One New Reproduction Zanna Available ~ Now Sold

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Welcome to this evening’s sale of the latest reproduction of my antique Izannah Walker doll Zanna. The original Zanna and all of her newly made sisters hold a special place in my heart. Zanna was the very first antique Izannah Walker doll in my collection. I purchased her in the autumn of 1998, and have loved her ever since. In the intervening twenty-eight years quite a few more sisters have joined my little Walker family, but there is always something a bit special about the very first one.

ZANNA ~ $2425 via Paypal or $2350 via Check or Money Order

17.5 Inches ~ This very special version of Zanna comes with a full wardrobe, which includes a chemise, pantalettes, petticoat, 2 dresses, 1 pinner apron, and a prairie sunbonnet. All of the fabric, lace and buttons that I used to make her clothing is antique. Her darkest brown dress is made from a pattern that I drafted from her namesake’s original dress. Her sunbonnet, is a scaled down calico version of one of my favorite antique sunbonnets. It is a newly drafted pattern that I’m calling a prairie bonnet because it reminds me of Little House on the Prairie.

Here is what you need to know to buy a doll: All of my dolls are sold on a “first come” basis. I only have one doll to sell today. 

To purchase Zanna email me at paula@asweetremembrance.com 

You are welcome to ask questions, but please note that asking a question is not the same as making a commitment to buy and will not “hold your place in line” if someone else asks to buy the doll. When Zanna sells I will mark her SOLD asap. I offer a discount if you pay by check or money order. Paypal is also accepted for payment. Free priority mail shipping & full insurance to any U.S. address. Unfortunately I am not shipping to any other countries at the current time.

❤ ❤ ❤ Zanna is a diminutive of Susanna and means lily ❤ ❤ ❤

Such a Busy Weekend!

Saturday is Cleaning Day❣️
Tilly Lamb & Sarah Alice are up early. They have a lot to do today. They are cleaning the doll house from top to bottom!
Making the beds, dusting and straightening the toys in the bedroom. Then moving to the parlor to dust and shovel the ashes out of the stove. In the kitchen a huge stack of dishes is waiting to be neatly put away…
Monday – Washing.
Tuesday – Ironing.
Wednesday – Mending.
Thursday – Marketing.
Friday – Baking.
Saturday – Cleaning.
Sunday – Day of Rest.

Busy, busy days… While I spent the weekend making dolls to unveil next Saturday night, September 26th at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time, the dolls cleaned their doll house from top to bottom. Goodness! Parties are so much work!!!

Isabeau takes a tea break …

All the little Izzys were exhausted, so today they took the day off to rest, while I continued to paint and sew. I hope they will be ready to get back to work tomorrow! We still have so many party preparations to make before we can celebrate Izannah Walker’s 203rd birthday on Friday, September 25th, 2020 beginning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern time. We hope you will be able to come to the party ❤
