Amy Anna

would like a new dress to celebrate the arrival of some new members to the Doll Family at Bleat'n Hum baa Farm'n Fiber.

She is finding inspiration from 

"A is For Anna Bell"

and

"The Dolls' Christmas"

By Tasha Tudor 

Missie and Mildred offered to help me with the project 

and Missie will learn how to use a treadle

 (perhaps Friend Miss Tillie Tinkham  

Seamstress Mouse at Corgyncombe

can share some pointers)

MaMa Mildred is eager to start measuring!

Pollina would like a pretty dress too!

And also would like a red wool peddler's cape and goods.

Aunt Bitty does not approve!

(actually she never approves of anything....

in fact her last name is Bitterish)

Beautiful "Bella" joined in March

Bella

And Sisters "

Miss Mamie and Miss Emily .....

..... joined only weeks ago! 

They were sitting in an old restaurant

decorated and packed with many antique curiosities

all dusty and with price tags on all!

Ten dollars for each doll!!! But I only chose one!

 The lady said that the dolls were from a collector who made clothes and repaired old dolls. Home I went in love indeed....but a sleepless night 

sent me soon back for the other and a HAPPY reunion was a grand result!!!

  ..~.~..

"It's an anxious, sometimes 

dangerous thing to be a doll.

Dolls can not choose;

they can only be chosen;

they cannot "do";

they can only be done by;

..~.~..

Children who do not understand 

this often do wrong things,

and then the dolls are 

hurt and abused and lost;

and when this happens

dolls cannot speak,

nor do anything except

be hurt and abused and lost.

  ..~.~..

                                                               

                                                              If you have any dolls 

you should remember that."

This is PAMMY!

My very FIRST bestist ever Dolly

since I was 2yrs 

we were inseparable

(in braids)

 with her long time friends 

Bitzy and Gretalynn

My Grandma "Omi" made this for Pammy.

Once as a Child my family had the great opportunity

 to visit a museum in Chicago. I was allowed to pick 

a souvenir and this beautiful Japanese Doll was my choise!

 Here is Mini and Minier along with Peg-doll Penny

and some Amish lill'ins

An Aunt who lived in New Mexico

used to send me the neatest gifts for no reason,

and Heidi was the most beloved surprise in a package!

The Older Girls down the street out grew Ginny, (right)

 and Cecile was acquired when I was a Teen at a yard sale

(She wants the Teddy)!

A pair of Dutch Dolls
brought back by Mommy
from a visit to Germany

Sweet yard sale finds

Greek Dolls
brought back by an Aunt

There Is Another Sky

By Emily Dickinson

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!
