Happy Canada Day!


Happy Canada Day!
Canada is 149 years old this year, 2016.
Next year is the Big Celebration for the 150th!
These photos were taken in 2005.
I can never dress up my dolls in Canadian clothes as I always sell them off their backs!


The is the entrance to Fort Langley BC.
This is where British Columbia was born, in 1858.

A member of Fort Langley who wished to hold Chatty Cathy!


My parents with Chatty Cathy.
It was my Dad's 76th birthday.


Chatty Cathy inside the old store.
She is a prototype doll, made in 1960. She was the most common Chatty doll made.
She has lovely tan limbs which never fade, and blue decal eyes and blonde bobbed hair.


One of the original stores, built in the 1840's which for BC is very old.


A Chatty Cathy size cannon.


Mmm....a delicious cake!

It was a fun outing.
