Black Izannah Walker Reproduction Doll in Cheddar Print Dress

This doll is dressed in a gown  made from a reproduction cotton print fabric. It is a scaled down copy of a child’s dress in my collection. Her chemise is made of antique linen and trimmed in antique eyelet.  Her pantalettes were made from a worn out vintage sheet, antique lace and antique button.  She is wearing an antique petticoat that I cleaned and restored. I fashioned an apron out of scraps of an antique “cheddar” print fabric.  I also made her a necklace of coral colored beads.

$925.00 with free shipping to US addresses.

Black Reproduction Izannah Walker Doll in Pink Dress

This doll is wearing a reproduction of one of the original dresses worn by my antique Izannah Walker dolls.  It is made from a wonderful antique pink and white homespun check fabric.  Under her dress she is wearing a chemise, pantalettes and an antique petticoat.

I made her sunbonnet of antique double pink calico.  The bonnet is a doll sized version of an antique bonnet in my collection.  The brim is stiffened with individually cut strips of cardboard.

A Year Full of Celebration, Contests, Surprises and Special Events!

paulawaltonLeave a comment

This year is the 25th anniversary of my business, A Sweet Remembrance, which I began in June, 1986.  To mark the occasion I am planning a year filled with fun, whimsical, interesting, informative and sometimes down right silly events, drawings, contests and classes!

This is the antique fabric and lace that I am giving away in the drawing. Can't you just picture it made up into the perfect summer dress for an Izannah Walker doll? All she would need to celebrate the 4th of July would be a tiny vintage flag!

The first drawing for all of my Reproduction Izannah Walker Doll Making students will be for a dress length of antique fabric and enough antique lace to trim a full set of underclothes for your doll.  All of the details are posted on the class member site.

If you would like to take the class and have a chance at winning the fabric and lace, there is still plenty of time.  The drawing will close on Memorial Day.

My Latest Doll

paulawalton2 Comments

 

Here are photos of the doll that I just finished.  She is already spoken for, but if you are smitten with her, you may order a doll just like her.  The fabrics that I used for her clothing are all antique, so they are one of a kind, with the exception of the striped linen in her petticoat, which I do have more of.  I also have some similar double pink fabric, both antique and new, which would both  make up wonderfully into dresses like this one.

If you would like to order a doll, please email me at paula@asweetremembrance.com or call 860-355-5709.

Finishing Touches

paulawaltonLeave a comment

Today I added the finishing touches to these two dolls.

I made a sunbonnet of antique double pink calico for the doll in the pink dress (the pink and white check is also an antique fabric).  The bonnet is a doll sized version of an antique bonnet in my collection.  The brim is stiffened with individually cut strips of cardboard.

For her sister I fashioned an apron out of scraps of an antique “cheddar” print fabric.  I also made her a necklace of coral colored beads.  Both girls have chemises, pantalets, antique petticoats, and wigs made from lambskin just like Izannah’s black dolls had.  They are each holding handmade Valentine’s.  Please call for additional details or to order.  860-355-5709 Paula@asweetremembrance.com.

Earlier this week we had a post Christmas blizzard and accompanying power outage.  Since the storm made it difficult to email or call me, I am extending my Christmas sale through Monday, January 3rd.  My apologies to any of you that were unable to reach me with orders and questions.

Yuletide Sale

paulawaltonLeave a comment

I love this time of year!  In honor of Christmas I have put all of my reproduction Izannah Walker dolls, Spun Cotton Ornament Classes, and Izannah Walker Doll Making Classes on sale through 12/31/10.

The base price of my dolls is normally $1500, but if you purchase a finished doll or place an order for a custom made doll during the sale the base price of the doll will be $1050.  That’s a savings of $450, or 30 %!  The sale price for the Spun Cotton Class is $110 and $220 for the Doll Making class.

If you have been thinking about buying one of my reproduction Izannahs, this is the time.  I don’t anticipate offering them at a lower price anytime during the upcoming year.  Each doll takes between 85 – 95 hours to make.  That’s two forty hour weeks, plus overtime.  🙂

You can view and purchase the finished dolls at www.asweetremembrance.com. Dolls currently in progress can be seen here at the Izannah Walker Journal.  Call me at 860-355-5709 or email me at Paula@asweetremembrance.com with questions, to place a custom order, or to reserve one of the dolls I’m working on. Custom orders require a 25% deposit.

I’m happy to offer lay away for any purchase, usually for four months, but I’m pretty flexible so if you need longer, we can work that out.

Dolls Available for Christmas

paulawaltonLeave a comment

This week I’m working on eight dolls, which with luck, will be ready in time for Christmas.  Two of the dolls are boys, two are black and the other four are girls.  All of the dolls are 18 – 1/2 inches.

Here is a sneak peek at one of the boys.

I firmly believe that everyone should have a doll for Christmas.  In order to help make that happen I am offering special pricing on my Izannah Reproduction Dolls during the month of December.  The base price of my dolls is normally $1500, but if you purchase a finished doll or place an order for a custom made doll from 12/1/10 – 12/31/10 the base price of the doll will be $1050.  That’s a savings of $450, 30 percent!

Email me at Paula@asweetremembrance.com or call 860-355-5709 if you would like to see more photos, have questions or to place a custom order.
