"New" Doll, Nests, and Hope

Here is the sweet 'new' doll I found.
Not sure just when I started liking them,
but if it is crackled, aged, a bit raggedy,
I'm drawn to it.
Oh, has to have just that certain personality/look too.
One of those 'you know it when you see it' things.

Her eyes open and close. Love that.

I have friends who restore old dolls.
I will ask them the best way to clean her and her clothes up.

And maybe fix her lips.
They are distracting I think.
But, if that is the way she came originally,
I will leave them.

She came in this little woolen coat.

and this sweet little dress which even has a slip under it.
All very thin, fine material. I do not want it
to disintegrate when it is cleaned.

And I'll ask my friend if she is at all valuable.
She has some markings on her neck.

Here are some little tags I am making.
Got the tags at a garage sale,
tea stained them, stamped them
and wallah! Cute tags.
And we can all use a little hope.


And I'm braggin' on my students who
made some cute nests Monday in class.
It was our first nest class at the store.
Old Trowel. (sorry for sideways pic)
a burned out candle. clever.
Go HERE to see rest of class pics.
Go HERE to see about next Monday's class.
