MY 50TH YEAR IN FULL TIME DOLLMAKING!

I am not retiring or going out of business yet. What I am doing is trying to hoe out and hone down the vast amount of stuff that has gone into 50 years and the number of items that require making to fill orders to allow more time for creating new.





Some of the New Items are still available - see them on the New Items tab in the top menu bar.
 

 
 





Prices shown in this section will show up as sale prices and are all limited numbers available.

 

 

 

 
 


NEWS ABOUT CLASSES

The pandemic was the final blow to making it possible to hold in-person classes. But it was not totally to blame. Nearly all venues I previously used have become destination event venues as in for weddings, etc, and impossible to afford or even get a reservation less than a year in advance. But I am hopeful with some new discoveries to once again hold some in-person classes.

I even took a class myself this past summer (is it already past tense?). I have taught scores of classes to hundreds of participants, even on a cruise to the Carribean, but have not been in a class since college. I signed up for it on a whim while on the internet late one night trying to learn more about one of my passions - Early American murals like those of Rufus Porter. Although I paint on average of 4 hours a day, it isn't the same as being proficient at painting trees, hills and scenery. I had two fears. One, would I be able to do it gracefully and would I be able to restrain myself from taking over the class. All went well and I had a fabulous time, made new friends, ate wonderful food in an idyllic setting. And it is here I may find the perfect venue. I will post more. especially to those who have been on my class mailing list.


TERMS OF SALES (please read)

SALE PRICES AND DISCOUNTS DO NOT SHOW IN CART :
Please note that the only prices that will reflect sale discounts are those items with links on this page. All other stuff ordered on other pages will not have sale prices show up in your cart, unless it states otherwise - we will apply the discounts here when we invoice.

WHEN IS YOUR ORDER CHARGED?
Remember that when you place an order on my website, even though you give your credit card info, they are not automatically charged. Rather we manually collect the orders and then manually charge here after we apply any discounts. In cases where you order something that will take more time (for me to make it), we charge a deposit (20% - non-refundable) then the balance when the order is ready to ship.

CONFIRMING ORDERS:
You will receive an automatic response to placing an order online, but I will follow up with an individual response once I see what is on your order and can then determine if any items were sold out and a shipping date. Usually orders that contain finished dolls will take longer due to GW making each order as it is ordered.

COMBINING ORDERS: Many of you order multiple times during a sale - which I appreciate greatly. But it becomes difficult and to be honest, crazy, keeping track so that we can combine orders for more economical shipping. Sometimes we miss a few. Also, many of you belong to my clubs and sometimes I am still shipping sale orders at club shipping time. Since you know if you are in a club, you can let us know so that if possible (only if the timing works) we will combine with your club shipping.

LAYAWAYS:
Layaways are always an option. See menu item "Ordering Info" at the top of the page and go to Layaways in the dropdown. All Layaway terms apply.
SALE DISCOUNT EXCEPTIONS:
All items already discounted may not be also on sale, including Garage Sale items, items part of any club, items not yet in production or new(unless otherwise stated), PDF copies of patterns and reprints, and a few items marked individually on the website and may not be applied to orders already in place. If some items sell out, you may be offered a raincheck for the same sale discount with a later delivery.


NOTE FROM GW: Both time and the pandemic have made it ever more difficult to do my work. What this really means is I can only make smaller numbers of things and it takes longer to do the work. I have lost several key workers who cannot be replaced (ever) and all of the work now has to be done by fewer people. Keep in mind we never have had enough time in a day and now it takes true genius to manage all the details. All of us here are aging and with age has come added time away from work to help care for our families and ourselves. I will never compromise the quality or integrity of my work, but I ask your patience in the necessary wait times while we (my tiny team of 2 here and my 3 long distance workers) carry on.
