Doll News Summer 2014 - (Page 2)
From the Editor
A
s I write this, spring is slowly
fading into summer. The Texas
Bluebonnets have stepped aside
to allow the Queen Anne's Lace to take
over the roadsides. I have always been
inordinately fond of flowers, but I am
especially fond of wild flowers. Their
seemingly disorganized, haphazard way of
appearing wherever they please, appeals to me.
It was serendipity that I would come from a state where its official
flower sprung from a doll story. "The Legend of the Bluebonnet"
is familiar to many doll collectors: Texas was suffering an extreme
drought and the daughter of a Comanche chief took her most prized
possession, her doll with a headdress made of blue jay feathers, to
offer as a sacrifice. Placing her doll on a sacrificial fire, the little
girl fell asleep only to awaken to a sea of beautiful blue flowers - as
blue as the feathers in her doll's headdress. The drought ended and
each spring the little girl's selfless sacrifice is remembered when the
Bluebonnets appear across the state.
The cover of this issue of DOLL NEWS honors Shirley Temple.
Shirley played a part in Texas history when she was given the title of
Honorary Rangerette during Texas' Centennial Celebration in 1936.
She is skipping happily down a road bordered by Texas Bluebonnets.
Sincere appreciation goes to guest author, Tonya Bervaldi-Camaratta
for her article on the life and dolls of this beloved child star. Diana
Vining's accompanying paper doll captures the very essence of the
dimpled, curly topped actress.
Summer is a time for travel and Janet Gula takes us on a journey
through a gallery of beautiful images of royal children and their
cherished playthings. Sharon Zerkel invites us to visit Florida to
meet the colorful Seminole dolls. Ann Hays lures us on a sea-faring
odyssey, and Kate Reed shares her scrapbook from her exciting
excursion to Neustadt, Germany's doll festival. We will camp out
at UFDC headquarters as several volunteers toil to make our doll
museum a destination spot for all doll lovers. Ann Leis pays a call on
talented doll artist, Christine Shively.
Summer is a time for celebrations, too, and Virginia Walker marks
Skipper's fiftieth birthday with a touch of style. AnneLise Wilhelmsen
has designed just the right wardrobe for a well-dressed doll of the
1930s, and Gael Shults has spun a special story illustrated with her
delightfully drawn paper dolls. Nicki Burley enchants us with the
crepe paper fashions of the Dennison Manufacturing Company.
I hope to see you soon in San Antonio for our 65th Annual
Convention! We'll be sure to roll out the wild flowers for you.
