One of the teachers in my old high school looks like a cabbage patch doll. I mean REALLY looks like one. I wish I had a pic of her to show you!

Hi! I love this doll collection! It just allows you to reminisce the “child” within you, full of fun and challenges and yet just lovin the memory of it! Thanks for posting and keep it coming! Have a nice day.

Do you know what I love? When we were kids, it seemed as if “all the other kids” were getting the real Cabbage Patch. But all the comments here make it obvious that so many people have the same memories of getting a homemade one. I think they were $80 or something, which back then was an extraordinary price for a doll. I was actually not into dolls, but my mother made one (in the end maybe two?) for my sister that she loved.

I love the story about your dad. The wonderful things parents do…

Catherine, more love for the homemaders! Woohoo!

Aimee, I have to admit, I’ve been thinking more and more about those Kids lately. I’m definitely going to ask my dad to dig them out. Regressing is fun!

Oh how cute! I love that you had a Patty doll. I totally remember the CPK craze, and how much my folks must have gone through to get me that first doll. I may have to take a photo of my dolls for my blog now that you have me thinking about them.

Ah Cabbage Patch Dolls. I too started out with a homemade doll, and eventually got two “real” ones. The WERE expensive!

Kristen, yeah, my dad isn’t so bad–I think I’ll keep him

Karina, I definitely went round about on that one, which is why I thought I’d finish off with the Corvette to masculine up the post a bit. I have to admit, I find the CPK *much* cuter now than I did as a kid. Guess they grow on you…hah! Grow…cabbage patch…ahem.
