etsy pick o da week!

This week's pick is one that elicits a feeling of nostalgia. Not exactly for my own childhood era, but that of my mother. My grandmother had a big house on a hill, the whole side covered in ivy, in a small town in Tennessee. But the best part was her attic. She had all sorts of treasures hidden up there and my sisters and I would always look forward to visiting her and spending our afternoons up there sorting through our mom and uncle's old toys. At the time, I was a HUGE Shirley Temple fan, so when I found my mom's old Shirley Temple paper dolls, I was thrilled!! Yes, paper dolls! Remember those?! Haven't seen another in years...until today!

SHARLZNDOLLZ has brought back the simple pleasure of putting together your own paper friend with her ethereal dolls made of beautifully decorated paper. She offers some cloth dolls, which she calls "softies", and bags, as well. Check out her hero male collection, too, which strangely resembles the Backstreet Boys. Who knew they were actually heroes??
