The idea for this series came to me because I have always specialized as much in the accessories for my dolls as the dolls themselves. Inspired by history, I love the humbleness and simplicity of Early Americana. I wanted this series to embody those two ideals, and I wanted all of the pieces to be of the highest quality this scale permits.

It was to begin with a Basic Doll - a doll that was simple and affordable, but not plain and I wanted her appealing to the heart. Her construction is taken from many humble cloth dolls. She has a mohair wig, painted features and is stuffed with real wool. Her jointed arms and legs are weighted so she will sit well. She comes, and I like her best, in her camisole and pantalets, but then there is clothing to add and accessories as well. She even has her own doll (which comes with her in the kit). I have tried to make the kits as fool-proof as possible with silkscreened sewing lines, pre-measured stuffing amounts and stencils for face detail. The series then continues on with furniture, rugs, quilts and other accessories which would make her fun and fulfill the dream and for now ends with a Companion Doll who is purposely designed to represent an entirely different sort of doll in the way that children will allow all manner of dolls to play and live together humble or refined.

THE BASIC DOLL AND HER 3" DOLL

For prices see table below.

THE COMPANION DOLL (shown at right) - This doll is proportioned the same as the Basic Doll and clothes will be interchangeable (only bonnets need some adjusting due to difference of head styles), but the Companion Doll has a molded head, hands and feet cast in papier mache which are easily painted (stencil to help get the features right) and assembled. She too comes in her underwear - ribbon-trimmed camisole and pantalets.

GIFT SETS - Tucked inside a cloth covered and lined box is either the Basic Doll or the Companion Doll plus an outfit and book for each doll. Both sets, while different in all components, go nicely together. The Basic Doll Gift Set has an oval box; the Companion Doll Gift Set has a rectangular box.
