Summer Vacation Day 46

It's hard to believe that it is Day 46 - we're one quarter of the way through my summer vacation and I haven't duplicated mold/characters in my blog entries.  Now I'm to the point where we have a couple molds that are actually two characters!   This doll mold is Tatyana Alexandrova when she is caucasian, but she is Jordan when she is black.

The doll that is featured in my blog today is one that has a special meaning to me.  When my mother was still alive, she purchased this doll for me as a gift.  I had entered the W Club lottery for two dolls that were being offered.  I won the opportunity to purchase this doll (was hoping for the other), and I wasn't sure that I wanted to add her to my collection.  My Mom said, "Stop fretting about it - I'll buy it for you."  I even had it shipped to my parents' home when I was visiting there.  It was 2009 and she is Platinum Jordan.  Platinum Jordan had a very small edition size of only 180 dolls and sold for $75.

Since she was a gift from my mother who is no longer living, she is the most special doll in my collection.   She is a another doll I find difficult to capture with the camera, but she is lovely!  Every time I look at her, I think of Mama.
