A Blast from the Past




How many of us had paper dolls?
I loved them as a little girl and
I still have some today though
I don't play with them. My Mom 
subscribed to McCall's
magazine and I couldn't wait for 
each month's new magazine.
In this particular installment
Betsy appears with her cousin
Barbara McCall. 
Betsy McCall appeared as a paper
doll in May 1951, she was said to 
be "five going on six, living in a
white house with a porch and a 
yard to play in." In Betsy's debut,
"Nosy" her six month old
Dachshund is seen with her.
So fun!
Do you remember Betsy?

  1. I can't say I remember Betsy, but oh I LOVED paperdolls! My cousin and I used to play with ours for hours at a time. Just cutting them out was fun, snipping away and chatting with one another. Calming, peaceful, quietly at play.

    1. They were a way to pass the time.
      Though the cutting out part drove
      me nuts though.

  2. I do not remember those in particular, but I also loved paper dolls!!! When my daughters were little, I found paper doll fabric, what fun we had with that.

    1. Those were the days, waiting for Mom to
      finish the magazine so I could tear out the Betsy McCall pg.

  4. I don't remember Betsy, but I loved playing with paperdolls. I remember one summer my friends and I created wardrobes for our paperdolls from the comics, wrapping paper, etc. Great memories1
