My first glimpse of an early wooden doll nearly
took my breath away..
There was just something about her that touched
my very soul...
Her worn face, her black glass eyes, the sparse sprigs of her hair still there beneath the old stiffened lace bonnet...
There was a sweetness and wisdom about her faded
and worn little face....
that spoke to my heart.

~~~
a pleasant walk down into the old orchard on Deerfield Farm will find me working on new dollies here under the old apple tree...
I have several little ladyes that will be wanting new homes soon.
Please don't hesitate to email me anytime and ask
whose little petticoat or bonnet
is being stitched
and what might be in the sewing basket by my chair~
Thank you my friends~
