Sometimes we get wrapped up in the "branding" of something when what we should really be thinking about is the sentiment behind the gift. :)Kelly Swailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712523963592799928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16769486.post-62065482120872055362007-12-30T12:00:00.000-06:002007-12-30T12:00:00.000-06:00Cabbage Patch dolls were the real fake.

I drove up just to get it after having missed out on her sold out exhibit in the Moutains of the Berea arts and craft show. I had never seen anything like them. Everyone was drawn to them like newborn babies. They were called soft sculptures. I was shocked to see the first faces of the cabbage patch dolls. The looked like copies of Martha's. In the 80's she sued. the court ruled that while the cabbage patch guy had benefitted from Martha's design she had not copy written the design and he did. Martha's Original Baby Doll designs were later marketed to homemakers to create treasures of their own. Homemade is just about as close to the Martha Nelson Original Baby Doll as most people will get.I mostly see mass produced heads offered..some ask for bodies. Haven't found any original handmade softsculpture's like the one I bought years before cabbage patch was born..and then they were handmade just like you're aunt did it. I only wanted handmade dolls at the time and still prefer them.MONICA SEYMOUR MCFEETERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778569093808780241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16769486.post-1154553996372626852006-08-02T16:26:00.000-05:002006-08-02T16:26:00.000-05:00Man do I know the feeling.
