Two intrepid little travelers are nearing the end of their journeys. They have been wending their way west towards their new homes.
Miss Ismay and her dear friend wished each other bon voyage and shared their hopes and dreams about their lives in their new homes.Ismay is so excited to be starting a new life in Michigan! She just can’t wait to meet her new family ❤
This sweet young lady feels so happy that she is going to be living in Ohio! She loved every minute of her first trip to Ohio, when she went to visit Early American Life!
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.

Thank you Mary! You must be getting ready to travel too! I’ll be looking for you on Sunday. I’m going to be helping set up the doll show from at least 9-12, providing that Brian doesn’t need me. He’s having laser kidney surgery tomorrow.
Hi Paula,
I just love the pictures of these two little girls! They look so sweet together and both of them perfectly illustrate your phenomenal talents! Your posts are so much fun to see. I hope all goes well for Brian, and I wish him a speedy recovery. Love, Susie
Thank you Susie! I loved these two dolls so much that I just couldn’t resist taking a few more photos before they left here to remember them by and to share : )
It was a long day at the hospital yesterday and lots of running around afterwards to pick up prescriptions, but so far so good! We can’t tell yet if the procedure actually worked, but we are keeping our fingers crossed. He had kidney stones 6 years ago and had this same laser surgery done then, which was completely unsuccessful. We’re really hoping it will work this time around!
Hi Paula,
Surely they shall be very contented and happy in their new families, and being famous and all makes the new adventure even more interesting! They are indeed quite photogenic to say the least!! ;-D
Many Blessings, Linnie
The girls look so pretty all set for farewell. Fondly, Mary G.
