Today all the dolls and I took a short break in our preparations for Izannah Walker’s birthday to pick pumpkins from the garden! They are all very excited and looking forward to the big birthday party AND trick or treating ❤
Making paper party hats!Four hands are better than two! So many hats to make…“I’m making a special hat just for you!”The white pumpkins are our favorites!
Now that you know the dolls are planning a party, we hope you will come back to visit on September 25th and celebrate with us!
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.

Hi Paula, there’s a chill in the evening air here in VT. I can see your reasoning in picking pumpkins early. Tonight I picked a nice basket of early mixed tart apples, even though we haven’t had a frost to sweeten them up yet. Guess I couldn’t wait to get out to the orchard and walk thru it. Tomorrow will see what I turn the tart apples into. Your dolls look so cute. Love, Mary G.
On Monday I went to a friends to pick peaches. I haven’t picked most of my pumpkins yet, but the tiny white ones were ready, so I couldn’t resist. 🙂 It’s still hot here, but hopefully it will cool down next week so I will feel like doing a little more cooking.
