Dime Store Dolls

Reading Dime Store Dolls is truly a walk down memory lane. As a child growing up in 1950  Burbank, California, I fondly remember saving my allowance (a nickel a week) so I could treat myself to a treasure at Neff’s Five and Dime. Through Jane’s words I can once again visualize the magic the aisles held for my childhood eyes. Dolls were my friends…whether from Santa or from the Dime Store. As an adult, I continue to love dolls, a love that was nurtured through my Dime Store visits. The Dime Store holds a special place in American history and because of Jane’s book it will not be forgotten. -Susan Foreman, owner Once Upon a Tyme, Cambria, CA
