Who Remembers Kewpie Dolls?

Why I dreamt of Kewpie Dolls on sticks last night I will never know. But remember these little gems!

They are so kitsch yet so sweet. Vintage sweet. How I would love to have an old fashioned fair style event with kewpie dolls, fairy floss, free show bags (yes, they used to be free) and bobbing apples.

No electronic gadgets which start with 'i' (ipod, ipad, iphone) but just good old fashioned fun.
