Betsy in Spite of Herself | Maud Hart Lovelace
post image

I sooo wanted to be Betsy. Love all the Holiday scenes in this series but especially Betsy's trip to Milwaukee.
“Everyone‘s coming here for the Second Christmas Day,” Mrs. Muller said at breakfast. “Where are we going for the Third Christmas Day?” “What is planned for the Fourth Christmas Day?” Betsy listened in bewilderment. “How many Christmas Days do you have, for goodness‘ sake?"❤

Andrea313 I LOVE that book! All of the Milwaukee scenes are so evocative! I will never feel right visiting that city if it's not Christmas. 5y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Andrea313 Oh how I LOVE Betsy! 5y
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig She is one of my absolute favorites! There's going to be a Betsy-Tacy convention in Mankato in 2022, btw- mark your calendar now! 😄 5y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Andrea313 Been to Mankato the summer before last but I've never been to convention. I've always wanted to go to one! 5y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen Oooh! Tag me on a pic please? 5y
rubyslippersreads @Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen I‘m glad there are so many Betsy fans here. 😊 5y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @rubyslippersreads I've never understood why Maud Hart Lovelace isn't as well known as other authors. Because of that I get really excited when I meet another Betsy fan. 5y
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig @rubyslippersreads I get really excited meeting other fans, too. I can't believe Maud isn't more widely known so it's such a pleasant surprise when others love her, too! 5y
ChristieWitch I used to LOVE the Betsey-Tacey stories when I was younger! Haven't thought about them in years! 5y

A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

My childhood Christmases were filled with family, books and things for my doll Molly 😄. I was 11 in this picture and remember this particular Christmas well. Those backgrounds were a huge hit and I played with them, and Molly, long past “doll playing age”. That dress was also a favorite of mine. I sort of wish I could still pull that style off lol. #christmascarolbuddyread #xmaspast #christmaspast
