Serenity Folk Doll

Some of my favorite antique cloth dolls are quite quirky and often their arms and legs don't match as a reminder that handmade dolls were made with love not necessarily great skill. Or maybe the doll met with an accident and had to undergo a repair. Serenity was made like that too. Her legs aren't the same length although you might not notice it because while she's sitting her long modest dress covers them. Her face and hair are drawn on rather than stitched. Her hair which is penciled in is faded and is hard to show in the photos but definitely there. As is usual with the construction of my dolls, the fabrics will show areas of age and some spots are worn away as if played with and loved for many years. She is 12 inches tall and filled with wool stuffing. Please view all the photos. I am kindly asking $55 which includes the shipping fee.

“Purdy” in Pink folk dol

Purdue in pink is made with all the things that make us love folk dolls: repro pink fabric, thick cotton thread for hair, and rosy cheeks. For even greater charm she shows “wear and tear” with small scuffs in her dress and body as if lovingly played with throughout the years. Of course she isn’t really old, just worked hard on her to make it look that way. She reaches nearly 11 inches tall. All visible stitching is sewn by hand. Kindly asking $48 which includes her shipping.

Uncle Sam to the rescue!

Uncle Sam stands 17” in full glory. He wears a pair of patriotic suspendered pants and in true fashion, his suspenders crisscross in the back. His black shoes peek out of his pants and his hat is made from white wool. He holds a beautiful American Flag. Sammy would make an awesome addition to any home!

Miss Mabel Baker

Miss Mabel Baker has been working long and hard so please take a look at all the photos so you can see the areas that show wear for your approval. She is made out of cotton and stuffed with cotton batting from my leftover quilting. She is stuffed hard, not squishy. Her dress and apron fabrics are reproduction 1800s fabrics that have been aged with black coffee dye. Her face and hair have been stitched on with brown cotton thread. All her visible stitching has been done by hand. Miss Mabel Baker stands 16 1/2 inches tall. Her neck was a bit wobbly so it has been reinforced from the inside, adding a little bit more character to her legacy. I am kindly asking $88 which includes her travel fee. She is handmade using my own design in my pet-free, smoke-free home.

Flannel Jane

So soft and squishy, Flannel Jane is so very primitive and perfectly plain. Her flannel dress has been aged with black coffee dye and stitched with little tiny stitches onto her body. Somewhere in her travels she snagged a hole in her bodice and had to be mended with a small piece of blue striped ticking fabric. It's all good though because since she has no face or hair, you can decide which side to display - the mended side or the other. Her little flannel dress has a frayed bottom edge. Cute as a button and ready for travel. I am kindly asking $35 which includes her travel fee. She was handmade by me using my own design in my pet-free and smoke-free home. The wall pocket she is sitting in is not for sale. I use it to hold my rug hooks :)
