I have always loved paper dolls. I have a big hat full of them. My Grand daughters used to play with them. Now its just me. Richard doesn't seem that interested. Anyway I posted a picture. I forgot to add on my blog that you can get the BETSY McCall paper dolls for free to cut out if you go to pinterest and search BETSY McCall PAPER DOLLS. Nancy jO
Nancy...saw a lot of Mary E in that Pile of Paper Dolls. Loved them!!! Thanks for the McCalls Tip. What Book did you just start? Always up for a good read!
I loved paper dolls as a kid! I have all of the ME magazines with her paper dolls in them . . .haven't cut any out yet. I also bought a book a few years ago of paper dolls that are Victorian style . . . haven't cut any of those out either. CJ

I played with paper dolls as a child. Katie Keene was my favorite. Five years ago a friend gave me several vintage McCall's magazines which have the Betsy McCall paper dolls.

Betsy McCall was the paper doll I played with. My grandmother got the magazine and always saved them for me.

Someday I'll do something about the paper dolls that are in the Mary Engelbreit magazines . . . That is one magazine I have kept (as well as my Mary Janes Farm magazines) and I think I have all the issues. (Not published any more . . ) CJ

Love paperdolls. My Nana used to save me the Betsy McCall's too! When she traveled she always came home with a paperdoll book for me. Yet, I didnt like to play with Barbies. Wish I still had them.
