The Paper Collector

I don't have a date for this lovely page, but it feels very 1958 for some reason.

"Dolls of Many Lands," (Whitman, 1932) is one of my favorite sets.

Gretel of Holland has an apron for working in the garden, knitting and,

of course, kitchen work.

I'm taking a wild guess on the year...but the drop waist and ribbons say the WWI era to me...

Sending courage for all who set sail in 2026.

Wishing all of my readers a very happy holiday season.

This postcard is postmarked Dec. 22, 1910, from Grace to Mr. Myers of NY.
