I guess I have had my Grammie on my mind lately, and with all the quilting magazines I have...got me remembering how I used to love playing with the Betsy McCall paper dolls that Grammie used to save me in her McCall's magazines. Now, here I am grown up and buying McCall's Quilting magazines.
Do any of you out there remember the paper dolls, and having fun spending lots of hours playing with them also?
Happy Quilting!!

Yes a friend of my mom's saved them for me to play with.

My mom use to buy the magazine every August - that is when I had my yearly permanent for the school year. Betsy kept me entertained as my mom rolled those stinky rods!

Paper dolls was one of my favorite things to play with.

Oh, I loved Betsy McCall. My mom subscribed in the '50's and my sisters and I always got the doll out right away.

What a cool site! If only I had known these were here when my granddaughters were younger.

Oh my goodness, I used to get the perms too lol. Did you ever get the rag curls?? My mom would bring me to my aunt's and they would do them together. I remember being miserable having to sit there so long. Oh what memories!!

I remember paper dolls. didn't play with them much though.

I played with paper dolls all the time!

Yes, I remember playing with betsy McCall paper dolls. Couldn't wait for my mother to get the magazine each month.
