Marti’s Anna

September 27, 2016 paulawalton6 Comments

As promised her are photos of Marti’s doll. She’ll be leaving here soon to start her trip home. ❤

A special order doll for Marti, made from my Anna mold.

Marti’s doll loves helping in the garden. She has such a green thumb!

The original Anna is standing on the right side of the photograph. Luckily she is here for a tiny bit of restoration work, so she could pose with her young offspring 🙂

Anna’s slightly chubby body makes her seem more childlike. I love her slight shape varation <3<3

To enlarge any photo and read the captions, just click on the image. The early morning sunlight was bouncing off the walls in my studio, creating a bit of glare on Anna’s paint so it does look slightly shinier in the photos than it does in person. Over time as her paint continues to dry and cure it will become more matte. ❤ Anna is sooooooo excited to be traveling to her new home and her sister Izzybelle. ❤

“and the winners are…” Annabelle and Annalee Drew the Party Favor Winners

September 26, 2016September 26, 2016 paulawaltonLeave a comment

Ismay was going to draw the winners email addresses out of the hat, but the twins begged and pleaded… so she told them they could do it instead. They love helping!

The party favor winners have been chosen! I’ll be sending out emails to inform the winners and get mailing addresses. A huge thank you to everyone who entered & congratulations to the winners!

Annalee took her job very seriously.

Annabelle announced the winners after Annalee drew out the slips of paper.

Happy 199th Birthday Izannah Walker – Part 6 – Sweet Dreams

September 25, 2016 paulawalton6 Comments

We’ve come to the end of our day. My dolls and I hope you have enjoyed joining in our celebration of Izannah Walker’s birthday. They’ve had a very active day with all of their friends. Now all the dolls are getting sleepy and ready for bed… Isabeau wasn’t quite sure where everyone was going to sleep tonight. Since Cloe was such a big help this morning, she offered to rearrange the beds, so that there was a place for all of the dolls.

Even after Cloe moved all of the beds around, Isabeau still wasn’t sure that there was room for everyone… “maybe we should have gone up to the attic to get Izzybelle’s little old bed” she fretted.

The Annas overheard her and offered to sleep in the kitchen on a pallet… I think I heard them whispering something about a midnight snack…

and now as the sun goes down it is time to kiss all the dolls good night, tell them to sleep tight and dream of tomorrow…

Even More Izannahs…

Just a sneak peek for Marti of her own little Anna. I’ll post more photos of her in the next day or two and then she will be off to her new home…

Happy 199th Birthday Izannah Walker! – Part 5 -All Reproduction Dolls Have Been SOLD – Thank you!

September 25, 2016September 26, 2016 paulawalton2 Comments

Welcome back to my celebration of Izannah Walker’s 199th birthday! I have three of my reproduction Izannah Walker dolls who are looking for homes of their own. Two of the dolls are twins and are only being sold as a pair, because they can not bear to be parted from one another. ❤

Annabelle & Annalee SOLD Thank You so much for looking!!!!

Annabelle and Annalee are twins made from my mold of the original antique Izannah Walker doll Anna. The sisters are approximately 16.5 inches tall. Their painted boots have laces and red trim around the tops. The girls have matching underwear and will have matching “double pink” dresses with fitted bodices and sleeves. Although I’m sure that Annalee is hoping that you won’t notice, one of the sleeves on her dress has had to be remade in similar, but not exactly matching fabric. Annabelle scolded her quite severely when she tore it! You can tell that Annalee is the more adventurous twin, she is ever so slightly more worn than her more virtuous sister. Annalee is the twin who climbs up the apple tree to pick the apples, while Annabelle stays on the ground and catches them in the skirt of her apron. I’ll be finishing the girl’s petticoats and dresses this coming week. As I am sure you can tell from today’s previous posts, sweet Cloe has been here with us quite a bit lately, which means that grandma’s doll making schedule has had a few revisions… The twins come with matching antique pins, coral bead necklaces and their own trunk, which can hold all of their belongings. The twins ~~can be yours for $ 2765.00~~ are SOLD. Add an extra every day dress for each of them for $400.00, or matching party dresses for $500.00. Matching pinafore aprons like the one Hannah was wearing earlier today for an extra $300.00, or purchase my Izannah Walker doll clothes pattern and sew a wardrobe for the twins. The clothing pattern is $29.00 and is sized to fit 18 inch Izannahs so you’ll need to reduce it to 91% of full size to fit the Annas.

Izzybelle is SOLD

I have one sweet little 14.5 inch, barefoot Izzybelle ~~for sale~~ SOLD. She is $1300.00 and comes with a full set of underwear and a dress. You will be able to choose her clothing style and fabrics. Add handmade leather shoes and socks for $75.00, or an extra dress for $200.00 – $250.00. You can use my Izannah Walker doll clothes pattern to sew for Izzybelle if you reduce it to 82% of full size.

You’ve heard of having 2 left feet, as you can see I got quite the surprise when I started to put Izzybelle together today! I had four left arms!!! That probably tells you how my week has gone… Especially since I worked on those arms for over a week and didn’t notice!!! They are such NICE arms too… Never fear Izzybelle will be getting a right arm. I’m starting on it in the morning. 🙂

Click on any photo to enlarge.

Thank you for coming to meet Izzybelle, Annabelle & Annalee! They are pleased to make you acquaintance.

Additional Information

If you are interested in purchasing either the twins or Izzybelle, please email me at paula@asweetremembrance.com.

One more bedtime post to finish out our day at 10:00 Eastern time…

Happy 199th Birthday Izannah Walker – Part 4 – Blow Out the Candles!

September 25, 2016 paulawalton6 Comments

“Hannah, you and Ismay made a wonderful cake! It’s beautiful!” “Just in time, I hear all of our friends arriving.” “Eliza Jane, you and Ismay can go on up to the parlor. I’ll take off my apron and bring the cake up.”

“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Izannah…”

You may enlarge the photos and see the entire image by clicking on individual photographs in the montage.

The recipe for this year’s cake came from *American Cake* by Anne Byrn.

Ismay, Zola and Hannah made an Appalachian Apple Stack Cake, with moist buttermilk layers and spiced apple filling. The story, which I am very fond of, goes like this; each family invited to a wedding would bring one layer of cake, all of the layers were stacked together to form the wedding cake. I’ve also heard this cake called a prairie wedding cake and have seen reference to each family bringing a different flavored cake layer. ❤

At 7:00 p.m. I have a few new dolls who would like to make your acquaintance. I hope you will be able to come back to meet them and then return one final time today at 10:00 p.m. Eastern time for our bedtime post. 🙂
