One introspective, the other observant, both truthful and not a word interrupts the flow. <br />I too had paper dolls, some very old ones from Germany and modern (1950s) too. I would design clothes for them, working on shapes my Mother(the real artist) cut out of paper. <br />To switch from that solitary amusement to the boys' skirmish is a fine show of dexterity yourself. Grandma is certainly a very good writer!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-70388142466260582132012-08-16T23:10:11.488+10:002012-08-16T23:10:11.488+10:00When I was a young girl, all I had was one doll.

Go...Ah yes those little boys are so like lion cubs. Good way to think of it. LOL I have not thought of playing with paper dolls for a long time. I had a friend with quite a collection and so envied the lovely outfits her paper dolls had. I remember it being a big deal when I could confidently cut them out myself.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811244438243200435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-66354420610977127102012-08-16T05:14:14.715+10:002012-08-16T05:14:14.715+10:00I love both of this delightful poems of paper doll...I love both of this delightful poems of paper dolls when we were young, and boisterous boys like little cubs.

There's just something about them that really takes us back to an easier, simpler time.<br /><br />And I have to agree with you, there's just something about a houseful of boys carrying on and raising a ruckus! That last line is so sad though!<br /><br />Two wonderful poems, thanks so much for sharing them!Mary B.

I bet my granddaughter would like them. (They would also be good for learning cutting skills!)But you're right..they are nowhere to be found.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.com
