15 1/2" Justine, an English Wooden Queen Anne Doll...............................SOLD

Meet Justine.  She is fully jointed and hand carved by me.  Her eyes are antique black glass pupiless eyes.  She is wearing a fabulous full antique silk gown with embroidery in shades blue/greens and gold and wonderful tarnished metallic threads.  Justine's shoes are silk and have silk bows and tarnished antique buckles.  She has a mischievous little smirk that is so endearing!  She is very dainty and looks like a young lady of the mid 1700's.  Her patina is amazing.  Justine is so much more lovely in person.
I hope you enjoy seeing her.  If you would like more photos or have questions just email me: toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

Justine arrived at her new home in Australia today.

I must share the lovely email that I just received:

 

Kathy, there was great excitement when I went to the PO late yesterday afternoon. There was a special delivery awaiting collection.  Hmmmm i wondered... what it could be??? I couldn’t remember ordering anything,, and I certainly didn’t expect it to be from you, not this quick! But... then I spotted your signature doll sticker and I let out a tiny squeal.. ohhhhh what a wonderful surprise!!!

It was all a bit of a mad rush to get home and unpack my dear little Justine, before heading down to Melbourne, for a family dinner. It was a combined b’day dinner for my eldest son’s girlfriend, as well as a farewell dinner for my daughter, Jade who came home for Christmas and is jetting back to London UK, on Saturday.
OMG I don’t know anyone who wraps better than you!! Layer upon layer of bubble wrap, not to mention all the sticky tape LOL!! Believe me, I'm glad you do!!!
I finally released her from her bubble wrap, ever so carefully... and there she was, my sweet little Justine... beautiful beyond words!! Oh Kathy, you’re so right, she is so much nicer in person, quite unbelievable really!!! She has the sweetest angelic face, and I love her wispy hair peaking from her little lacy cap. Her eyes are captivating, they really draw you in.. it’s quite mesmerising, and I love her delicate silky hands.. I can’t stop stroking them, they feel so soft and smooth. I am in awe of you beautiful craftsmanship, how do you do it??!! I would love to spend a day with you in your studio, just to sit and watch you work.. what a treat that would be!
Kathy, Justine’s outfit is divine, the antique silk is exquisite.. I've never seen anything like it!!! The petticoat is adorable.. the attention to detail is mind boggling!! All the teeny tiny stitches... and oh my, that adorable little pocket.. and her delightful shoes.. I'm in awe!!! You’re amazing!!!
Words cannot describe how happy and grateful I am to be the lucky owner of one of your amazing Queen Anne dolls... my very own QA Justine, she’s a little treasure and I LOVE her so much!!
I can’t wait to introduce her to the Sliver sisters, and the Izannah sisters.. I'm sure they’ll love her too!!

 Thank you....

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
