I bought this at our local flea market several years ago and was just flummoxed.
Looking at it, a multitude of questions popped into my head:
- What is it?
- Who’s the blond? A different princess? Is this an untold chapter of Cinderella’s life?
- Where did the figures come from?
- Were the 7 dwarf’s bought with purple noses?
- How do you spell the plural possessive of dwarf?
- What was the person who made it thinking?
- How much work went into it?
- What does something like this cost?
Sold!
Did the creator use those fancy pattern cutting scissors on the tape, or did the tape come that way?
Why is the back a mirror?
.The figures are really glued down well.
Was it a school project? How old is it?
So many questions I’ll never know the answers to, but one thing I do know, this is absolutely the oddest piece of my collection.
Just proves, you never know what you will find at flea markets or garage sales!

ReplyDeleteThat definitely looks homemade, maybe from figurines that were part of a cake decorating kit?
ReplyDeleteThe name of the scissors is pinking shears . . .
For a dollar and a blog - worth it!
Love this actually. As Gaylin stated, the tape was probably cut with pinking shears, very popular in the early to late 50's. I would suggest it was something to do with cake decorating as well. I would definitely have paid $1 for something like this. Now, to get some history and find out what this is actually. Thanks for sharing.
