INDIVIDUAL SMALL ACCESSORIES

Everything is about 1" tall except the spoolrack, slate, peg wooden and printed cat which are under 2".

DOLL'S SEWIES FOR ACCESSORIES: These items come as a very sweet and fun kit for small dolls or items can be ordered finished. Early American ladies spent much time on their needlework which was often kept in their pockets (a pouch that hung from their waists). This is basically a set of miniature working brass scissors with a complementary set of patterns for a tiny scissors case, flat tomato pincushion and a strawberry emery. All items are well under an inch and easy to make from your silk (or cotton) scraps. They are nice to hang from doll's apron waist on a silk ribbon.

IZANNAH'S OWN STORY - A DOLL SIZE BOOK TO HOLD

There is too much information for a doll tag about Izannah Walker and her remarkable dolls so I made a little hard bound book of this history in a size just right for most Izannah dolls (10" and up) to hold. Book size is 1-3/4" x 2-1/4".

Tiny Houses - Set #1

 

For many years I have photographed some of my items with very tiny wooden houses for scale and for a pop of color. And of course as with appealing tiny things, I have gotten many inquiries about how to get them. The ones I have I purchased at a show where the maker, Christopher Gurshin (a wonderful early mural style painter), and I were both selling and I think I may have spent all my profits in his booth on the tiny houses he had, even though they were very costly. I never regretted the purchases or the new friendship. Later I tried to order more but alas he would not make more.

Many years before that, I made my own tiny houses as part of a tiny village shown at the NY Gift Show that was going to become a kit but which never happened because at the same time my Early American Doll Series did come out and eclipsed all other projects for many years. Until now. This is the first set of 4 tiny houses and I am working on a second set which will have other varied shapes and include a tiny church.These are all done by me personally and signed and dated on the bottoms. They are made to order with a 30 day wait for delivery.

Set #1 of 4 Tiny Houses $98 Add to Cart Temporarily out of stock. If you place an order, it will be about 30 days (6/30/24) for more.

PRINTED CATS WITH GW SPECIAL AGING
These printed cats are done for me by the yard by Jocelyn Benzaia, a friend and customer. But since I like mine to look as old as a small collection I had but which has now disintegrated due to real age and exposure to light (I used to use them as photo props until they fell apart), I age these two sizes and you would never know they weren't over 100 years old like the originals and stuff them with real wool. These will last for another hundred years as props in your doll setting or use the small size as an accessory to larger dolls (16-18"). Small is 3" tall $24 Add to Cart and Large size is 5" tall $28 Add to Cart.


A DOLL'S CHRISTMAS TREE - SCALED FOR HITTY SIZE


A real goosefeather tree (8.5" tall with 9 branches) with my signature picket fence and decorated in scale with a garland of tiny handpainted wooden beads, the tiniest of candles on the branch ends and 8 tiny ornaments plus a star on top and a hand turned wood base. Perfect for small dolls like Hitty. The tree is made from real goosefeathers made to resemble old-fashioned sparcer-styled Christmas trees. They originated in Europe about 200 years ago and were brought here by early German immigrants.
