Lucky Dolls


Lizzie has been playing quite a bit with paper dolls recently. I pulled out my collection of paper dolls to show her the other day and thought I'd share some here while I was at it. These "Lucky Dolls" from Japan (circa 1950's-ish?) were her favorites. Their wonky offset perforations and vibrant coloring is totally endearing.

    Hi Suzanna,
    What fun these are!! I love their colorfully mis-matched clothes!
    I have had a renewed fascination with paper dolls myself and even made a paper doll character from a child's face from a vintage Belgian postcard along with the body of a vintage paper doll! I have made some digital collage sheets with her and even some banners, one includes the rubber stamp of an orange I bought from you!
