Paper Dolls!

Paper Dolls!
I was obsessed OBSESSED with paper dolls. I probably started playing with them at 6 or 7 in England but my true obsession started at 10 and went until probably 13 and a half. If I couldn't buy them (short of the 29 cents they cost ) then I drew them - and I've kept a lot of them to share! They all had very real personalities to me - their names are still obvious me the way that people's names would be.
So.........these are paper dolls that I owned and played with. My collection stopped when I stopped drawing them and playing with them - I've never been moved to buy as collectibles.
These paper dolls were favorites. I had them in England - they're probably early sixties. "The Bride" looked very American to me and so that was her role for years. Her name , given by me, was Jill.
