Searching the internet for another doll was not an easy
task. Most dolls for sale were not in my province or most of the ads were old and the doll sold long ago. I was having no luck. Everyday I went on Kijiji and scanned the doll
section. I even put up a want ad.
Then one day I got a hit.
The doll was in Grande Prairie ,
Alberta Grande Prairie ,
I asked my boss if I could get one of our drivers to bring the doll back for me
when he did a round trip. My boss told
me he was going there so he would bring her back himself. (a heartfelt thanks, Gordon!)
I wrote the woman with the ad and after about a week she
responded that the doll was still available.
She was $5.00. Within a week I
had my new doll in my hands (23 April 2013).
It was Gabby. I was so
elated! I brought her home and
introduced Wiccah to her new sister. I
named her Silver. Silver would represent
Spring and Summer and Wiccah would represent Fall and Winter. I figured I had this down pat. (grin)
Silver was in passable shape but her hair was straw-like and
her legs had issues. They were floppy
and she couldn't sit very well. She came
with a box, outfit and shoes.
Immediately I started making her clothes too. I decided I would make identical styled outfits
but different colors. And of course a
bed. They would share Wiccah’s current “house”.
The one thing I seemed to have difficulty with was calling
Silver by her name. I always called her
Summer. She was “Silver Summervale”, not
“Summer Summervale”. I couldn't seem to
keep Silver’s name straight for the life of me!
Was this a sign? (grin)
My decision to have all four dolls changed things quite a bit. When I finally had the fourth doll more than
a year later, I made the decision to change Silver’s name to Summer and change
their last name to Silvervale. I’m
getting a little ahead of myself but it now feels right and Summer is happy
with her name change! What a relief!
As always, let kindness and positive energy
fill your mind, body and soul.
Blessed Be, My Friends!
