A Very Special Birthday Doll

18 inch reproduction doll made from the mold I created of my antique Izannah Walker doll Hannah, with two dresses and matching child size dress.

Every now and again I am asked to create something wonderful as a surprise gift for a special doll lover. I’ve just put the finishing touches on what is sure to be a very memorable 8th birthday present for a little girl who loves dolls just as much as her grandmother does ❤  Happy Birthday Holly!

    1. I hope she is! I would have been delirious with joy to receive a doll and dress like this on my 8th birthday ❤ ❤ ❤ Holly has amazing grandparents that put a great deal of thought and love into making this birthday one she will always remember.

  3. Dear Paula,

    What an amazing gift – Holly is going to have such fun. Her grandparents couldn’t have picked a better friend/confidant than Hannah for their granddaughter – as I well know.

    Thank you for sharing, Janet
