Last week, I bought the above in a spurt of ebay-bidding mania. Because I needed one of her shoes (side note: ebay gives me ulcers). A friend's grandmother's Madame Alexander doll was inadvertently left in a big bin of stuff she was giving us for the girls' room. Before I had a chance to return it, the doll had gotten, oh ... kicked around. And one of the shoes went missing. I didn't realize it was a vintage, multi-million-dollar collectible item. I didn't even know what "Madame Alexander" meant.
It was a big relief when the ebay package arrived last night, eerily disassembled. The shoe matched and fit perfectly. Briton put the ebay doll together and so now we have our own one-shoed "Madame Alexander" doll (which we are NOT starting a collection of). It fits the girls' room decor very nicely.
(I found out, too late, from the MA company that you can buy accessories only. A little FYI for you if you ever need a solitary shoe and don't want to buy a whole doll).

So it's worth millions of dollars? Aren't you gonna sell it and live independantly wealthy for the rest of your lives? Can I get in on that, hehe!
Okay I read it again and understood that the doll belongs to someone else, holy crap! I bet that lady was freaking out when her 'million dollar baby' was missing. I think Madame Alexander dolls are so cute. Everytime they have them in Mc Donalds happy meals I always buy the set. We have the Wizard of Oz dolls and some of the Disney princesses. It's weird because most dolls creep me out but those are cute.
I think that picture might give me nightmares tonight. I'll let you know.
