Мы все иx когда-то вырезали, рисовали, просили нарисовать... наряжали во всевозможные одежки, xодили с ними к подружкам в гости. Они рвались, истрепывались, затирались до бесцветности... мы иx подкрашивали, наклеивали на картон... они все равно истрепывались, рвались, в конце концов - терялись или…
Yup, today we’re talking’ vintage paper dolls! When I was a kiddo, I loved my paper dolls. I think they were one of the first things that got me interested in fashion! I thought my paper dolls were totally stylin’ but I have to say that they paled in comparison to these dollies. Plucked from […]

This was one of my favorite movie stars growing up. It was a souvenir from a Paper doll Convention in 1978. The artist was Richard Rusnock, a collector, artist and a very nice person. There are …

Tom Tierney did an outstanding job on this book, timed with the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. I ordered my copy from www.doverpublications.com
Paper doll friend Natalia, a wine journalist from Russia, offerred to share these wonderful paper dolls with us. They're from the Soviet Union Journal Rabotnitsa (Working Woman), and were published between 1978-1982. They're beautifully drawn. Thank you so much, Natalia. As a side note: I took Russian for two years in high school, and loved it. I used to be able to read Cyrillic easily, and I was able to understand the Russian dialog in the marvelous movie The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming without reading the captions (though that likely owes more to the grade-school Russian in the movie, than my translation skillz). Unfortunately, most of that ability is gone now. P.S. Rent The Russians are Coming- it holds up extremely well (except for the hokey love story- and maybe I'd like to brain the bratty kid, but that's just me), and I am amazed that it found an audience at all during those tense years. It not only has something important to say to us about hysteria, it's laugh-out-loud funny.

... or as they were known in an earlier incarnation: Leonard Slye and Frances Octavia Smith. By any name, this cut set (shared by a friend), is amazing.

On the weekend I went with a couple of friends to the BLIM Craft Fair at the Cambrian Hall just off Main Street. It was a beautifully crisp sunny day, one of the first of the year, and we decided this would be a good reason to meet up for some inspirational browsing. Yes, in fact I do find cupcakes inspiring. Especially beautiful creations like these from Coco Cakes. I resisted temptation, but it's only ever temporary. I should bake some next weekend. Can't make them this pretty though! There were lots of vendors selling awesome jewelry. Basement Sweet, above, had some amazing necklaces that really had me lusting. Cool combinations of found-looking objects with feather, shells and other organic elements. The best part about craft fairs in getting ideas for one's own crafts, right? I always see little sewn things, art cards, jewelry, etc. and think "I could make that." Or more accurately, "I should try to make that." So I rarely buy things, though I know lots of people do. It's wonderful that people support their local crafters, and I would if I had the money to. What I will buy are things that I know I could never make: pottery, beauty products, music... See the BLIM website at www.blim.ca for more information on these and other vendors, as well as upcoming events.
