Good things to come..............for those who have been waiting!!

As you can see, not much new on my site for a while.
But...............................soon there will be some dolls to look at again.
I have had to take some time to take care of some skin cancer treatments (now finished) and it made it impossible for me to be in my studio and around dust, old fabrics and sawdust.
I am good to get back to work now and my studio has all been painted and remodelled while I was told to keep out of the dust.
Not to sit with idle hands, I have been hand sewing in the house and now have a bunch of Izannah dresses finished for some future Izannahs.................17 to be exact!
If you would like some photos of them or have questions as to what dolls are to be finished and available next, just email me.  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Thanks for your patience and kind emails.

She is about 19" tall and looking for a home.

If you should prefer a different dress on this doll, I have several made up and the dress can be changed or I do sell additional dresses for my Izannah Walker reproductions.
Remember to click on any photo "twice" to get a good close up!

A new wooden doll.........Hattie

She is not a Queen Anne but she is a hand carved wooden doll with antique glass eyes.  She is 22" tall and here name is Hattie.  A perfect name for her and chosen by young lady that has a talent for picking just the right name for a doll.

She is a hard doll to get a photo of with out some flash on her face but she really does not have a shine to her at all.   I did my best!

This is a doll that I have wanted to do for a very long time and I hope you enjoy seeing her all finished.
