Remember the vintage Charlotte and Charlie dolls I had mentioned in a previous post? Thought you might like to see the collection I have hanging in Gracie’s room. Shadow boxes really come in handy when collecting vintage smalls. I have them everywhere displaying all the little vintage treasures I heart most. And check out the scrapbook paper I used in the back of the box. You’ve probably noticed, I heart paper too.
Hope this sparks ideas for you to add your own vintage touches to your little one’s nursery or bedroom. To learn more about the history of Charlotte & Charlie dolls, you can read my brief description in the Cowboy post or search more online.

Brilliant! I’ve never heard of Charlie/Charlotte dolls, but they are great! Love the scrapbook paper (Hobby Lobby?). Good stuff.

I have some of these little dolls, but I didn’t know they had a name and history…I just think they are cute and when I saw my sister inherited some from her MIL I started looking for some of my own. How did you attach them to the shadow box? with glue? It is a cute display.

Hey Tammy. Yes, glue gun (*cringe*). But it doesn’t seem to hurt the dolls, if you glue them in a place on their bodies where they are not painted. Would love to see your collection. Thanks for posting!
