worse for wear, but she's helpful and holds lovely memories :-)

[Peggy Sirk]

I hope I look as good at 100. ☺

[Brigette]

Fabulous that you still have her...

[Debra]

What stories she has to tell. So wonderful to have a treasure like that.

[Rick Schies]

She smiles because she has brought so much joy over the years

[Lou Ann]

She’s so sweet. What a lovely family treasure she is.

[Kerri Michaels]

kinda scary

[Bill]

Doesn't look to bad for a 100.

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

That works.

[Netkonnexion]

Seems to have had a hard life. What a great treasure though.

[Ingrid]

Poor Emily, her long life is showing, but it is great to know that she is still loved.

[Kathy A]

Poor Emily 😢

[borof]

Lovely quote, well suited with smiling old toy doll illustration.

How lovely for you to hold fond memories of your very treasured family piece.
