Sorry I have been a bit quiet on here recently. Blame an exciting new job I started a couple of weeks ago. And blame the weather, which is so drab and uninspiring. Last year I had an Easter tea party, sat out in the garden drinking Pimms with my friends, in our short shorts and summer dresses. This Easter we spent peering out of the window at snow falling wetly down. Hurry up spring!

Anyhow, isn’t this cute? It’s the artwork on one of the children’s clothing patterns just launched by Oliver + S. The clothing patterns themselves are lovely, and I love love love the paper dolls they have on the packets.

   I adored paper dolls as a kid! I had books of them - the ones where you get one cardboard doll and pages of clothes to cut out and put on her. I thought they were the most amazing thing ever, even though it bugged me that she was always naked (well, in her underwear) from the back.

   Aw, really cute. Once, as a child, I remember spending the whole of one wet Saturday cutting out paper doll clothes. The University Boat Race was on TV - which means Spring - but the weather was about as springlike as this year, so far. Funny what stays in one’s mind, out of all the possible memories, and how they can be stirred by seeing something like this doll picture. She has such an old-fashioned look. I wonder if it would work if she looked contemporary?
