INDIVIDUAL
SMALL ACCESSORIES
Everything is about 1" tall except the spoolrack, slate, peg wooden and printed cat
which are under 2". All of these came from other places
in my dollmaking, but I use them over and over in lots of settings,
so you might too. The pincushion has real pins, the peg wooden
doll is jointed wood, the flat iron is cast for me in darkened
pewter, the spoolrack has 5 spools wound with colorful thread
and a pincushion on top, the pulltoys are painted
wood with real wheels and the spool set has 4 stacked and wound
spools.

DOLL'S
SEWIES FOR ACCESSORIES: These items come as a very sweet
and fun kit for small dolls or items can be ordered finished.
Early American ladies spent much time on their needlework which
was often kept in their pockets (a pouch that hung from their
waists). This is basically a set of miniature working
brass scissors with a complementary set of patterns for
a tiny scissors case, flat tomato pincushion and a strawberry
emery. All items are well under an inch and easy to make from
your silk (or cotton) scraps. They are nice to hang from doll's
apron waist on a silk ribbon.

American Series or even Hitty, but could be a good toy for
any size doll or Santa. Kit has pulltoy ark with wheels, Noah,
and 4 sets of animals on small bases plus complete paints and
instructions. A pretty easy kit in spite of scale. Ark is about
2 inches long and animals are less than 1/2" tall. Kits were $48.

IZANNAH'S OWN STORY - A DOLL SIZE BOOK TO HOLD
The Remarkable
Dolls of Izannah Walker

information for a doll tag about Izannah Walker and her remarkable
dolls so I made a little hard bound book of this history
in a size just right for most Izannah dolls (10" and
up) to hold. Book size is 1-3/4" x 2-1/4".

 A SET OF TINY PRIMITIVE HOUSES
(3/4" tall to top of chimneys)
Tiny Houses - Set #1

A SET OF TINY PRIMITIVE HOUSES
For many years I have photographed some of my items with very tiny wooden houses for scale and for a pop of color. And of course as with appealing tiny things, I have gotten many inquiries about how to get them. The ones I have I purchased at a show where the maker, Christopher Gurshin (a wonderful early mural style painter), and I were both selling and I think I may have spent all my profits in his booth on the tiny houses he had, even though they were very costly. I never regretted the purchases or the new friendship. Later I tried to order more but alas he would not make more.
Many years before that, I made my own tiny houses as part of a tiny village shown at the NY Gift Show that was going to become a kit but which never happened because at the same time my Early American Doll Series did come out and eclipsed all other projects for many years. Until now. This is the first set of 4 tiny houses and I am working on a second set which will have other varied shapes and include a tiny church.These are all done by me personally and signed and dated on the bottoms. They are made to order with a 30 day wait for delivery.

PRINTED
CATS WITH GW SPECIAL AGING
These printed cats are done for me by the yard by Jocelyn Benzaia,
a friend and customer. But since I like mine to look as old as
a small collection I had but which has now disintegrated due
to real age and exposure to light (I used to use them as photo
props until they fell apart), I age these two sizes and you would
never know they weren't over 100 years old like the originals
and stuff them with real wool. These will last for another hundred
years as props in your doll setting or use the small size as
an accessory to larger dolls (16-18"). Small is 3" tall
