Today is Pink Saturday! Time to play! In the spirit of play I am going to share with you all some fun paper dolls I picked up recently at My Father's Daughter. It brought back wonderful memories of playing with paperdolls with my two older sisters. What fun it was to pick them out, cut out their clothes, make up story lines and interact with the other dolls we already had. Does anybody remember the Green Acres paper dolls? My sister had those. Za Za had such fabulous outfits! Well these paper dolls are a little older than any ones I played with but they are in fabulous shape. Here they are:
This is the front cover of the storybook. Love her pink coat!
This is the title page-Ibelieve it says 1947,1948, Simon and Shuster.
This is the back of the book where the little paper dolls are tucked into their beds for sleep time.
Above is the middle of the story where Jim and Judy play with 1000s of butterflies and flowers. Then they go and pick apples out of a Farmer's orchard. Apparently he doesn't mind them stealing from him. Below is their clothes closet which contains most of their original clothes.
Thanks for stopping by my place so I could share in your Pink Saturday. Don't forget to check out everyone else listed at Beverly's http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ See you soon!

My daughter like the pink books.. even the illustration is so cute!.. thank you for sharing.. have a pink nite!
So precious! I remember playing with paper dolls as well. :o)
Your paper dolls book was a real bargain--it is in such great condition! I used to LOVE to cut the paper dolls out of the McCall's magazine! My sister and I would fight over them! I loved your funny comment on my post!!!
It is just amazing the paper dolls were salvaged because paper doesn't hold up well. I used to play with the Betsy McCall Magazine paper dolls that came out in the magazine. I loved your post.
i love vintage children's books...and paper dolls are so fun!

Thanks for coming by to see me...
I, too, am running late on visiting all the PINKS...so many to visit!!
Your paper dolls are sooo precious. When I was a little girl (a long, LONG time ago lol), my very favorite things to play with were my paper dolls. I had a shoe box that held them all and I took that box every where I went. At times, when money was scarce, I cut figures out of the Sears Catalog and we played with them over and over until they came apart.
Thanks for the memories...
Hey Susan! When I was a little girl, I loved paper dolls too...I haven't thought about those in.... I can't even tell you how long. Thanks for sharing this adorable post and the paper dolls! Have a great week!

I used to love paper dolls! Seems like it takes so much more to make kids happy these days!
Hi and it's so nice to meet you! Oh, I'm a big paper doll fan. I used to play with paper dolls by the hours. I even have some framed in one of my spare bedrooms. Oh, I think you really have a little treasure here! These are so lovely!

What a sweet book. I love that it's a cute little boy & girl set. Reminds me of my twins. I think most of the paperdoll sets I have seen have always been of girls. thanks for sharing. xoxo, Joanna

Oh, they are so darling! I love paper dolls, and have a small collection of them. I had tons of them when I was little, but my mom could not stand any kind of clutter and gave them to the neighbor kids when she thought I was too old to want them anymore! :O( So now I'm buying them again as I see them! But I've never seen this adorable set before! How lucky you are!
