Hmm. I’ve never thought of Japan as quaint. I know they don’t think of themselves that way. Also, I don’t like the colors they recommend.
Ardis, I’m confused. Is she “Summer,” “Fall,” “Winter,” or “Spring”? … 🙂
Give me a minute to dust off my swatches …
Interesting that the Children’s Friend would include a teakettle in the mix…
Awesome, another paper doll! This one probably would have intimidated me, even with the specific instructions for colors.
I had to look up quaint in the dictionary. Still not sure what they meant with it.
I have a faint memory of one of my grandmothers using the word quaint to mean picturesque, and the dictionary supports that usage. Wasn’t the Japanese mission closed by the 1930s? So the American idea of Japan would be coming from sources like National Geographic, which tends to emphasize the picturesque?
