My mom is 77 and still loves paperdolls. That certainly is an old-fashioned thing to like, but it stems back to her girlhood in the 1930s during The Great Depression. She said she would sit for hours and hours on the step playing with her movie star paperdolls. Nowadays, she has collected the Tom Tierney paperdolls for years. I was down in a book warehouse and called her to see if she had the Tierney ones I had found there and she actually needed a few!
So this is my homage to the activity that made my mom happy as a child. The image is from a children’s book from the 70s, so they were still being fashioned then. Personally, I loved my Barbies! But as you can see, I love cutting out paper now myself.

I loved playing with paper dolls as a child! My sister and I treated ours like Barbie dolls and we would play with them for hours. Those were much simpler times. Great photo for the hunt!
I collect paper dolls when I was a kid. I don’t know if they are still in my parents’ house. I shall look for it this Sunday.

Oh that is so neat! I used to cut out paperdolls, too. I remember being so excited bending those tabs and “dressing” them.
Then I turned my attention to barbies and my mom would crochet/knit different outfits for them – so much fun!
Nice entry for the them. Have a nice weekend.
