That post made me smile! I remember having some of those as a kid!!

I am totally and completely jealous. That was so fun. I loved Paper Dolls when I was little but don't have any of them - and my girls...well I have tired but they aren't into them! My oldest likes to sew clothes for big dolls though - to each their own I suppose!
ReplyDeleteGayle, I am so sorry for your loss. It is a hard time...will continue to pray.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs,
Dianna
I had forgotten all about paper dolls until you jogged my memory with this charming post.
ReplyDeleteI remember having paper dolls as a child - would spend ages dressing an Undressing them! Great post
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen paper dolls forever! Thanks for the memories. Thanks for stoppping by Applejack Lane!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing as a girl was dress-up dolls with their little fold-over paper tabs - how this brings back memories. xx
ReplyDeleteVery, very clever!
ReplyDeleteHow cute was this? I love this post...such cute pictures too. Thank goodness undies have changed!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME, AWESOME, and did I say awesome?!! I used to love my paper dolls, and am quite mad at both myself and my mom for getting rid of my collection as a kid. I had all those great sets that came in a folder/book with pockets. I must have had 20 if I had one. Thanks for the memory. I remember having a thumbelina set, a barbie set or 2, and not sure of all the others.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember when the McCalls magazine used to put the doll in every issues with at least one outfit? I used to collect those also.
Susan
