My parents had a closet in their bedroom that when you opened the door to the closet it would swing back and mee the door to the bathroom. Behind those two doors created a hidey hole. I played there alot when I was in grade school.
I also remember having barbies and skipper and ken dolls and I would fashion houses out of cardboard boxes and play for hours on the back porch.
I remember a book of old time stories my grandma had, One of the stories was about these two girls who cut out paper dolls from wallpaper and attached them to sticks for their paper doll house. They would fashion furniture and make play food for the doll house, Til the day when a mouse was found in the house and it has eaten part of the kitchen wall and the paper dolls were scared to go into the house. So Tom Thumb came to call and he helped them chase the mouse away and fix their house.
I have often thought of that story and I can see little girls in the early 1900s playing this way with make believe paper dolls!!
