Just flip the doll over and another can be seen. The dolls have their origin in the southern mountains and are beautiful examples of the Carolinas mountain crafts. The design of the dolls came about as an economical measure for the Appalachian Mountain children. Many residents ot tne mountains did not have money to buy their children fancy toys and dolls at Christmastime. They saved their scraps and since there were usually not enough scraps of the same pattern to make one doll, the mothers lovingly designed a two-in-one doll which they called upside-down upside-down dolls. The dolls are more popular today than ever before. The three dolls for the Blue Crystals fundraiser were handmade by the director, Florence Adams, who is also a doll collector and over the years she has made a number of upside-down dolls. The dolls for the fundraiser will be Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat. Where Have You Been?, Old Mother Hubbard, and Little Bo Peep: The drawing will be held on Saturday, May 7, in Orem at 4 p.m. The Blue Crystals will be performing per-forming that same day at K-Mart at 12:30 p.m. If there are any questions, contact Mrs. Adams at 785-1013. |
