Sweet April in June

She's here! She's here! She's here!

Ever since I discovered there was an African American Sweet April doll, I have wanted one. Now I have one. And she is so cute!

Look at that adorable little baby face. I admit it, I have a tiny obsession with Remco's Sweet April dolls, sigh.

She arrived with her stroller and crib, two accessories I did not already have.

At the moment, Leneda has adopted her as her little sister. 

Later I will get a photo of this new Sweet April with the other three in my collection. Gosh, I have quads now. LOL

My Sweet April collection may finally be complete, unless I find a good shape and low priced large size Sweet April.

One of the Facebook groups I belong to is doing the A,B,Cs in dolls. Here are some of the ones I have shared with them.

A is for Sweet April by Remco.

B is for Bella, the French doll company.

C is for the Cowardly Lion by Effenbee.

And D is for Ddung, from Korea.

I'm having a lot of fun with this thread.

Today is a cold, gloomy, snowy day. Here are some doll photos to make the day a bit brighter.

Sweet April

 Sweet April is an adorable little doll by Remco that came out in 1971, the same year I was born. It is therefor not surprising that my mother bought a Sweet April doll for her Sweet April (me).

The Sweet April on the left is the first type, with bent legs. The doll on the right is a Strolling Sweet April. She has standing legs and is a walker.

Look at those big blue eyes!

The neat thing about Sweet April, besides her awesome and beautiful name ;), is that after you feed her a bottle, she cries ans when you push a button on her back, her arms raise as if to wipe her tears.

There were many outfits and playsets available for the doll. The furniture here is from the Strolling Sweet April and her Nursery set.

These are replacements for my cherished Sweet April (I think she probably was sold by a heartless tween at a garage sale around 1980).

This doll was made for walking, that's just what she's gonna do. One of these days this doll is gonna walk all over you.

Not pictured here, I just bought a third Sweet April in the blue romper with original shoes. Yes, I bought a doll just for the shoes. Too bad I now have to wait 3 years before I can put the shoes on one of these dolls that are in better condition than the new doll.
