You have been an inspiration to me. Your doll quilts are the sweetest. This bed is very little, so I am afraid I won't be able to make such fine quilts as you. I guess I need to look for a large bed......... I have a beautiful wooden carved Swiss doll that is 10 1/2 inches tall. She is still naked, I think she needs a sweet nightgown and bed cap, as well as some clothing.I have also found a chip carved miniature blanket chest that just fits the end of the bed. I have painted it blue and am going to antique it. Give it a Swedish folk art look. Yes, it's fun to play with dolls!!

I've seen jacks sold today and they don't seem to be as good of quality as they were in the old days. We played on our linoleum floors.

I'm so glad you included the photos. I had forgotten a lot about the game. I don't know if you can buy jacks now or not. The kids nowadays probably would be bored with playing jacks. They are into computer games. Oh, well, I'm glad you posted this wonderful posting.Brenda Kay Ledfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077314514118637590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182624667490286266.post-86487885207685896282014-06-03T19:41:43.325-07:002014-06-03T19:41:43.325-07:00Oh goodness gracious, I had all but forgotten play...Oh goodness gracious, I had all but forgotten playing jacks.

You did a great job describing the games.<br />I love Jacks. I recall using paper wads when our Jacks would disappear or break over time.<br />I looked for Jacks for my Grandson a few years ago. I found only pretty plastic ones. They were okay, but the poor quality made it almost impossible to play with them. <br />Thanks for sharing sweet simple memories from youth. :)E.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18309134989383800946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182624667490286266.post-48149733302627564262014-06-01T19:38:05.217-07:002014-06-01T19:38:05.217-07:00I only played Jacks when I was visiting my cousin ...I only played Jacks when I was visiting my cousin who lived in the city.
