A Fascinating World of Cultures!

Welcome!

Here is another WordPak creation I made.
How many different languages do you recognize?
They all say ‘Welcome’!

I love to learn about other cultures than my own.
I love to see their traditional costumes,
learn about the foods they like,
and listen to their music.

Paper dolls featuring Sweden from
a wonderful vintage Around the World set 
of paper dolls by Kellogg’s Krumbles

I hope you have enjoyed this very small tour
around the world with some vintage
paper dolls and unique folk and traditional
costumes representing their countries.

I haven’t showcased any countries from
North America, or
Central America.
Australia and all the Island countries are waiting,
 along with most of Africa.
Oh! What a huge world we live in!

However,
they will come another day!


‘Til then,
