The Litchfield County Times Monthly – February 2014

February 8, 2014February 8, 2014 paulawalton

Big thank yous to both Alice Tessier and Laurie Gaboardi for the very nice article and lovely photos of our home and my studio that appear in the current issue of the Litchfield County Times magazine section.

If you’ve read the article and find a few things printed in it confusing, don’t worry, it isn’t your memory playing tricks on you! Take the article with a grain of salt & don’t believe everything you read. 🙂 No, I didn’t change my name, nor did I suddenly split into triplets, Paula, Pamela, & Paul! Early American Life did not suddenly scrub my name off of 25 of their Directories of the Top Traditional Craftsmen in America (I’ve been juried into the EAL directory 29 times, not 4). You cannot see photos of our home on Early American Life’s website, Facebook page or Twitter Account. You can see them on one of my blogs, Paula Walton’s 18th Century Home Journal. In spite of these errors and a few more wrong facts and misquotes, it is still an engaging write-up. If you would like to read the article and see the accompanying photos, follow this link.

My name is Paula Walton. I’m a working craftsperson. I’ve been self-employed since 1986, when I started selling the items that I make under the name A Sweet Remembrance. Among other things, I am a doll maker, a dressmaker that specializes in reproduction women’s and children’s clothing, maker of spun cotton ornaments and holiday figures, and a freelance designer. Upon occasion I write magazine articles and am a Craftsperson in Residence. I teach and do demonstrations quite frequently, plus I was previously the director and curator of a small museum in Connecticut. View all posts by paulawalton

Paula, I tried to click on the link and cannot get it to work. My son could not, either. I have not forgotten to copy the Pringle things for you. I’ve needed printer ink and am waiting to put the new ink in before trying to print so it’ll show up decently. I loved seeing the additional pictures of your home. How beautiful it is!

  Hi Billie,
  I just tried the link and it worked for me. Here it is again:

  Thank you so much, I appreciate you making the copies for me and whenever it works out is great. I’m glad you liked the photos. The house doesn’t always look like that 🙂 It’s hard to keep it all clean at once!
  Paula

Hi Paula, what a wonderful article, seeing the pictures of your home made me feel like I was right there in your livingroom. Congrats on this and all of your articles. I wanted to let Billie and anyone else to know that I wasn’t able to bring up the article either so I went to your website (Izannah Walker Journal) and clicked on the same link and it came right up. Fondly, Mary Goddard.

  Hi Mary,
  
  I guess the link in the email version of the article wasn’t working, but the one on the blog was… hmmm. WordPress was acting sort of strange while I was posting, lots of loading errors, but whatever the problem thank you for persevering! Did you notice the photo of your doll that I’m working on? It’s the one they captioned as having a wistful face. 🙂 Laurie is a great photographer!
  
  Hugs,
  Paula
