A lovely little new Old Pretender

If someone is looking for a little lady full of personality, wonderful to hold, and identical to a very rare and small antique English wooden from around 1740 this is the little lady for you!
She is all of 10 inches tall and full of personality. She is even a bit of a Ragamuffin as well which we always love.
Thank you Lois for the lovely fabric yet again!

17th Century Elegance, Our New William and Mary Period English Wooden

I am so pleased with my newest William and Mary Period English wooden.
She is 15 inches tall and identical in every way to the antique dolls of the period dating from the 1680's.

Her dress fabric is just wonderful and so rare and dates from 1620 / 1640. It is 16th century dress fabric and wouldn't it be wonderful to know who wore the dress that was made of this early fabric. I am so happy to be able to preserve it for many more years of this doll.
It is so strong and has the most amazing ability to change colours in different lights and outside as well.
She is for sure one of my all time favourties.

SPOOT and FRAZZLE

Introducing Spoot and Frazzle, our newest and most adorable Ragamuffins! 

I am really pleased with these two siblings!

Spoot has this quiet, kind of sweet or its a "I didn't do it" mischievous look on his face. Of course Frazzle, his sister, well her name says it all! Just look at that face!

She is just plain manic, probably due to her "innocent" looking Brother!

Paul says Frazzle keeps seeing bears everywhere and Spoot is no help!...."IS THAT A BEAR? No Frazzle, its a kitty.....IS THAT A BEAR....No Frazzle, its a rock.....and so on....Spoot has a bear mask as well so figure that one out....Paul is writing a little story about these two and their antics and actually I think and so do several of our friends who have seen them, that they could easily be the charming  protagonists of a children's book....

Again, thanks to our dear friend Lois for the wonderful fabrics for our little Ragamuffins or Tatterdemalions as she loves to call them.

Hope everyone enjoys the photos.

A lovely new Old Pretender

Thank you to our dear friend Lois for the lovely fabric!

A new and very fine Old Pretender

Hello everyone.....Here is one of our newest and finest English woodens. She is a reproduction I made of a antique dating from 1740's. I rarely dress a doll in a court dress like this as they are so time consuming and labour intensive to make but this doll was so lovely and just the perfect candidate for a wonderful and wide court dress. Her dress fabric is also from the 1740's.
