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,

Autumn's jewelry box with quotes

The leaves are turning shades of
golden, rust, burgundy, and purple...

As Autumn approaches
we put away our summer clothing
and
unpack for cooler temperatures.

We start to wear different colors
that match the season.

Here are a few Autumn jewelry choices,
taken from my treasury:
