	"A IS FOR ANNABELLE" - ANOTHER EDITION of 12 SCHEDULED FOR FALL DELIVERY - PRE-ORDER NOW These dolls are everyone's favorites and sold out twice. A new edition of 12 is being prepared for fall '22. I can only do this because I recently found someone who is willing (and able) to crochet her snoods. Her price is $795. She can be pre-ordered and reserved for a deposit of $150 Add to Cart HERE IS HER OLD BLURB: Announcing a 9" papier mache doll inspired by "A is for Annabelle" by Tasha Tudor. She came about originally for a doll for a Tasha Tudor workshop. Most of my customers are very familiar with the wonderful works of Tasha Tudor and indeed I have been inspired by her images since I first saw them in 1980. My Annabelle version will be recognized from the cover of the alphabet book shown below. She will have a blonde mohair wig with a handcrocheted snood (hard to see in the picture), wearing a bonnet with lace ruffle trim, a pink gingham dress in the late 1800's style with full petticoat and pantalets and pink leather slippers. The doll will come with a wooden stand and a lace trimmed handkerchief with the letter A embroidered as her accessory.

Some Fun Information from Gail My husband and I are addicted to some bird identification software that I had got on my various computers and my iPhone several years ago but had not realized until recently that it had vastly improved. It is called Merlin and put out by the Cornell Lab on bird study. You can find it in the App store. The function that was new (to us) was that you can choose "Sound ID" and your phone will listen (and listen so well it is incredible) and start plopping in a picture of the bird it hears and then any others singing separately or amazingly together. It will highlight whoever is singing at that moment and you can go into each bird and click on its sound (see the green down arrows in the photo of my phone) so you will be able to identify it later. You can save the lists of what comes up in any session. The picture is of a few minutes while I was setting up this sale. Those 6 birds were singing outside my workroom door which I opened and held my phone out the door. The ability of it to pick up birds you didn't even realize you were hearing is simply breathtaking. We pride ourselves on being pretty knowledgeable about our local birds, but we realized we were about to learn we were missing a whole lot.
