Twins, triplets, quadruplets??? According to Most people, there were only ever CPK twins. Well In my book, If I have three identical kids and three matching outfits I now have triplets. Therefore, please do not feel the urge to inform me of the "Fact there is ONLY twins" according to Price guides, collectors, and so forth. The following are my set of CPK twins, triplets, and I have a set of Quads whose pictures will be up when their clothing is complete.
These first sets of girls were from a little old lady at a flea market. She had 20+ cabbage patch kids last august for sale. By November I had purchased 10+ and had a collection under way. The first girls are Pamela May and Cynthia Fay, Blonde Double ponies' Blonde hair, and Blue eyes.
Both have replacement Pacifiers, and Home-made contrasting violet and flowered dresses my mother Made from CPK patterns with a touch of her own skills. They both also have matching penny loafers. The first Picture is when I originally received them, and the second is once they got their new outfits!
These next two have a Triplet, but her outfit is not yet sewn. Once it is, a picture will be retaken with all three. I will describe the two who are pictured because they came from the same family of CPK's as the above twins. They all have Brown double ponies, with looped hair also. Their Violet eyes and single dimples make them SO adorable. The first picture again will be when I first got the girls. Then one with them in their new outfits, and eventually one of ALL THREE. The first two pictured are Morgan Ellen (in glasses in second picture) and Melissa Sue. The third and still to come from this triplet crew is Madeline Kay. Melissa and Madeline both have HM 3, KT Factory, Morgan has HM 8 Ok factory. (Yes I DO create my own sets of twins and triplets!)
The third and final set for now; you might see these two might see again later on a restoration, and fix-up page. This HUGE description will be placed there soon too! There were four kids in the auction with "mild staining". When these 'kids arrived there was nothing MILD about them. All four smelled terribly, and were head to toe mildew, rust, water marked filthy 'kids. My father, brother, and I all gasped in shock, and slammed the bag shut due to the stench. I assumed I might be able to save the outfits, but the kids would have to go. I wanted to try first before I gave up. I laid all four in my tub, filled it with warm water and mild baby shampoo. After 2 hours, and gentle (and not so gentle) scrubbing, wringing, and dunking they were not clean one single bit. I was ready to throw in the towel, when my dad suggested the cheap dollar-store stain remover M30, and Awesome Orange. Well I had already emptied the tub three times, and removed the 3rd tub ring, so I figured what the heck. I loaded the stain remover on, and coated it SOOOO thick. Ran some more water and let them soak. Again I scrubbed, wrung, and scrapped t every nook and cranny. They had lightened up considerably, so I figured Ok washing machine time. At this time I again, loaded on stain remover, and piled then in for three rounds of battle with the agitator. At which time I pulled out four New 'Kids. Never in a million years would I have believed that the simple 1.00 stain remover could do it. Nevertheless, it did. These two and their siblings were halfway home. Their outfit was a different story. No one would EVER throw out a Velvet twin outfit, and neither did I, with tooth brushes, bleach, soap and the "miracle soap" I fixed them up to new. Now if only I could find a way to stop the pox that are forming!!! Here is Laura Elizabeth, and Jonathan Taylor. Green eyes, tan hair, 8HM, Pink '86 signature and P factory.
