MANY OF MY DOLLS FOR SALE FOR A WORTHY CAUSE


BROTHER AND SISTER NURSERY ROOM DOLLS MADE BY PATTY CAKE PRIMITIVES WHOSE WORK HAS BEEN FEATURED IN PRIMS MAGAZINE.  THESE DOLLS, SITTING ARE 10 INCHES.  THEY ARE DRESSED IN TANS AND LOVELY AQUAS.  THEIR OVERALL LENGTH IS 15 INCHES AND DO NOT STAND ON THEIR OWN. THEY HAVE SOFT-SCULPTED BODIES, AND THEIR FACES ARE MADE OF CREATIVE PAPER CLAY AND BEAUTIFULLY HAND PAINTED WITH A BEAUTIFULLY AGED-LOOK PATINA. THEY ARE $65 FOR THE PAIR. I WILL PAY FOR ALL SHIPPING.


I AM GOING TO BE SELLING SOME OF MY DOLLS ON MY BLOG SITE FOR A WORTHY CAUSE.  ALL OF MY DOLLS HAVE BEEN IN MY GLASS DOLL CASE AND ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION, IN A PET FREE, SMOKE FREE HOME.

 THE REASON I AM SELLING SOME OF MY DOLLS IS BECAUSE MY OLDEST SON IS STILL DEALING WITH EPISODES OF A REOCCURRING NATURE ASSOCIATED WITH HIS BOUT WITH WEST NILE MENINGITIS OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.  HIS SYMPTOMS FLARE UP SO THAT HE CANNOT HOLD DOWN A STEADY JOB.  HE AND HIS WIFE ARE EXPECTING THEIR FIRST BABY THIS FALL AND I AM SELLING SOME OF MY DOLLS TO HELP THEM OUT WITH THEIR ON-GOING FINANCIAL DISTRESS.

 DUE TO OBAMACARE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT CREATED SCENARIOS, THEY ARE UNABLE TO QUALIFY FOR WELFARE. HIS WIFE HAS A JOB, BUT THEY ARE BARELY MAKING IT FINANCIALLY. I AM SURE YOU KNOW THE SCENARIO AT THIS POINT IN TIME WITH THE ECONOMIC STRESS STILL KNOCKING ON ALL OF OUR DOORS.

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS FOLKS!

IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE THE SALE OF THESE DOLLS I AM SELLING THEM FOR DRASTICALLY LOWERED PRICES,  MIND YOU, MOST OF THESE DOLLS WERE ANYWHERE FROM $65 EACH TO $150 AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE PLUS THE SHIPPING COST ON TOP OF THAT.

I WILL PAY THE SHIPPING FEES.  MY ONLY REQUIREMENT IS, I CAN ONLY SELL WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES (SORRY!) AND THE PAYMENT MUST BE A U.S. POSTAL MONEY ORDER or A PERSONAL BANK MONEY ORDER, OR A PERSONAL CHECK SHOWING I.D. WITH YOUR STATE DRIVERS' LICENSE SHOWN.  I AM NOT SET UP FOR PAY PAL AS THIS IS GOING TO BE A ONE TIME OFFER

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING ONE OR MORE DOLLS PLEASE EMAIL ME AT: tscat@sbcglobal.net   THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
