Millie, the 17" English Queen Anne doll in her underpinnings!.....................SOLD

This lovely young lady is all finished and looking for a home.  Her name is Millie.  Her patina is really wonderful in person.  She is fully jointed and hand carved from basswood, just as the old ones like her from the late 1700's were.  She has delicate carved forked hands as well.  Her eyes are antique glass black pupiless eyes.
She is 17" tall and wearing her totally hand stitched underpinnings.  She has a fabulous hand quilted petticoat with matching hand stitched corset and pocket to match as well.  All clothing is removable  and hand made by me from some wonderful early antique fine linen.
She has tiny silk shoes as well.  If you like to sew, you could make her a whole wardrobe but I love her in just her undies!
She is finished and available.  If you have questions or would like more photos just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

English Queen Anne Wooden doll..........only 9" tall.......SOLD

I must share with you this little 9" English Queen Anne Wooden Doll that I have just finished.
She is so petite and delicate.  Her gown is hand stitched and made from a wonderful early piece of antique cotton that I had here tucked away.
This is the smallest of this type of doll that I have made.  She is darling and so much nicer than the photos.  To me she looks like a young girl of about 12-14 years old.
Enjoy!
She is now SOLD. If you have questions or would like more photos just email me: toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

A Trousseau fit for a "Queen Anne"........................I have just added some more photos, do scroll down and take a look!

Sometime soon, I hope, there will be a large wooden Queen Anne doll available that will be so excited to wear all of these pieces that I have made for her......plus some more.  I have been working on this trousseau for quite some time now and I also found the perfect antique wooden box to display all the clothing and eventually the doll in as well. 
I thought it was time that I share with you some of the things I have been making here in preparation of a 24-25" fully jointed wooden Queen Anne doll being finished.  She will have glass eyes and be of the era of about 1725.
We are getting out lives back in order here after the massive fire that we suffered in November and soon I can be working on wooden dolls again........
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I have enjoyed all the tedious work that has gone into reproducing these pieces. 
Note the matching hand quilted petticoat, corset and pair of pockets.....Love, love, love them!  
And the shoes.........it is all about the accessories as you know!
Everything you see here is all hand stitched and made by me from fabulous antique fabrics that I have been waiting to use on a very special doll.
If you would like more photos, or have questions, just email me:  toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Enjoy!

Below you will see her 2 piece very early embroidered silk panelled skirt and petal bottom bodice with 3/4 sleeves. 

Both are lined with early brown glazed cotton lining and all hand stitched........my fingers are raw!

 Stomacher with wonderful patina and all hand stitched.......

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!
Kathy

Meet 22" Myrtle..........................SOLD

Her Friend Maud is SOLD.
It set out as a personal challenge for me to try making these Early American Cloth dolls.  Now I can say that I did it.  My heart is in carving Queen Anne dolls and making Izannah Walker dolls and that is what I shall do!
Enjoy!

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.

I hope you enjoyed seeing Maud.

She truly is charming and so much nicer in person than in these photos!
