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.

mystery colored paper dolls





M Bly
Here are several pages of paper dolls that have been colored.  They appear to be the same or similar but only the bottom one is marked M. Bly.  I'm afraid I don't have any information about these, they may have been from a magazine ,but the paper seems thicker then most publications.  I'd say 1920s based on the clothing.  If anyone has any more information about these sheets, please let me know!  Also, I'm super busy!  so happy new year!

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.

Joints!  I love joints



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

CutOut Dressing Book





Here is the second Japanese book with the same title as yesterday's post.  I have two copies of this book.  One has light cardboard pages, the other has thicker cardboard pages but they are the same inside.  This set features 3 girls and outfits.  It is four pages and the clothing and dolls punch out.

Cutout Dressing Book



Kewpie!


I have two different books with the same title.  I'll post the second tomorrow. This Japanese book features four sheets of cardboard press out dolls.  This set features a family.  It seems to be common to find this set as old new stock around the web.  The price was $2.00.
