Do you remember these paper dress-up dolls with their interchangeable outfits? I had several when I was a little girl. Being made of very thin paper it

New Tory Bauer goodies are available from CafePress, using the wonderful covers designed for the eBooks by Curtis Taylor (yeah, the name is not a coindicence). I love CafePress's rectangle fridge magnets. I've had sets made of each of the new covers. Mourning Shift and Cold Front look right at home with the rest. The 6th (and final, for now) cover is being designed even as I type. Soon, I'll have a full set. I'm wearing the Mourning Shift tee right now, and as soon as it cools off enough (not any time soon, I fear), I'll be wearing the black Cold Front hoodie. Two more beer glasses to add to my collection. They'll fit in nicely with the rest. I do have to add a caveat about the beer glasses- the transfers are exact replicas of the covers, but they're also translucent, and therefore not easy to see. Also, if you leave the glasses soaking overnight (not that I'd ever do that), the glass turns a slightly opaque, which actually makes the images easier to see. It's not a problem for me, but it could bother others who order the glasses. Amazingly enough, beer glasses don't just have to hold beer. I like the Seagram's Dark Honey, though maybe not quite as much as the Wild Turkey American Honey. I can sip the Wild Turkey neat, but not the Seagram's. On the other hand, the Seagram's makes a nice mixer. It's been my week for CafePress orders- Curt designed a new logo for his HopHeadSaid beer blog. I loved it, and immediately needed a beer glass (natch), a golf shirt, and a new coaster for my desk (serving its purpose right now). You can see all of the Tory Bauer merchandise by clicking here, or on the link to the upper right. The HopHeadSaid things are available here, and while you're at it, check Curt's blog. It's great.
Yeah, I know it's still Wednesday, but I'll be gone most of tomorrow, so I thought I'd upload these tonight. This set is interesting- the very Betsy McCall-ish clothes are obviously from the late 50's-early 60's (this is what I wore in grade school) but the dolls have been redrawn, with 70's poofy hair. It looks like there should be 3 dolls (with the girl on the cover being a part of the set), but there are only clothes for the 2 on the back cover. My guess is that the original book had 3 dolls and more pages of clothes. Anyway, I love lots of separates in a paper doll set- mixing and matching all those tops and skirts/shorts makes for a lot of different outfits. P.S. My friend Peggy, who often knows all about paper dolls, says that this book is, indeed, a reprint, of the boxed set #6169 "3 Darling Dolls With Real Wavy Hair" . I will look to see if I can find scans of the original dolls- and maybe the missing clothes for the 3rd doll.

This lovely set was obviously drawn by the same artist as the Carnival set I posted way back when I first started the Thursday Tab. It was published by Saalfield, in 1944 (same year as the Carnival set). Thanks Dottie!
I’m not sure if I’m in love with my mom for showing me these little gems, the internet for helping me create a holiday wish list, my husband for literally “filling” my holid…
Tonight seemed like a good time to post a male paper doll.
Was the editor of The Vidette Messenger surprised! He hoped you young readers would like the Etta Kett cutout doll printed recently, but, goodness! he certainly didn’t expect to receive so ma…
This newspaper paper doll appeared in August of 1933. Elsinore was a member of the paper doll family created by Laura R. Brock. I think this paper doll series is a lot more interesting than the Movie Star paper doll series created by Laura R. Brock.
I love this set- especially the triangle cat-eye sunglasses. And the hat forms look like pitchforks...Thanks Dottie!
A cute idea for a x-mas card, a tree you can decorate with tabbed ornaments. Merrick reproduction from the 80's. Description:cut out tree Name: Christmas Tree Date:1980s Publisher: Merrick Format: folded card
These are the promised pictures of one of the cut out paper dolls. They are fixed on hangers and I'll keep this one for my "little girl...
Another souvenir from the 2012 Dayton, Ohio convention, by one of my favorite artists, Larry Bassin.
