19 1/2" Izannah Walker doll finished and SOLD...............

I have finally made another Izannah Walker doll.  It has been a long time since I made one.  The English Wooden dolls that I love to make have been consuming my days, nights, and weekends!
I will have photos on here a bit later for you to see.  If you just can't wait, let me know and I will send you some quick preview photos of her.  She is so sweet and has soft ringlets across the back of her head and one on each side in front of her ears.
If you would like more info just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Have a great day!
SOLD












Ohhhhhhhh, Kathy!!!

I received her just now. I just got home from work, and my husband had the box in 'my chair'. I could hardly wait to get into the box. My dear, you are such a wonderful talented artist! SHE'S ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I DO LOVE HER!!! I haven't completely undressed her, but I have peeked at her all the way down under all the layers. You have done such an outstanding job. Words are not enough to express how lovely she is, and how high quality your work is. Oh, I can hardly take my eyes off of her. I love her complexion. Her coloring is exquisite, and the finish almost has a quality of being bisque. And her eyes!!! And her pert little lips!!! Your painting technique is beyond compare. I am so, so happy to have her in my collection. Oh, and I haven't commented on her clothing....OUTSTANDING! Your sewing skills are impeccable. The fabric of her dress is absolutely perfect! And I love the faded quality of it. You were right about how it looked different than the photos. The turkey red has more rose in it than the photos showed.

Would it be ill-advised for me to take her to bed with me tonight? LOL... Her doll sisters are going to be so jealous!

THANK YOU! If you were here right now, I'd give you the biggest hug. (hope that doesn't creep you out...I'm just so thrilled!)

I'm your biggest fan! Although, I know anyone who has ever bought one of your dolls, must feel the same way.

Keep in touch with me. I'll be following your website, but I'd love to still get emails from you. By the way, love your card with the girl that is the same as on your website. I assume your own creation....adorable!

24" Lady Charlotte, Hand Carved Wooden Queen Anne Doll .......................SOLD

I have been working steadily on Lady Elizabeth's sister, Lady Charlotte.
She is 24" tall and fully jointed.  Her clothing is all hand made by me from antique fabrics and all of her clothing is removable.  I am just in the stage of dressing her but thought I would share some photos of her.  Her face is so much nicer than these photos and her patina is wonderful.  Hope you enjoy these few photos of her so far.  If you would like more photos or have questions just email me  babesfromthewoods@gmail.com    SOLD

Enjoy!

12" Lizzy, hand carved Queen Anne doll .......................................SOLD

This is 12" Lizzy. She is hand carved from Basswood that grows here on our property. 
She is back from a long journey and is ready for spring and picking wildflowers in a meadow.  She is now SOLD.  If you are interested in her just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Lizzy is so sweet and has that typical egg shaped Queen Anne head with glass eyes like the wooden dolls of the later part of the 1700's.  She is dressed in early Jacobean print cotton and of course has her little handmade silk slippers made just for her, by me!

11 1/2" English Wooden Queen Anne~~Margie...............SOLD

SOLD

Here is the first doll for 2012!  She was actually started late last year but she got set aside during the holiday festivities.  In between working on some other dolls here I thought I should get her finished some photos on here for you to see.
Meet Margie.  She is 11 1/2" tall and fully dressed in antique silks and has an antique metallic stomacher.  She loves her flat silk hat that matches her dress and her handbag.  She has wonderful tiny silk shoes to match her gown.
Margie has antique black pupiless eyes and a very sweet face with just the perfect amount of aging to her face and the patina is so much nicer than in these photos.  Click on any photo to make it larger.
She is all finished and looking for a home.
If you would like more photos or have questions, just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Thanks for looking and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I must share the email that I just received from Margie's new owner:

I have a new favorite doll!!! Margie arrived today and I love her. She is such a great size and I love her proportions. I actually love everything about her……the clothes are wonderful. She has such a nice color combination and because the fabric is not patterned the trim and bodice look so nice. Her hat and handbag and shoes…..what can I say….it is love. I also really love her dark eyes and sweet expression. Thank you Kathy for another wonderful doll, maybe the “wonderfulest” (as my grandson Gabe used to say) one yet. I am really, really happy with her.
