glenda's World : Old Printable s the Madeline's Treasures Series

This series of graphics is old paper dolls and valentines.

Many years ago, a very dear friend was moving into a smaller home. She was and had been an avid collector of antiques for years.

I was helping her pack all the many

collectibles as she was selling them at an auction house

She tossed me a paper bag and asked, " do you play with paper dolls"...."take these".

Shortly after that I found myself moving so the paper bag was placed with my keepsakes and boxed.

Last year I was going through the boxes and ran across the paper bag. This series will be the treasures that were in the paper bag.

I hope you enjoy them with the realization they are from news papers and cereal boxes from the 1930's

This cute little Valentine, I call Gladys.
on the back it reads To Ruth From Gladys

This cute little guy I call Petie, once again a graphic that
reminds me of those Little Rascals

This is Sweet Bear, he has an arm missing but
that just intensifies my love for him

Best Wishes in Yellow

The Virginia Valentine

I call this cute little valentine Sweet Remembrance
There's just something so appealing about
the colors and characters of the
really old graphics

This handsome little paper doll only had this
cute little Robin Hood shirt with him.
He's my favorite of the paper dolls. I loved the Little Rascals
and he reminds me of those timeless shows.

This is Cutie Pie Patricia

This little valentine I'm calling LaCarte

This little Elephant was probably cut from
a cereal box.....isn't he adorable....it's Ruth's Elephant.

I can vision myself playing with this little Elephant and pretending

I was playing circus.

This pretty lady with her horn of plenty filled with hearts and roses, I'm going to call her Madeline.
She is a colorful valentine.
I've given her some different looks for your use.
