TEA SETS FOR 2 FOR 12" DOLLS
The potter friend who made my Hitty size tea sets agreed to make much larger ones (still small by any standards) for my 12" Izannah Collector's Club. I have a few sets leftover. Sets are made in the style of my favorite yellow ware and include the tea pot with separate lid, creamer pitcher, sugar bowl with separate lid and 2 cups and saucers. The dolls in the photo are 12" tall to give you an idea of scale. These last ones on sale from $175 to $150 and come gift boxed.

FROM THE NURSERY RHYME-FAIRY TALE SERIES ~ WEE WILLIE WINKIE
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Up stairs and down stairs in his night-gown.
Tapping at the window, crying at the lock,
Are the children in their bed, for it's past ten o'clock?
BEING DISCONTINUED - LAST ONES AVAILABLE AT SALE PRICE
This one is my version of Wee Willie Winkie, an old Scottish nursery rhyme much longer in its original form first published in 1841 and sung as a lullaby. My Wee Willie Winkie is the same 3.5" as the other dolls in the Nursery Rhyme Series which began with Little Red Riding Hood. He has curly toed slippers, a knit and tasseled nightcap and a hand-dyed outfit of a tucked gown over bloused pants and carries a tiny wooden lantern. He comes with the wooden stand. $250.

THE 17" QUILTED SANTA - KiTS AND PATTERNS on SALE:
This painted cloth-faced Santa shows off his quilted and pieced robe
on a uniquely constructed body that allows him to stand by himself,
through a special technique of weighting his feet. His wonderful
presence is created by the layers of clothing and the many fabrics
that go into his robe. Easy 4-patch quilt construction is used to
create the "fabric"
for his robe. A few options are included for accessories as well.
This pattern can provide many many looks from vintage country to
Victorian by just altering the fabric choices. Included in the Mini Kit are wood
soles, bearding, all paints, face stencil, wires for arms, a hard-to-find
antiqued belt buckle and instructions for how to make his address
book. The pattern only has full instructions and patterns plus the face stencil.

KIT FOR ALL THE FABRICS FOR QUILTED SANTA - Sale for only 4 available packs
I have assembled a limited edition of all of the fabrics (about
70) necessary to make this santa in the old browns palette that
I used. The 60 squares used to make the 4-patch quilt for his robe
are from my own stash of many years and all pre-cut, many overdyed,
ready to sew. Except for a few accessories, everything is here,
including body fabric, lead feet, leather for his belt, fabrics
for shoes, stockings, pants, tunic, sack and cap with floss for
the tassel. For all other accessories besides fabrics, visit the Just
For Santas page. This fabric kit is optional (or you can gather
all your own fabrics), but does not include the mini-kit
above, so you will need both.

SPECIALS FOR THE MAKERS OF MY KITS - OLD DISCONTINUED KITS AVAILABLE
 o
A continuation of a procrastination project to hoe out the many boxes of parts of discontinued kits and their finished versions mostly for cloth dolls. It is daunting to pick through deciding what can be sold or given away or sadly taken to the dump. These are some of much more to come as I get more time. When partially worked dolls are included, I figure there are those out there who know my work and can make use of.
The kits listed below (between the dotted lines) only have ONE of each available. Each is a complete kit with original materials and all paints have been replaced with fresh. All prices shown will not have further discounts.
Please note that I will be adding to this list more items in time.

SHEEP
PULLTOY KIT - LAST ONES
Sheep is modeled after my extensive collection
of antique sheep like him. I was inspired long
ago to collect these because our little historic
town library has a huge and wonderful similar
collection on display in honor of Acworth, NH,
being a real sheep town having produced more
wool for Civil War uniforms than any other single
place. Until very recently, there could always
be seen several hundred sheep grazing around
town. I always had about 4-6 of my own. The little
pulltoy has a molded body, tiny metal wheels,
a bell and the rest is precut wood parts that
assemble easily. All materials are included in
the kit with extra parts available for those
liking to add this little guy to their dolls
or Santas as accessories.

TWO NOAH'S ARKS KITS BEING DISCONTINUED
SPECIAL
EDITION PULLTOY NOAH'S ARK
This is a favorite revisited from
my old discontinued kits. This pulltoy ark set is very small
and is a good sized toy for smaller dolls especially the Early
American Series or even Hitty, but could be a good toy for
any size doll or Santa. Kit has pulltoy ark with wheels, Noah,
and 4 sets of animals on small bases plus complete paints and
instructions. A pretty easy kit in spite of scale. Ark is about
2 inches long and animals are less than 1/2" tall. Kits were $48.

DOLL APRONS - There is something so dear about doll
aprons, bonnets and shoes. These are aprons popular in the
late 1800's which show up on many antique dolls, notably, Izannah
Walkers, Springfield Woodens and many others. This is a common
design - there were many - that I adapted and now print out
in brown on extra fine overdyed batiste (for drape). These
are mini-kits to make your own with sewing template, instructions,
pre-printed and pre-overdyed (antique white) apron fronts plus
lining and button for waistband. Even Hitty has one her size.

A REFURBISHED KIT OF THE DISCONTINUED 10.5" Molded Queen Anne Kit
Here is the original blurb for this doll:
This doll is my version of the cherished wooden dolls of the 1700-1800 era. I have made the doll from papier mache instead of carved wood with limbs attached by fabric, but took liberties with my style from the many dolls I have studied in books and museums. I am particularly drawn to this doll because a doll of this style was part of a long remembered story (The Doll of Lilac Valley) I read at nine years old about a girl who goes to live in the country for the summer in Vermont, my own home state, and at a country auction bids on a bag of rags no one else wants and thus acquires a very valuable Queen Anne doll. I largely avoided this type of doll for many years due to my real love of simpler dolls from other times, but as I became more involved with Hitty and Joel Ellis (Springfield Wooden Dolls), Queen Annes began to work their charm.This doll began as a live class at the Wenham Museum followed by the introduction of the kit and an online class.
The kit contains:
• Molded one-piece head/torso and molded lower arms and lower legs
• Paints
• Eyebrow and eye template
• English Mohair roving and foundation for wig
• Materials and notions for undies
• Instructions for doll, costume & accessories
• Patterns include her day cap, open gown with petticoats, stomacher, draped sleeve ruffles, apron, tiny silk slippers, optional panniers, and of course, the ever present and endearing pockets
SALE PRICE: $98 SOLD

EARLY PRINTED CATS TO SEW YOURSELF (please note, these are not the ones that I sell currently)
These printed cats were taken from an antique unsewn cat by the Arnold Printworks Patented 1892. These printed cats and other animals and dolls were very popular for the home sewer who was to sew up and stuff these printed treasures for playthings long ago. These are 2 of the sizes done for me by a good friend before I reworked the original artwork for each of the four sizes I now sell.
We have found in our stash a number of two of the sizes and packaged them to make up 2 cats in each size.
