I recently was doing some reorganizing in one of my closets and came across this box of treasured vintage paper dolls that my sister's and I collected and played with when we were growing up. Boy, did it bring back memories. I remember hours and hours of creative play and fun making up stories while dressing and re-dressing these flat, but dimensional characters. I don't recall doing all the punching out and cutting of each paper piece and tab . . . I think we had alot of help with that part thanks I'm sure to my very patient Mom and Aunts's! And although I haven't counted how many actual pieces are in the box there are several different styles from Raggedy to The Gingham Girls to Little Lulu and of course, Barbie. I think that I'll definitely have to figure out a way to work this whole paper doll look into my Pop Art Minis and maybe even with my candles . . . I feel a new design coming on! Off to the drawing board!

Wow, they are really in good shape! I loved playing with paper dolls. I still have my Lennon Sisters and Chatty Cathy paper dolls.
What a cool find. We played and played with paper dolls too. I recently looked for some for my little granddaughter and found nothing that I liked...and they were ridiculously expensive. I guess I need to find some vintage ones that would make us both happy :o)
Definitely was a fun find! My Mom was a treasure keeper and they were in really great shape! They just don't make them like they used to! Too fun!
