I recently found the final paperdoll from this 14 card collection.
These sweet little Birthday Greetings and Get Well Wishes
were published by American Greetings starting in 1949.
I do not know who the illustrator was. (I'm working on that.)
Each card features a nursery rhyme or fairytale character, front and back,
and includes a rhyming story on the inside.
(Many are missing their feathers.)
I've seen these with "A Forget Me Not Doll" and also "A Storyland Doll"
printed on the back, but do not know which label came first.
They are very similar to the Hallmark cards, by a different artist,
that I've shown on past posts.
Curley Locks, Sleeping Beauty, The Queen of Hearts
Snow White, Cinderella, Mary And Her Little Lamb
Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood, Little Bo Peep
Little Miss Muffet, Little Boy Blue, Mary Mary Quite Contrary
Jack and Jill, Little Girl With The Curl
I have to admit that Mary with her little garden of daisies is pretty adorable! :-)
Which one is your favorite?
They each have their unique cute look . . . I like the Jack and Jill card . . .
ReplyDeleteOh I like them all - that is so neat that you have the whole collection.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, these are so amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo precious. They are all adorable. I love any of the ones that have the kitten. What a fantastic collection!
ReplyDeleteThey are soooooo precious......how have you been?

What a sweet collection! They are all so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable collection, love it!
ReplyDeleteI love it! You have such beautiful unique items. My favorite is Little red riding hood followed by Mary had a little lamb.
ReplyDeleteThey are all my favorite --- and bring back many happy childhood memories (although mostly I had paper dolls homemade from the M. Wards and JC Penney and Sears catalog).
ReplyDeleteI've gone up and down...up and down trying to choose a favorite! I guess it would be Cinderella but they are all so perfectly precious!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so cute but I really am partial to Little Red Riding Hood, she is adorable.

ReplyDeleteSnow White is my favorite! Their all so sweet!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday!

Oh I just love this collection, I too have a few and I really not sure which is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can choose a favorite - they're all precious! <3
ReplyDeleteSuch cute cards. I agree with Stacy--too hard to choose.
ReplyDeleteM :)
They are all beautiful, but my favourite is the little girl with a curl! The illustrations look so familiar, but I can't think who they are by
ReplyDeleteHi Gayle,..I am new to your blog...and really enjoy it. The little glasses you wondered about are from the 1950's. They contained cheese spread! I have one with green little animals and treasure it because I remember it as being "my special glass" as a kid!! It is vintage like me!
ReplyDeleteYou must have been beside yourself to find the last one! Then again, what will you look for on Ebay, antique stores, Etsy and every blog site!?!?! Smile. I love Mary's plaid dress but Bo is darn cute too!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so cute Gayle.......I love Snow White with her sweet little blue birds and the Queen of Hearts has cute little red shoes, as do a couple of others.....I'll go with all of them!!

What a fantastic little collection. I love them all-but I think Goldilocks and Little Bo have such pretty dresses.Please share any more info you find out. I'd love to start my own collection.
ReplyDeleteAdorable, I love paper dolls! I favor the Jack and Jill, but love them all!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many paper dolls you have....do you have your own favourites or does that changes depending upon the last ones that you looked at. These are particularly pretty
ReplyDeleteBest wishes

Hugs,

SO cute! I think Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and Jill are my faves.
ReplyDeletewhat a neat collection of paper dolls. Where do you find them? Congrats on finding the last one!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and sweet collection!! Love them all!! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteI feel so envious every time I see these - lucky you to have completed the collection. They are all beautiful - I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite although I do like the Jack and Jill card (except that it does look like Jill and Jill!)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! How fun to have the whole collection! It's too hard to pick a favorite! ♥
