SOLD- Thank You! I’ve just finished making Lily #2’s pantalettes, petticoat and sun bonnet. Now that she is finished she is looking for a new home to call her own.
I am able to offer you reproductions of Lily due to the amazing generosity of my friend Susie, who owns the real Lily. I am currently almost finished restoring the original Lily and Susie very kindly told me that she wanted me to make a mold from her while she was here. I’ll be chronicling Lily’s restoration journey here in the upcoming weeks. Lily has a very classic Izannah head and at 17 inches is the middle stair step between my Isabeau and Izzybelle.
Here is Lily #2 posing along with Isabeau and the real antique Lily.Lily #2 has a second skin made from dark red glazed antique cotton.She has two curls in front of each ear and a short fringe of hair at the nape of her neck.Her patalettes are scalloped at the hem and her chemise and petticoat are trimmed with lace.Because the days are getting longer and filled with sunshine, Lily #2 has a sun bonnet to wear when she goes out to the garden or rambles in the woods.Pansies! Lily #2 hopes that she will be able to help with the gardening at her new home…Lily #2 – $1300.00 with free shipping to any U.S. address. Lay-away available.Lily #2 strolling among the bleeding hearts…Hannah has returned from the Early American Life photo shoot just in time to pose with Lily #2 and show off their matching dresses. The dresses are made from the same antique fabric in two different styles. (Hannah is sold).It’s so nice to have dear friends!Lily #2 is available for adoption for $1250.00 without her bonnet, or $1300.00 with bonnet. You may also add a second dress of your choice to her wardrobe for an additional $200.00I’m sure you are probably all familiar with this photo of Martha Jenks Chase holding her Izannah Walker doll that appeared in the wonderful article “The Search for Izannah Walker” by Monica Bessette, Doll News, Spring 1994. Look at the Izannah in this photo. I believe that the same mold was used to make this doll and the original Lily. If you do not have a copy of Monica’s article, you should. It is fascinating and a must read for all Izannahphiles!!!
SOLD – If you have any questions about Lily #2, or would like to welcome her into your doll family, please email me at paula@asweetremembrance.com or call 860-355-5709 during business hours. Oops! I almost forgot to mention that shipping is free to any U.S. address and that lay-away is also available. 🙂

Hi Paula, Lily two is just beautiful! Everything about her is perfect! I’m thrilled to see these pictures of her. All of the pictures are wonderful, and especially the ones of her strolling in the garden with pansies and bleeding hearts – two of my favorite flowers of all time! My grandma always had these flowers growing in her garden, and so it is especially fun to see these pictures of sweet Lily in the garden with these flowers. Beautiful pictures for Mother’s Day weekend! Thank you! Susie
I love bleeding hearts and pansies too. They are in my favorite flower garden, which is at it’s best at the moment. Lily and I had a wonderful time looking at all the flowers! The smell was heavenly. Wishing you a very Happy Mother’s Day!

Paula
