Meet my Cabbage Patch Kid!
Hello everybody, and welcome to my new blog! Here I'll post cute things that make me happy in life, like my Cabbage Patch Kid, Glenda Neena! I bought her from Amazon, and dolls like her are still available in brunette and blonde if you'd like to pick one up for yourself. Glenda cost me about $60, and she's worth it. Look at her cute little face, her yarn hair, her pink dress, and her little Mary Jane shoes. She's perfect! I used to have a Cabbage Patch Kid in the 90s when I was a little kid, but I didn't appreciate it then. Recently though I had a longing for a little Cabbage Patch version of me, and Glenda is it. I like to think if I were a doll, I would look just like her, with dark eyes, hair in pigtails, and wearing the same kind of shoes.
She's 16 inches (about 40 cm) tall, and smells like vanilla and baby powder. She came with adoption papers in English and French, and an oath as her parent to always love and take care of her. Yes, I filled out the paperwork and signed it. I love this about Cabbage Patch dolls. So far I've only been brave enough to have her sit outside on the porch while I'm in the yard, and have shown her to my mom and sister. Otherwise, I'm a little shy about carrying her around in public. I do love her though, and I don't regret getting her at all. In fact I ordered a couple outfits for her, one for cooler weather, and a swimsuit for a trip to the beach sometime this summer :)
Yesterday I met my sister's Cabbage Patch, a soft sculpture from 1985! I don't know everything about Cabbage Patch Kids yet but I'm learning. I wonder where hers was made, maybe I'll learn enough to figure it out. I'll post a picture of her here sometime! I also wonder if there's a Cabbage Patch Kid community here on Tumblr? I haven't even looked yet! If you like Cabbage Patch Kids too, leave a comment and maybe a pic of your doll!
