Wishing you all the best from our home to yours for Christmas 2012!

This large papier-mache boy was a present from my husband several Christmases ago.  He is wearing a "new" dress for Christmas that I just bought for him from Edyth O'Neill. It arrived today and I couldn't wait to try it on him.

Update, Charlcie has found her new home just in time for Christmas!

My first copy of the new Prims Winter 2013 issue arrived yesterday.  Charlcie and Savannah couldn’t wait to open it and read all about themselves!  The magazine is scheduled to be in stores on January 1st.  Susie Belle has already moved to her new home in Virginia.  Savannah is sold and on lay-away, so I get the pleasure of her company for a bit longer.  Charlcie is very happy that her sisters have such wonderful new homes and hopes that she will find one of her own very soon!

12/14/12 NOTE: SAVANNAH IS SOLD.

12/22/22 NOTE: CHARLCIE IS SOLD.

I have three new dolls that are available for sale, just in time for Christmas.  All of them are featured in the upcoming Winter 2013 issue of Prims magazine. As many of you know, I don’t usually name my dolls, but I did name these three.  You can read their story, along with a bit about how they were made and a some of my doll making tips in the magazine, which goes on sale January 1st.

Each of the dolls is fully dressed in clothing made from antique fabrics and lace.  If you’ve been dreaming of a doll with her own antique trunk full of dresses sitting under your tree on Christmas morning, that can be arranged 🙂  I have an antique doll trunk for sale, which  can be filled with gift certificates for custom made dresses.   Charlcie, Savannah, or Susie Belle accompanied by the antique trunk and dress certificates would  make  a very memorable and touching Christmas gift.  I am including a signed copy of Prims along with each doll.  There is also a chance that these dolls will be appearing in Early American Life magazine next year.  EAL was here on Saturday to shoot photos of our home for their 2013 Christmas issue.  At this point I have no idea which photos they will choose to use in the magazine article 🙂

To purchase Charlcie, Savannah(SOLD), or Susie Belle(SOLD) please visit my website asweetremembrance.com.  If you would like to add additional clothing, shoes or antique doll trunks to your order you may call me (860-355-5709) or email me (paula@asweetremembrance.com)  I would be happy to talk to you at any time about my dolls, answer any questions you may have, or send you additional photos.  As always, lay-away is an option on any purchase.
