Betsy McCall


Is this the cutest doll you've ever seen, or what?
Her name is Betsy McCall and she has been
preserved from my childhood (long long ago).
McCall's magazine had Betsy as a paper doll every
month. I think my doll was sent away for - not
ever available from stores. She sits in my glass
cabinet in her original adorable outfit. She's only
about 7 inches high.

I wonder how many people even remember McCall's magazine? Your doll is adorable. Did you play with her or was she a look and don't touch doll?

Nice goldfinch picture in your sidebar. I just noticed that ours are starting to yellow-up. A sure harbinger of Spring. I know it's really Spring, but you wouldn't know it from our weather.

She is cute! I remember McCall's. A long time ago. I loved paper dolls. Whole books of them and they would keep me entertained for hours. I wonder if they make them anymore.

You doll is the cutest. Looks brand new!
