Serendipity

I have to admit that I am truly surprised at how many people have read the "Paper Dolls"  post I did some time ago. I would have never thought there would be so many that would find them interesting! Thank you all! It is for you that I continue with this post...adding more paper dolls that may be even more familiar to most people: Barbie, Skipper and...of course...Ken. And yes, these are mostly vintage, but should still make a little girl happy! In my day, the actual Barbie and Skipper dolls were my best friends, I took them everywhere with me!  I had tons of clothes, my mom made almost all of them! She was a very skilled seamstress!  Skipper Skipper's clothing Retro Barbie Retro Barbie Retro Barbie Retro Barbie 2 Retro Barbie Retro Ken Remember, download each photo, print on card stock and cut out to enjoy! Enjoy and have a wonderful day/evening!  Thanks for stopping by!

one kind of paper dolls I had as a child It's sometimes very strange to me to find that I can remember stuff from when I was a little girl...some 50+ years ago, and it's even stranger still that those memories still give me a sense of fondness...and loss. What spurred this particular memory, I can't say, but I know that the other day I was thinking about how much things have changed over the years. So many of the toys that I cherished as a child have come and gone...or been revamped and modernized so that they no longer look the same or even work the same. Such is the case with paper dolls. I can remember being in love with these things...probably as much as I would eventually love my first Barbie doll!  I remember sitting and playing with my paper dolls for hours on end. They were such a curious fascination for me...heavy cardboard dolls with little stands, clothing made out of a glossy but somewhat stiff paper...and then being able to simply change the outfit ...
