A FEW DOLLS FOR SALE FROM MY DOLL COLLECTION - UPDATE- MARCH 29- SOME DOLLS HAVE SOLD- PLEASE CHECK BELOW

I have been collecting one-of-a-kind handmade dolls from professional doll makers for the past four years.  I am selling some of my dolls to help a relative who is in financial straits. So, I am going to be slowly selling some dolls.

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO VIEW THE DOLLS I HAVE FOR SALE.

  All of my dolls have been kept in my glass-doored doll china cabinet, in my smoke-free, pet-free home.  The prices posted include shipping and insurance.  My only stipulation at this time is I can only accept United States Postal Money orders, as they are the most secure type of money order as I am not set up to accept Pay Pal.  I will accept lay away if you wish to make two payments if this will make the transaction easier for you.  Please contact me at my email address at: tscat@sbcglobal.net if interested in this doll or any of the other dolls I am going to be selling.  Or, you can leave me a comment with your own email address in the comment section and I can contact you.  Which ever way you prefer.

THE 'ALICE IN WONDERLAND' DOLL HAS BEEN SOLD.  THANKS SO MUCH!

THE BLACK-EYED SUSIE DOLL HAS BEEN SOLD.  THANKS SO VERY MUCH!

The next doll I have available is a Deirdra Doan doll.  DEIRDRA'S DOLLS HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN 'ART DOLL QUARTERLY' A STAMPINGTON PUBLICATION. This doll is: 'The Pink Lady of Del Mar',  a very unique cloth and clay doll with seashell and star fish accents on her headpiece and at her waist.  Deirdra's dolls are so unique in their glorious embellishments. (The large sea shell is NOT included in the sale).

THE PINK LADY OF DEL MAR        The price for this doll is: $125.00 which includes shipping and insurance.   And again, I can only accept U.S. Postal Money orders at this time.  I can also do a two-payment layaway for your convenience.   Please contact me at: tscat@sbcglobal.net if interested in purchasing this doll.

Sweet, sweet details on the facial features of this lovely doll.  And again, the doll is jointed at the shoulders, and hips.  The unique rolled/braided arms and legs can be posed gracefully when the doll sits.  The doll stands at 16 inches tall and sits at 8 inches tall. A tag of authenticity is included with this doll.
The next set of dolls are a Primitive style brother and sister duo nursery room pair created by Cheryl Foster of Patty Cake Primitives. CHERYL'S DOLLS HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN 'PRIMS' DOLL PUBLICATION BY STAMPINGTON. These dolls have been lovingly handmade with soft cloth bodies, and paper clay faces, hand-painted with many details.  The clothing has been hand-sewn in a lovely primitive vintage nursery-room style.
For the pair, I am asking a total of $130.00 which includes the shipping and insurance.  The facial features on these two dolls are so precious, with their painted hair, hands, and legs with painted shoes.


THE CHARMING SISTER.  SWEET EXPRESSION WITH LOVELY DETAILED FACIAL FEATURES.  HER CLOTHING IS A MUSLIN UNDER BLOUSE, WITH A STRIPPED AND MUSLIN  OVER-FROCK, AND MUSLIN PANTALOONS.
THE HANDSOME BROTHER. AWWW! SUCH A CUTIE!  HE EVEN HAS A CLEFT IN HIS ADORABLE CHIN!  DRESSED IN A PALE ROBIN EGG BLUE SHIRT, AND STRIPPED TROUSERS.  THE CLOTHING HAS BEEN TEA DYED FOR AN HEIRLOOM LOOK.   THE DOLLS ARE 15 1/2 INCHES TALL.  AS WITH ALL HAND-MADE DOLLS,  NO TWO ARE ALIKE.  THESE DOLLS WERE CREATED TO LOOK PRIMITIVE.  AND THEY HAVE A BUNNY TAG FOR THEIR AUTHENTICITY.
THESE DOLLS ARE SO CHARMING AND PERFECT FOR THE NURSERY ROOM.

I WILL BE UPDATING MORE DOLLS FOR SALE THIS EVENING.  THANK YOU!
NOTE: Some have been inquiring about making a donation and not purchasing a doll.  I will take that in consideration if you have questions about it you can also email me.  Thank you for your kind support! My email again is: tscat@sbcglobal.net

LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD

It was in December that I received a comment on my blog from Hindustanka's Sunny Indian Days blog.  She had awarded me the prestigious Liebster Blog Award.  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! (You can access Hindustanka's blog at: http:hindustanka.blogspot.com/     Hindustanka...this is an honor.  I was given eleven questions to answer.  So here are my answers:
l. If you were offered unexpectedly to go somewhere for a trip, which destination would it be?   My answer is Scotland as I am Scottish and English. And I am a native born Californian and have never been to the United Kingdom.
2. What is your favorite book?  'Alice In Wonderland' has been my favorite book since I was a child.
3.Are you a dreamer?  Yes, very much so.
4. What was the best food you ever tried?  Rock Lobstser.  It has a better flavor than Maine Lobster.

11. Any new skill/craft you would like to learn? Yes, publishing my own book.

Now, it is up to me to nominate seven people for the Liebster Blog Award. (I know Hindustanka says to nominate eleven, but I have also seen seven posted on other blogs) which is about my limit for the time being.  So...Don't be surprised if you receive a comment from me honoring you as another Liebster Blog nominee!   The rules are: You are suppose to make up your own seven questions for the next new nominees.


I will be posting another post when I choose the blogs for the award.
Thanks so very much!
