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.

Paula, UNBELIEVABLE WOW !!!. They are all adorable already. I especially like the large one top row left. row on the left heads above the others. Is that a new
mold or does it just look bigger the way the picture was taken. It looks just like an original one I’ve seen in the Antique Doll Collector Magazine article.
All your hard work these past several months will reward you at UFDC. Hard work shows and good work shows. I’ll be thinking of you for the next 2 weeks and sending you good luck wishes. Fondly, Mary G.
Thank you !!! The large 22 inch doll is a new mold and I also have two other new molds as well. The two tiny dolls in the front row are made from the mold of the little Izannah I bought last October. The third new doll is just to the right of the large doll.
I’m going to need every single one of those good luck wishes, so keep them coming my way! I have an awful lot of sew yet to do this week 🙂
All the best for your show Paula!!! Each one of your dolls is priceless and a joy to own…. I can’t wait to someday order one from your new molds. I wish I could be there to help you… I hope you have a wonderful show and success, hugs, Charlotte
Thank you Charlotte! Your whole hearted encouragement means so much to me! It’s always hard for me to do shows, since I usually develop an intense case of “stage fright” accompanied by pure exhaustion, so having your good wishes, friendship and love is a huge boost to my moral!
