Remember adopting your very first baby? Whether you were three years old, eight years old or the person providing that first child to a loved one, it was a memorable experience. The Cabbage Patch Kids were a unique and welcomed doll establishment.
Xavier Roberts resurrected a beautiful technique called "needle molding". It is a form of fabric sculpturing from the early 1800's. The end product of this process provided soft, sculpted bodies for the dimpled vinyl baby heads. The Cabbage Patch provided many Kids and Babies to loving children around the world. These children (and their parents) lavished hours upon hours of love and money on these precious deliveries.
The special arrival of such a unique doll not only appealed to little girls but also for little boys that wanted to nurture their own child just like 'daddy'. The allure of these dolls was not just the unique process of creation but the fact that they came with an adoption certificate. All of the mommies and daddies could name and date the certificates, which would make that baby 'theirs'.
The Cabbage Patch children would arrive in their special packaging. Some were cute in frocks and short sets while others were dressed in business attire and even astronaut suits. Their appeal crossed boundaries, especially for opening the door for little boys having a doll.
Soon after the appearance of the Cabbage Patch deliveries began a clothing line appeared for the newly adopted children. Beautiful outfits appropriate for the little boys and girls. Some adults would even purchase these adorable outfits for their real life preemies. The clothes were a perfect fit and designed with safety in mind.
Additional branches of the industry developed with patterns being developed so that the adopted infants and children would have unique couture. A televised holiday special and a cereal were another venue that the Cabbage Patch Children explored. They were even chosen for one of the commemorative US postal stamps representing the 1980's. The Cabbage Patch Kids also represented an Olympic team as a mascot. Their successes have lead to even a commercial appearance for the insurance company Geico.
As time went by, as with any fad, the Cabbage Patch delivered fewer and fewer new babies and kids but the memories are just as abundant as they were back then. If you look around you will still find these special babies and children on your local toy store shelves, listed in auction galleries or available directly from the hospital located at http://www.cabbagepatchkids.com If you know a little mommy or daddy that would love to have their first baby or child the Cabbage Patch still delivers little bundles of joy.

Commemorative Coins: Summer Olympic Coins, Winter Olympic Coins, Shooting Thaler, Commemorative Coins of Bulgaria $19.49 Chapters: Summer Olympic Coins. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 220. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Although the first Olympic coin can be traced back to 480 BC, the modern Olympics did not see its first commemoratives until 1951. The original concept of Olympic coins was that the Greeks believed that coins brought the general public closer to the Olympic games. The premise was that those who could not attend the games could at least have a tangible souvenir of the event. In 1951, the government of Finland authorized the striking of the first modern Olympic coin, a 500 Markkaa. At first, the coins circulated as currency in the issuing country and the mintages were high. In borrowing from the traditions of ancient Greece, the coins were a memento of the 1951 Games, and a coin that numismatists could now add to their collection. With the exception of Canadas Lucky Loonie program and its 2007 25-cent pieces to commemorate the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, it is rare that Olympic coins are minted for circulation. Traditionally, Olympic coins are numismatic coins.
