Big Online Paper Doll Auction!

(This costume is from the Ann Sothern paper doll set -- is it in the auction? I don't know, but it just might be. In any event, it's just right for Easter Sunday!)

The dresses are "Designed by Chiquet," but I see what looks like the name "Briggs" running vertically in small print on the right side of the page.

This cover perfectly captures the extremes of March weather: wind and snow, and the first signs of spring in emerging crocuses. (The elf's mailbag contains a letter: "Memo--First Call for Crocoses.")
