Tidings of Comfort & Joy - Ashton-Drake Holiday 2021

Do you remember Mrs. Beasley? She was the wonderfully wise doll snuggled by Buffy in the popular 1960s television show, “Family Affair.” Even though Mrs. Beasley was a doll, she was definitely one of the show’s central characters. You might remember her saying things like, “If you were a little smaller, I could rock you to sleep,” or “I do think you’re the nicest little friend I ever had.”

It’s been over 50 years since “Family Affair,” but Mrs. Beasley is still fresh in our hearts here at The Ashton-Drake Galleries.  So much so in fact, that we had to bring her back. We created an authentic reproduction of Mrs. Beasley, complete with all her charm and nostalgia. She has the same sweet blue eyes, square-framed glasses and beloved smile as she did on the show. And, she wears the same polka dot dress with yellow rick-rack trim, and of course, matching yellow shoes. We even took it a step further. If you pull the ring on her back, you’ll hear Mrs. Beasley relate one of 11 original phrases.
