Dette er mine gamle papirdukker. De er veldig slitt, jeg elsket å leke med papirdukker. Senere har mine nieser også lekt med dem, så de er nesten utslitt og mangler noen armer og ben! Den beste gaven jeg kunne få var et ark med papirdukker til å klippe  ut.  Jeg hadde 16 slike papirdukker.  Her er et bilde av "storfamilien". Jeg hadde også omtrent like mange klippet ut fra ukebladene, da ble de først limt opp på papp og så klippet ut.

This is my old paper dolls. They are almost worn out, I loved playing with paper dolls. Later my nieces also played with them  so they are very worn and missing some arms and legs! The best gift I could get was paper dolls to cut out.  I had 16 such paper dolls. Here is a picture of the big family. I also had almost the same numbers of paper dolls cut out from magazines, they were first glued to thicker paper and then cut out.

Denne dukken heter Sjalus. Fint navn? Han er oppkalt etter prins Charles. Det var slik jeg som 5 åring oppfattet og skrev Charles !
This doll's name is Sjalus. Nice name? He got his name from prince Charles. This was how I as a 5 year old  heard and wrote  Charles!







Her er det flere av papir dukkene mine.
Here is more of my paper dolls. 

Dukkene Anne Marit og Lollosita / My dolls Anne Marit and Lollosita

Annedokka mi, Anne Marit, er her ny og fin. Legg også merke til den fine stolen hun sitter i.
My doll Anne Marit is here new and beautiful. Also notice the nice little chair.

Men mange års  kjærlig og ivrig  lek setter sine spor, jeg mener at den ikke var så sliten da jeg slutta å leke med den. Jeg var en forsiktig og omtenksom dukkemor, men den har nok også blitt lekt med av neste generasjon, mine barn og mine tantebarn. Klærne var det også veldig lite igjen av.

But many years loving playing makes lasting impressions, I can't remember she was that worn out when I stopped playing with her. I was a very caring and careful doll mother, but later my children and my nieces also played with her. The doll clothes there was also very little left of.

Den andre dokka mi var en sydlansk skjønnhet som het Lollosita og kom helt fra Las Palmas. Husk at dette var lenge før det var vanlig å dra på sydenturer, så hun var eksotisk. Faren min var sjømann og denne dokka ble kjøpt da hvalfangstbåten Thorshammer var på hjemvei fra hvalfangstsesongen i Sydishavet.  Den kunne gå når man skjøv den forover med en spesiell teknikk, og snudde samtidig  hodet  fram og tilbake til hver side.  Jeg har ikke noe bilde av henne fra hennes vakre ungdomsdager. Originalkjolen er utslitt for lenge siden og den kjolen hun har på nå har vært min kjole da jeg var baby.
My other doll was a southern beauty named Lollosita and came all the way from Las Palmas. This was long before it was common to go on vacation to the southern countries so she was very exotic. My father was a sailor and this doll was bought when the whalingship Thorshammer was on its way home after the whaling season in the Antarctic ocean was over. She could walk when you pushed her forward with a special technique, and she also turned her head from one side to another. I don't have any photo of her from when she was young and beautiful. Her original  dress is worn out long time ago and the dress she is wearing now was my dress when I was a baby.
