The Vintage Toy Chest: Pretty Little Paper Dolls

Forgotten Memories

Close your eyes and step into an attic,

In the far corner you see a faded wooden box

with items stacked upon it.

You work your way to it and clear away years of rubble stacked on top,You run your hands over the aged wooden box, and you can tell it was once painted Bright colors that

are now faded with age,

This box placed there by Loving hands so long ago,for safe keeping has long been forgotten.

You lift the lid slowly to look inside,A handmade rag doll,With button eyes and red yarn hair lies waiting

for a child long since grown,

You gently lift the doll out and start to look through the well loved toys that fill the box,

You can tell each toy was special and had been handmade with love and care,from the cloth and yarn dolls to the wooden blocks,train and well loved hobbie horse.

This box contained the memories of a childhood,Once filled with laughter, love and joy, and you can almost see a child as they smile while playing with the toys.....

With the collection of patterns and plans you will find here,

I hope you can make your own memories filled

with laughter,love and joy

That too one day will be found as a treasure.
