my travel kit, revamped and mail art

 I'm taking a brief trip, so revamped my travel kit to only a few items, and the pre-stamped, pre-addressed postcard blanks. Hopefully, I'll find fun scraps to use for the design.
 Tiny Town had some visitors actually step into the street. The residents were fearful that this little girl might not mind her feet.
 This Irish dancer was quite careful and mindful, so the residents enjoyed the dance.
This page is from a 1965 McCall's magazine. The girl scout outfit is the same one I wore, several years earlier I must admit in the name of honest disclosure. I always liked paper dolls and would even make my own.  Did you ever make them?
