My friend Edyth O’Neil, a long time doll collector, antique dealer, artist, and rug hooker extraordinaire, has a new doll blog, Dolls for My Red Cape. She currently has some wonderful posts up about her collection of early papier-mache dolls, antique quilts, and fabulous mid-19th century doll and baby clothing. I hope you will enjoy reading about Edyth’s dolls as much as I do!
There is no better way to spend an afternoon than playing dolls with your friends! This is a photo of Edyth and Peggy along with my dolls and Peggy’s after just such an afternoon. ❤
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.

Such a nice looking picture of your friends with the dolls. I love these kind of afternoons as well. Having tea, hot coco and cookies enjoying each others dolls.
Mary, it was a lovely day. I had gone up to visit Peggy while Edyth was staying in Gloucester. When I needed a photograph for this post about Edyth’s new blog I immediately thought of this one. Here is my original post about my trip to Peggy’s house: https://izannahwalker.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/a-day-in-gloucester-massachusetts/
