All God’s Children

Welcome!
All kaleidoscopes by inkspired using the KaleidoCam app.

I have always loved folk costumes from around the world.
I love to learn about different countries,
with their unique cultures, languages,
crafts, food and so much more.



I thought today I would share some of my favorite 
people photos from around the world.

India

Oh, and let me mention that children
are absolutely the best representatives of their
individual countries.
With a child, pretty much what you see is
The Real Deal!

from people, or from culture,

Different hopes, 
Different dreams.”

International Paper Doll Bonanza

Hello to all!
vintage magazine art

Today I have a splitting migraine, day 3.
ouch.
I thought you might enjoy some international paper dolls
whilst I try to either bang my head into unconsciousness,
or take enough drugs to pass out.
ick.

I have been gone for a week however, and really wanted to get back into the swing of things with my blog.

No fancy colors today - sorry. Not up to reading for quotes either, so let's get ON WITH THE PAPER DOLLS!!!

These colorful paper dolls are from Ukraine:
(thanks to a reader for correcting me on where these are from!!)

:0)










I love all the texture, layering and colors in them!

Now let's have three vintage paper dolls from Finland...

Tomorrow will be a better day!
