Paper Doll Mystery
Another paper doll mystery. These three pages feature Dutch *or Swedish?* costumes. One page is dated 1933. No other information is on these pages. They have a dotted 'cut' line on the side but have been pulled out cleanly of whatever they came from. Book or magazine? Again, if anyone has more information about these, please let me know! Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Edit,
Thanks to Sally W for helping id this set. These paper doll sheets are from a book called Little Faces from Far Away Places published in 1933 which included 7 pages of paper dolls.

Holly Sleighbells
Wow, it's almost Christmas! Here's my paper doll design for this year. Holly Sleighbells is a holiday Lalaloopsy doll introduced in 2011 as a mini Target exclusive and as a full size doll. She shares my birthday December 1st (National Mistletoe Day). As with the other Lalaloopsy dolls, she is created by MGA. She has a pet reindeer, who appears to be made out of gingerbread. I've included her main outfit, her mini outfit, and a Christmas outfit.

and that's it?! Not much going on in the doll world that I find interesting. :<

Seika Kisekae
Artist (I think) is Hisako Kozakai and publisher is Seika, who makes many coloring books and kisekae (dress up) books. I got to this information with the help of some of my facebook friends. It's Japanese and I came across two similar items on Mandarake website
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1045096272&ref=top
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1051515737&ref=list
With this additional information I (think) the characters name is Funny Carol or Honey Funny Carol. If anyone has additional translation, that would be helpful.

The top paper doll is Goldilocks, she has two outfits ad lots of tiny accessories, this is a later ME sheet. Below is Mikayla with two outfits and two hats along with lots of accessories as well.
