My brother wasn't born until I was 11, so I never had to worry about a sibling messing with my stuff. I was never really into paper dolls, although when I started babysitting for families, I had a bag of stuff to do with my babysit-ees that included paper dolls. I thought I was pretty cool that I brought the kids new things to play with that they didn't use every day at home.Hollie @ I'm Busy Procrastinatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15186733812673111574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-49072722319918636142014-03-05T16:54:55.687-05:002014-03-05T16:54:55.687-05:00I would have known those pictures were you no matt...I would have known those pictures were you no matter what context I'd seen them.

I was meticulous about taking care of them. I can still picture 2 of my favorites. The Heavenly Blue Wedding set had a complete wedding party including parents, bride, groom, flower girl, ring bearer, junior bridesmaid, 3 bridesmaids, maid of honor, and best man. In addition to the wedding clothes, it also had clothes appropriate to wear on the honey moon and at the rehearsal dinner. The cardboard folder it came in stood up and served as the wedding chapel. My other favorite was the Lennon Sisters set (Yes, THE Lennon Sisters of Lawrence Welk fame. I'm that old). The sisters, Diane, Peggy, Kathy and Janet, had glamorous gowns to perform in as well as sportswear (including a tennis racket), and everyday dresses. The youngest of the sisters, Janet, was only about 4 years older than me, but light years away in sophistication and talent. I was convinced that if I were only born in California instead of a working class neighborhood in Queens, NY, I could have looked and sang like them too. Thanks for sparking a wonderful memory.KatieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402499142649295188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-58223896854691281132014-03-04T23:14:43.857-05:002014-03-04T23:14:43.857-05:00I loved paper dolls as a kid.
