I must share the lovely email I just received.

Dear Kathy, I just can't get over her! - she is even more wonderful than I expected…..Her wooden face and body is such 

a beautiful color and her hands are exquisitely delicate…..I really love her so much, and hope that I can order a few 

little sisters for her or even a large QAD sometime….I have been drooling over the gorgeous ones you made before your

awful fire….They look so medieval to me……and just breathtaking….But for now, this little dear one is a great joy and is

sitting on the mantle with a few old pincushions for company……Thank you so very much, Kathy, you are just a special

doll maker!

Sliver Sisters in the works!

I just thought I would share some photos of what I have been working on.  Yes you see right, 6 Sliver Sisters.  I has been a lot of work to get them all to this point, as you see one still has no bonnet but that can be my afternoon job!
Notice their tiny carved hands.  Those took days.  The faces just make me smile so I though you would enjoy seeing them so far too.
If you are interested in any particular face just email me and I can let you know how she will be dressed or you can choose.  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Smile!

 

20" Izannah Walker Doll....................SOLD

With much hesitation I have decided to put this 20" Izannah Walker doll on my site for sale.  I was sure I could not part with her but I will.  She has bare feet with little stitched toes and is wearing little handmade socks and shoes that I made just for her.  Her undergarments are nothing short of wonderful and are all hand stitched and made from a very early antique baby gown from the UK.  Her dress is made from some amazing antique 1860's calico that I had been saving for a special doll.  She also has a handmade straw bonnet with matching fabric.  She has 5 loose soft ringlets across the back of her neck and swooped hair on the sided of her head.  You really can see the strands of her hair and it is amazing but hard to get photos of.  I cannot tell you how much nicer this doll is in person..............another reason I thought she might just live with me! 
She is SOLD and if you have questions or would like more photos just email me: toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Thanks for looking!

21" Maud, an Early American Cloth Doll................SOLD

This is Maud, she is Sadie's sister and measures 21".  Maud's head is so charming and worn looking and she has a sweetness about her. 
She is all dressed in early antique faded calico from the 1850's.  She is tattered and aged could fool anyone walking into a room and seeing her perched in an antique chair.  Her antique leather arms are nothing short of fabulous!  These dolls are so charming and interesting to me.  I just had to try to make a couple.  Sadie was snapped up in minutes so if you have any interest in Maud just email me and I can send you some more photos if you like.
She is now SOLD.

My First 19" Bare Foot Izannah Walker Doll ................SOLD

This is a first for me, a bare foot Izannah Walker doll completed and she is Fabulous if I do say so myself!
She has wonderful matching 3pc undergarments just like old Izannahs and little socks!  Her dress is made from some very early rare calico in shades of madder, cream and mauve.  I made her a pinafore apron with trim.  Just to make her special she also has a straw bonnet trimmed in companion faded fabric to match her dress.  She has 5 soft ringlets across the back of her neck and a ringlet on either side of her face.  Lots of fine painting in this hair style!  She is special! 
She has darling little shoes that I made just for her that very closely resemble the old early shoes of her time.
She is so much nicer in person than these photos.  Her dress is not nearly as bright as it looks here.  The fabric is fabulous and early.
