(keeping in mind I am a child of the 80s)
remember this......I was a child of the 40's !!!!!
anyway, as little girls, we loved our baby dolls. We would dress them and take them for walks in the carriages. During WW2, I lived in California and missed my "Bright Eyes" baby, so very much, that Santa left her under my tree so very far from home.....thanks to some help from an uncle who worked for the PO. One of my treasured memories.
And paper dolls....they were another big thing that kept my friends and me amused for hours. We had to obtain boxes from all the cigar smoking men in the family to keep the clothes nice and neat. We had a ball with them.
Have any of you ladies seen the fabric out now with dolls and also the fabric for making outfits for them.....almost like our paper dolls.
Well, ladies, we can come back to the current generation and see what has developed over the years.
