I’m very pleased to let you all know that I have been juried into the Early American Life Craftsman Directory for the 41st time. It is always a real honor to be included in this prestigious group of the finest craftspersons in the United States. About a month ago I was asked to send a doll in for the directory issue photo shoot. So I am looking forward to seeing the August 2020 issue!
Early American Life is publishing on schedule even through these current challenging times. This is their statement about the August issue: “To insure the safety and health of our staff and that of North Augusta’s Living History Park in light of the coronavirus pandemic, we have put our visit to the Park on hold. Circumstances may prevent us from photographing the finest work of the artists selected for the 2020 Directory of Traditional American Crafts at the park. This change does not affect the appearance of the Directory in the August 2020 issue of Early American Life nor our featuring the Park in that issue. We are working on a creative solution that will help prevent the spread of the virus.”
In the mean time while we all wait for EAL’s August issue, here is a glimpse of what goes into making my reproduction Izannah Walker dolls. ❤

Dear Ms. Walton, congratulations! What a great honor. I look forward to hearing more about the doll you submitted when the material is available.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of these very lovely dolls.
Thank you! If you type Charlcie in the search box on the right side of the page it will bring up a wealth of information about both the original antique doll and my reproductions of her. One of the Charlcies is currently with the EAL staff for photography. All of the dolls shown have been sold. 💙♥️💙
