Day 9 of the Summer of Martie.

Man, is it hot outside today. And, just as the sun went down, the thunderstorms rolled in. So what was left to do but lie about and read? Martie and I got our copy of Doll News from the UFDC and settled in to look at the lovely photography and articles.

These two pages are from the article "To Play Amongst Lovely Things: Children and Dolls Captured on Canvas," by Janet Gula, with examples back to the 16th Century. Excellent issue, I recommend getting it if you can. Doll News is the main (but not only) reason I have a UFDC membership.
