Me and Betsy McCall

Betsy McCall, vintage 8″ doll

When I was a child, I delighted in the gift of a Betsy McCall doll for my seventh birthday. For this joy that entered my life, I credit my dear mother. Betsy came in her short original chemise, possibly with a dress. I don’t recall, as I happily used pieces of fabric to wrap her in. She accompanied me on my many adventures, sailing the billowy sea with me in the little
