Please Get Off My Stool -Postcard Friendship Friday #242

I apologize for the lateness of my post today.  I have had computer problems all morning long.  Thank goodness, I finally was able to take care of all that and finally post Postcard Friendship Friday!  Thank you for your patience.

Here is one of my favorites--she sure looks like a Kewpie Doll.  I adore Kewpie Dolls.  I was given a lovely little Kewpie doll from the distant past, likely one of the very first, as she is made of bisque with moving arms.

Have a lovely day, dear friends.  Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Fun and Sun - Postcard Friendship Friday #105

I have a special spot in my heart for Kewpie dolls.  My darling Sissy Clytie has been going through some boxes of cards saved by our sweet little Grammie.  Sissy happened to come upon some postcards she thought I would like.

I lived with my Grandmother for several years before I met my husband.  Grammie and I were best friends--this card is one of those I'd given her.  Our grandmother loved little dolls, especially Kewpies.

In light of the weather here in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, I am celebrating the idea of sunshine, spring and warmer weather.  It has been grey for WAY too long!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Kewpie Doll and Friends -Postcard Friendship Friday

I love this postcard! It is a part of my cyber card and postcard collection. I love black cats. This little girl reminds me of the old Kewpie dolls.

When I was young I did a lot of house sitting for old Mrs. Hood. She lived in a wonderful old two story house, and was one of the first women to settle in our area back in the "olden times." Oh, the stories she would tell. She often gave my sister and I trinkets and odds and ends she thought we would like.

This is a Kewpie Doll she gave to me. This little hand painted doll is probably over 100 years old. She is made of a bisque-like material and her arms move. She is so old she has a crack down one side and a hairline fracture along the back of one arm.

The story I heard is the doll was bought from a peddler wagon which used to come through town. It is probably one of the very first Kewpie dolls ever made. I have never seen another like it in my research.

Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
