It's bath time for wee Soapy!
(And it looks like it's laundry time for that dirty robe too!)
Soapy Siddle came with her very own gilded claw-foot tub, plush towel and talcum powder.
My sisters and I had other Liddle Kiddles, but Soapy is the only one I still have.
We had Kiddles that were in perfume bottles, lockets and soda-pop bottles.
They were so much fun to play with!!
(these 3 photos were borrowed off the web.)
If you were a child in the 60's, you probably remember playing with these too.
Did you have a favorite?
Look here for lots more images Liddle Kiddles
I also have some Liddle Kiddle paperdolls, on my paperdoll page.

Those are so cute, I didn't have them but they look familiar so perhaps my sister collected them. Love the golden tub!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that someone else loves her kiddles too. I have the liddle kiddle playhouse and Sheila Skediddle that walked. I loved the ones that came in the perfume bottles the most.

Oh yes my sister and I had a few and we loved them, I had and still do Babe with the little yellow sports car! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteSuch cute dolls but I haven't seen these before :)
ReplyDeleteBee happy x
Have a delicious day!
I'm surprised I don't remember any of these. My sisters may have had them.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember these but maybe only in America. It is great how you have kept these treasures of your childhood.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Gayle!! I LOVED these! I remember getting Kleo Kola after a nasty doctor appointment. It was a bribe for me to be good (not scream and cry in pain! LOL). I remember loving the smells. But I don't think I'd enjoy them at this age.
ReplyDeleteI still have them and my Barbies too. I don't know why. My girls were never interested. Now they are too old. Maybe grandkids someday?? LOL
Thanks for the memories!
I had quite a thing for Dawn Dolls (from the early 70s). Your dolls look familiar but I didn't own any. I'm always a sucker for collecting toys...especially dolls. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy daughters loved their Liddle Skiddles - guess that dates me. I liked them too - such cute liddle things.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, in Holland I never saw those cute kiddles.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. It's always nice as you know to have a new visitor..hope to see you again.
ReplyDeleteLaughing..my Mom's name is SHIRLEY and she LOVES..STRAWBERRIES as your doll title says.
For some reason I didn't have one..SIGH. I was a 60's kid too!
HOPE
Oh my sister and I spent many, many hours playing with our very favorite dolls! We had so many of them and even their houses. Next was troll dolls - remember?
ReplyDeleteGayle ~ They are so cute and wonderful, I really don't recall having any my sister more than likely did. I just love how your posts bring back happy childhood memories. I do love the tub.
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs Rosemary...
Oh, I remember these and i think i had some. Who know what happened to them but I know they were fun.

These look alot like the little perfume dollies we bought for my daughter-each one had a scent and were in a bottle. But that was in the 80's.
ReplyDeleteI had a doll that size called a "Heidi" doll. There was a botton on her tummy you pushed and she waved "hi".
Such fun for you to share your memories with us!
I'm not a kid from the 60's, but I do remember playing with little dolls like that. It was so much fun! Loved what you shared!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I do remember! I had 2 in perfume bottles One in a necklace locket and one in a bracelet locket!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another sweet memory...
Blessings, Debbie
Gosh I've never heard of those dolls, even though i was a young child in the 60s - it was Sindy dolls for us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment - i just checked out your post on Polish pottery - love those cheese ladies! How great to have a pottery nearby!

Thanks so much for coming by, and

I go thru these spells were I lose
my appetite and when I do I have no idea what I want to eat cause nothing sounds good.......lol
There are times I actually love to cook........just depends on my mood. Crazy!!
Yesterday and today I have been my normal self I am happy to report!! lol

I think you had more exciting toys than us - I never had one, sob! Maybe they never reached our shores.

I'm a little more of a kid in the 70's but I did have Kiddles! I had the house and the Kiddles that you could connect them to little cars or a tricycle, and put their feet in the peddles and they would move. So cute! I saw the ones I had on your link. Thanks for the memories! My favorite was the blonde one...think she wore blue, then I remember the redhead too with the cute hat.
ReplyDeleteLittle Kiddles...I loved those! I remember I had one that smelled like jasmine. I used to love sniffing her, lol.
ReplyDeleteI do remember!in fact I remember the smell even...I liked the ones that were in the locket. In fact a couple of years ago, I went on ebay to see If I could find them....I was surprised by the prices...I love kiddles! do you remember dawn dolls???
ReplyDeleteMy girls had Liddle Kiddles I believe. I'm glad you've kept these toys from your childhood. So, I'm not the only one with vintage toys in the closet!
