Doodle Day

I was supposed to be listing some more wonderful charms on Etsy yesterday, but I woke up with a cold, and just couldn't face it. So instead I made some Doodle brooches.

 

Peggy in Pink

Pointy Pixie

Molly, Charlie & Peggy

 

 



More Charms......

A few more charms in the shop today.....

 

Nuvo Shopping Trolley Charm/Pendant

Charming Charms.....

Just listed a couple of new charms in my Etsy Shop

 

Nuvo Dressing Table

Nuvo Caravan

Lucky Chimney Sweep

Opening Typewriter

 

There are more to come..... :0)



Also debuting in Etsy Shop this week are the Dolly Dingle Pillow Dolls!

 

Large Valerie

Small Johnnie & Joan

Small Peggy

The whole gang....so far!

 

The antique paper dolls in my collection, are fragile, and difficult to display, so these reproductions have been hand printed onto Egyptian cotton, and stuffed with all new polyester stuffing. Great to display on a shelf, or your bed...they are also great to cuddle :0)

 

Dottie's Doodles Shopper Bags

 

At last! My hand printed cotton shopper bags have been listed in my Etsy Shop.

Sailor Girl

Johnnie & Joan

Kewpie Crazy

 

 

I've also listed this new brooch pin. She has been reproduced from Petit Echo de la Mode from 1926

 

Golden Brown Izannah Walker Style Doll

Today I finished sewing the clothes for my other Izzie.

Her white cotton lawn undies are edged with antique cotton lace, and embroidered in cream. She has hand painted boots and stockings.

 



 

Her dress has angel sleeves, and is a rust printed Liberty Tana Lawn, which has been in my collection for over 15 years.

 

 

She has greeny blue eyes, and a soft blush, which looks great with her golden brown hair.

 

 

 

I will be listing her, and some other items in my Etsy Shop tomorrow.

Bank Holiday Fun

We had a great time at Junk Jamboree on Saturday, it's always nice to meet customers face to face, listen to live music and meet other vintage and handmade lovers from our area.

This time we even got to meet some greyhounds....the proceeds from the fair go to support Clark's Farm Greyhound Rescue. I love dogs, so was delighted to get to have a cuddle :0)

 

Then on Sunday we went treasure hunting! I found a beautiful 1930's book, Winnie the Pooh paper doll, an old Bakelite brooch and a gorgeous tiny cup and saucer....

 

 

Today I have finished sewing for my Izannah Walker style doll. She has a full set of underwear.

 

 

And a dusky pink dress, with puffed sleeves, tucked bodice, and 3 rows of black braid on her skirt.

 

She was hand sculpted with paperclay over a cloth base. Her boots, stockings, hair and eyes are hand painted.

 

She is about 11" tall, and I've really enjoyed making her.

 

What a great weekend!
