Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteVery pretty doll, thank you for sharing with us.
Hugs,
Meri
Wonderful! That is what my paper doll playing friend and I did when we got together. It was a much slower paced world back in the late thirties and early forties and we were still "playing" with paper dolls in late elementary school but it was more creative "play" I think. Maybe that's why I love cutting out applique pieces. Carol
ReplyDeleteHi Linda ! This is some find. Of course Margaret' outfits are wonderful. I also had to smile on the butterfly/bumble bee outfit. It is so great that these things have been preserved for us to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad these home-made paper dolls brought back good memories. Wish I still had the ones I made 40 years ago. I re-posted the first three pictures so they can be clicked on and copied. I was resizing the pictures wrong, so they couldn't be enlarged. Think I fixed it now.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely adorable!!
