Irish Paper Dolls

Welcome!

vintage flower fairy clip

I'm feeling kinda' blech-y today, so let's have some paper doll fun.

That's sure to cheer me up!

from 'The Victorian Bear Family.

I love his green suit and matching hat!

Next we have a vintage Katy Keene paper doll -

I found her on pinterest.

From an international doll set -

Would you like more paper dolls that are black and white and need coloring?

Let me know!

Here is a paper doll from a little booklet by Dover.

Check out their site, their addy is to the right.

There are more costumes in the paper doll book!

The next one comes from a set called "In Old New York", by Saalfield.

I have shared this book before, but I really love the green dress and cap here,

so I am sharing it again -

I found a new paper doll site that offers copies for free!!

WARNING!!!

There are many 'trojans' and virus, etc. involved with this site.

We have Kapersky Anti-virus, which captured them all,

making my downloads clean and safe.

If you go to her website and download

(she has hundreds of dolls)

make sure your anti-virus program is up and running!

That said, here is a fun vintage paper doll:

from:

(Remember the warning I gave above.)

This charming paper doll is from a greeting card set

of international dolls, by Current.

I really love Current cards, and this one is a great one!

Today, we visit Ireland!

I have also shared this greeting card before,

but it's been awhile, so I thought you might like the Irish one

for the upcoming St. Patrick's Day Fun!!

She would be great to make more costumes for!!

A humorous Irish Doll from Gayle Ferris:

Here's another vintage favorite of mine:

"Colleen of Ireland"

Finishing up today,

and on a personal note,

my etsy shops have seen some sales!!

YIPPEE!!!!

Not only have I been selling my recycled junk mail bottlecap magnets,

I also sold this pretty necklace:

It's a variation on a daisy chain that I came up with myself.

Beading is such a joy!

Here are a couple of other items I have made

that are still for sale:

"Fairy Bubbles" netted hand beaded necklace

a crochet-look ruffled bracelet with marble closure -

no metal!!

Lovin' the shameless advertising here!!

tee hee

I also sold a couple of my 

Collage Paper Painting fine art prints

from original paper collages,

using all recycled junk mail.

Whew, what a mouthful!

Nursery Rhyme "Baa, baa, black sheep"

With all the greens and the cottage and all,

it reminds me of Ireland.

Here is one I made, thinking of Ireland

and an old Irish Song -

"Let Me Glance at Dear Old Ireland Once Again"

vintage song

Well, that's it for today.

I really can't put off doing laundry any longer.

My 'craft corner' in the living room is getting to be like a

quickly reproducing amoeba or something!

Here is one of the prints I sold:

"Ocean Breezes"

That's the fun thing about selling prints -

I can make more and sell them,

so when I sell a print, I'm not 'out'!

Have a green day,
