“No! We should stay inside where it is warm and read…”
“or work on our samplers…”
Isabeau, Ismay and Zanna were forced to agree, for the sad truth is that the dolls only have one coat to share between them all, which was kindly loaned to them by the bears…
…and so Isabeau sat down to read “The Story of My Dolls” aloud. “No one seems to know much about Tillie” she read…
“We do, we do!” cried all the dolls…
… later they bundled Izzybelle into the borrowed coat and let her go outside to scoop snow into their biggest bowl. Then they made snow ice cream, which they ate to their hearts content.
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, Your sweet little dolls have the most perfect ideas for a beautiful snowy day – a wonderful book and stitching on a sampler! I truly can’t think of a more perfect day! And of course, topping it off with a special ice cream treat! Thank you for the wonderful post! Made my day! Love, Susie
Susie,
I hope you are snug and warm! Today we have sunshine making all the huge mounds of snow sparkle. 🙂 The dolls all send their love to their sisters!
Hugs,
Paula
