Hi everyone,
Fortunately for all of us, Sissy sent me some REALLY fun pictures and a fantastic story to go with them! I’m still not up to being in my sewing room just yet, but maybe 10% better. You’re going to LOVE THIS much more than another question!! :o)
Sissy sent this email to go along with her pictures!! ENJOY!!
Jeanne, these paper dolls were painted of my mother and me and our actual clothes by a mother and daughter who were artists. They were my Grandmother’s and my Mom’s friends.
The first page shows pictures of my mom as a child and her clothes. The Artist did this when mom was little as a gift for my Grandmother. Then, when I
was 7 years old, the artist’s daughter, who had made several water color pictures of me as I grew, thought it would be fun to make paper dolls of me and my clothes as her mother had done for my mom. These paper dolls were actually cut out and played with but my mom saved them in one of her books.
I made these pages of them and gave the dolls and clothes to a place to be framed. Unfortunately, the store lost them, so I am so glad I had taken these photos of them. I wish I could remember the names of those two sweet ladies.
Hope you are feeling better!
hugs,
Sissy
Thank you Sussy,
This was SO much fun for us to see!! Thank you for sharing this precious family treasure! I don’t know anyone else who has their own personalized paper dolls!
Blessings, Jeanne
