Love the 'foreign costume' doll.

Looking at your photos makes me wish I could see some on my shelves. I am a devil for old board games and jigsaw puzzles, seduced by that retro packaging.My husband collects all things Eagle comics, especially Dan Dare. We must be true children of the 50's (him and I , not you I hasten to add) I love the look of that circus book... enjoy your toys. Rearranging them will make them seem all new to you again.
