Janet Lennon original paper doll artwork, c. 1964

 I'm glad Pat Corte Rooney brought in this original artwork of a Janet Lennon paper doll set. There were a number of paper dolls devoted to the Lennon Sisters, the singing group that was featured often on the Ed Sullivan Show in the 1960s.

Irish Molly of the Gay Nineties by Helen Page

Carol Carey had Helen Page's Romance paper doll book. And she discovered several years ago, that Helen didn't have it. Carol gave it to her as a gift because she felt Helen should have a copy of her own work. And what do you know: Helen surprised Carol with this beautiful original artwork of Irish Molly. Pretty nice, all around.
