The royal couple will soon have their own paper dolls. Yes, Amazon.com has this specialty set available early next week. Who doesn't remember those early years and safety scissors spent at the dining room table while cutting away? According to research, the first commercial paper dolls were created in London in 1810. One of the most sought after paper doll collection are those of Queen Victoria which were created in mid-1800's.
How refreshing to see a simpler life. And the creator of these paper dolls is evidently a career paper doll producer since his collection includes a 20 plus year history available at that great American marketplace http://www.amazon.com/William-Kate-Paper-Dolls-Commemorate/dp/0486483789%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJ55PMGYR2QUHVXRA%26tag%3Dgaswarehouse-21%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0486483789
In a world filled with technology and wizardry it is refreshing to see a simple two-dimension memento. Can't wait to try and cut the feathers on the hat and hope the set qualifies for free super-saver shipping!
