THE HUMAN SIDE OF DOLL
CHAT
Since the inception of the Doll Chat Board at
eBay those who post there regularly have had
alot of fun, gained friends and shared doll
information -- all in the name of loving
doll collecting. Just for fun, I've developed
this page to show you some of the more human
posts captured off the Doll Chat Board --
enjoy!!

19:45:43 PDTAuctions CHOCOLATE CAKE (Recipe
by Mrs. George (Getrude)Temple, a cake which
Shirley temple is especially fond.)
I saw this post and when I noticed he had
made no mention of how long to bake the cake
I queried the Doc and this was his rather
interesting reply:
"Grandma baked'em untill they were done. The
recipe came from an early thirty's book. I
looked and the recipe has no specific time.
Perhaps that is when one must bake until
golden brown and the toothpick comes out dry.
What can I say about what Mrs. Temple did not
say? Sorry. Let me know how you like it.
One day we even adopted our theme song and
Charmar was nice enough to record it for
us!

Grandma Bellman of the famous doll and
toy show promotion family has made hundreds
of that cake to sell in the family
concession at their Doll Shows. I gave her
the recipe ten years ago. It just popped up
again so I thought some chatters would enjoy.
BAKE UNTIL NICELY DONE.....sounds good to me.
Go for it!
Remember in thirties and early fourties the
stoves were not even heated enough to give
specific lengths of time. My mother got her
first electric stove in the middle fourties.
Up to that point it was a tin box oven that
sat on the wood stove or later, a Kero
burner. That made the cake taste oily. In
1941 Dad got his first truck for working and
put electricity in so he could do books after
dark without the oil lamp stinking up the
place. WE WERE COUNTRY for sure."

Oh, little playmate.
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies,three
Climb up your apple tree
Holler down your rain barrel
Slide down your cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends Forevermore
Oh little playmate
I can not play with you
My dolly's got the flu
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Ain't got no rain barrel
Ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends Forevermore
Oh little playmate
Come out and play with me
I'll bring my dollies, three
Climb up my apple tree
Holler down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forevermore

WARNING!!!! DOLL POX; VERY CONTAGIOUS TO
ADULTS!!
Symptoms: Becomes glassy eyed
when
dolls are mentioned. Mumbles in strange
language, understood only by another
afflicted person. Victims tend to gather
together in groups calling themselves
"Clubs". Hangs out in strange places-
frequents antique stores, flea markets and
doll shops. Feverishly checks latest books
and price guides. NOTE: becomes violent when
thwarted from doing any of the above.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT: Give money in large
doses, allow full freedom to attend
clandestine gatherings of other victims. DO
NOT believe anything the patient
says!! :P
Goody is soooo funny sometimes! And no one is safe when she's around; one night she picked on Doc:
