RIKKI RABBIT BOOKMARK

This is a handmade bookmark that was a gift in one of the round robins I belonged to in the past.  It is by Bonita

I received this back in 1990.  I hink with his expression he would be a good bookmark to use while reading a mystery book.

TINA WITH CHANGE ABOUT WIGS PAPER DOLL

This is a very different format than most paper doll books.  The doll does not punch or cut out, but is stationary on a 3 way mirror design,  there are slits about her head for the change about wigs to be inserted, and slits on her shoulders to insert the clothes tabs.  Since I have missed a couple of days  I am going to post the entire book today.

I thought this was a very nicely done book with the comments, butterflies and small sketches added to each page. The faces and hair styles are lovely also.

This was published by Saalfield #1324 in 1962.   The border around the doll and mirror is missing other wise it is in perfect condition.  The price of the book was only $.29, and had the approval seal from the Parents Magazine.

WHILE YOU’RE GETTING BETTER CARD

This is a very pretty card

The verse reads:  “Sending many get-well wished to keep you company.”

Then it was signed by the 27 members of The Western Reserve Doll Club.  I received it back in October 1980 while I was still living in Ohio.

It is a Rust Craft card number 35PE6427-0  PKT 77

CAMILLE A FASHIONABLE LADY OF 1830

This is a lovely black and white set that has the color key listed so you can color them yourself.

In case you haven’t noticed, I am really, really into the clothes women wore years and years ago.  They had style, design, made us look like females, and  covered us up.  My grandmother, who raised me most of the time as my mom worked, always told me to leave something to the man’s imagine, not to show it all.  Although I must say in this day and age I do not miss the girdle.

ANGEL CHRISTMAS CARD – HAND DRAWN

This is one I did a few years back.  I usually start out designing a Greeting Card for a special occasion and then end up doing a full set of paper dolls.

Here is the greeting card version, I have not done a full set yet but am toying with doing so for the Kansas City convention.  All my spare time between now and June 25 will be spent drawing.

TILLIE THE TOILER PAPER DOLL

You never know where you will find paper dolls.  This one came in one of my Round Robins.  There is no weekly date, but at the top of the page there is a 1934. This is a pretty Tillie and I like the blue dress.

In the picture directly above the lady in the middle is ” Mumsy” , one of my other round robins had the doll only for us to dress of her.

JUDY A PAPER DOLL

This is from the Childrens Playmate Magazine September 1950

It has patterns and trims so you can design clothes for her.  If one was very clever they could make a very large wardrobe for Judy.

JUST FOR YOU GREETING CARD

This lovely young lady was drawn by Queen Holdens’ talented daughter Kathy Lawrence.

It is signed which is rare in greeting cards.  I like the old fashion style dress.

This is a Carlton Cards number CV0015-02Y

The inside reads very simply: Happy Valentine’s Day and I have no date on it but it was sent to me by Barbara Clements.

I’M TINA – A BABY BEAR PAPER DOLL

This has a very delicate look to it.  I found it in a box of items that were not paper dolls.  I need to get busy when I get back from the convention and do some mounting and organizing of my collection.

I really like all the little extras and the Baby Bears’ teddy bears.  So very cute.

TILLIE THE TOILER PAPER DOLLS

These are two very small paper dolls.  I got them cut so there is no date on them.  The one came wrapped up in a piece of Sunday comic strip newspaper that has the date 4-21-1935.

The one on the top is definitely a Tillie and I like her hair style also the blue dotted dress.

The more I look at the one on the bottom it looks more like a Mopsy but I am probably wrong as it came in a lot titled “Tillie’s I won on e-bay.

They are both old and cute.
