Miffy's Family of Cute

Miffy (who we have previously written about!) and her family are extremely popular in Europe. This crocheted grouping is just one medium (they are in books, fabric, video... you name it!) for you to embrace them. I love the old fashioned treatment of Miffy and her family in this form, and wish there to be a crochet revival... the texture is so groovy. And so Hello There Cutie!!! xxxo

A Groovy Cutemaskah Cutie...

"Who is this groovy Cutemaskah Cutie?" you might asking... I don't know much 'cept that she's on a card from the early 60's, is wearing a great outfit, and has a wonderful little bird friend. And a dancing tree for all her Cutemaskah presents. xxxo

Santa's A Cutie

Santa is almost always a cutie, but when he's portrayed in such a groovy 70's way, instant cutie! Adore that he's waving to us (cus we're nice, not naughty?) and the multitude of patterns on both his outfit and background. Lastly, his big red nose (hot toddy Santa?) and big smile make us say Happy Cutemaskah Cutie Santa!!! xxxo

Groovy Cuties

If Doug and I were groovy cutie friends in the sixties, I think this would of been us! With their Keane-esque big eyes, guitars and hip clothes, these two cuties are just too of that era. I wonder who the painter "Lee" is tho... and why is the girl is a bit country and boy bit rock n roll? xxxo

Pink Is For Cute

"Pink Is For Girls"... adore it! This cutie in her pink lacquer barrel tub is happily chatting on her pink phone while covered in bubbles from her Lustre-Creme pink shampoo. A question: Why is her hair dry and in a perf updo with ribbons? I digress... adore the groovy giant pink bubbles and the Mad Men-esque copy (click to expand!) of "he'll notice we have a delightful pink fragrance." Hello there cutie retro ad! xxxo

Flatsy = Cutie

Flatsy's were flat dolls made by Ideal from the late 60s thru early 70s. They had floor length hair and wore "mod" clothes. Each Flatsy had a "theme" and came with an accessory, all removable from their framed environment hung on your wall. And did I forget to mention they were cute? xxxo

*yes, the top photo is keeping with my b-day month theme...

Kutie Kiddles

Kiddles Dolls had their heyday in the early 70s and are tiny--hence their charm and name! The Kiddles could be worn (Lucky Locket Kiddles) and even sniffed (Kola Kiddles and Kiddle Kolognes). Their oversized eyes gave them an innocent air, and groovy outfits made them extra cute. Hmmm... where might mine be? xxxo

Rock Flowers Are Rock n Roll Cute!

Rock Flowers Dolls are 6 ½” vinyl dolls that were produced by Mattel in the first half of the 70s to compete with the popular 7" Dawn dolls. Whereas Dawn and her friends were all top fashion models (in high fashion outfits), The Rock Flowers were “rockers” who exuded a more casual, funky quality. And came with records that they would twirl on. Hello there cutie dolls! xxxo

Blythe

In 1972, the Blythe doll was born... sadly, her oversized head and peepers were deemed too scary for children so Blythe's manufacturer pulled her (and her sisters) the shelves, preventing many young girls from meeting her. Nowadays, a new generation of Blythe dolls can be found everywhere from Bendel's (where they do a special holiday edition) to hipster toy shops like Kid Robot. Why? Cus she's so cute! xxxo
