Inspiration

For a long time I have been in love with the joy that is playing with dolls.  It started with A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the vivid memory of all the finery that her new doll had, and imagine going into a shop and having clothes made specifically for a doll! 

As a child I played with dolls and was particularly taken with a My Child doll, it being, in my humble opinion, a prettier doll than the Cabbage Patch, which I wasn't allowed anyway!  But joy of joys it was possible to buy additional clothes for the My Child doll, fond memories and now my daughter happily plays with the doll too.

My lovely doll, name forgotton though!

Now as an adult and a mother of a daughter my dolly interests have piqued again.  At a young age it is already important for my daughter to be able to dress and undress her doll and being able to sew I could provide her doll with a selection of clothes appropriate for that days play. 

My intention is that this blog will be full of dolly goodness and give a little insight into my fledgling Etsy shop!
