Wishing you all a very Happy Holiday Season and Happy New Year....

My plans for complete retirement have just not worked out for a number of reasons.

The most healthy plan for me is to keep my focus on creating, so that I do not dwell on the devastating recent loss of my wonderful young son... therefore I continue on, and hope so much to be able to create all the projects I have been putting off for years... My son Joseph loved my dolls and he even helped me choose fabrics to put together for some of the costumes I used to make, he made some dolls himself as well. I can honour him by continuing on with my creative work as he would have wanted me to.

I will create my true "dream dolls".... with my own costumes and very finest silks and Antique laces..... My own style is so different from anything I have been offering for sale in recent years, as I try to be very true to the Antique costumes and usually, I will find a photo of a Genuine Antique original outift and copy it as exactly as possible... So these costumes take two to three weeks each to make, with a great deal of hand sewing and meticulous details. This is what I call "competition quality" when no modern sewing techniques are used, and the costumes are true to the way the Antique costumes were made. This is my true joy in making Antique reproduction dolls.

With the new porcelain that I have been able, finally to buy that is just like the Seeley Lady White I used to use, I will be presenting new heads and dolls in the coming year. I have quite a few now poured, so will be working on them right after Christmas.

My love and blessings to everyone... I am so very gratefull for your continued support all these twenty years.
