PLEASE BE AWARE that my website is an old-school one (by choice) and it does not auto deduct the number "in stock" of items available. I have to do this manually as fast as I can as orders come in. Also, your browser may "remember" how it last viewed a page, which could already have been updated by me in the background. This means with very limited stock of nearly all items, things may look like they are still available, but could have already been ordered by someone before you.

FINAL DAYS SALE

Gail's Clearance Sale & Announcements


This is my final sale. There are items listed on the links below to various categories of featured sale items. These items show their discounted prices. All other items from any of the website pages where items are still available - kits, patterns, finished items and supplies - WILL GET THE 25% SALE DISCOUNT off regular prices shown, but the discount will NOT show in your cart. We will apply the discount here as we sort and input all orders into our computer before charging you.

Here is the best part - a further 10% will be taken from your order’s total. And the discounts remain for all the last days, weeks or months.

Exclusions: Reprints and replacement items, all PDF's, my painting service and items with another discount.
• ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO EXCEPTIONS.
• MAY 31, 2026 WILL BE LAST DATE TO REQUEST REPLACEMENTS OF INSTRUCTIONS OR PAINTS.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Prices on the 3 Sale Pages below and on the Garage Sale Page already have their sale prices noted and those prices will show up in your cart. Any other items from other pages WILL GET THE SALE DISCOUNT, but the discount will NOT show in your cart. We will apply the discount here as we sort and input all orders into our computer before charging you.

HINT: Items that show up in your cart with "(sale)" have sale prices already. Items without "(sale)" do get the 25% sale discount applied when we process your order. And then a further 10% is taken from your order total.



TIP FOR VIEWING THE MANY ITEMS STILL AVAILABLE ON SALE:

The 3 links below have been divided into categories to keep organized and to provide an easier way to shop for items that are still available. Each category is linked to its own page to avoid having too many items on one page.
Click on the Buttons below which will open a new window with items in that category. The same categories also appear on the Garage Sale page.


The two boxes below are not clickable buttons like the 3 above, instead read which menu items
to click.

There are still many Hitty items available in Finished and Kits for her Clothing, Furniture, Accessories and Supplies. Click on the "Hitty Series" in the top menu bar to get to those pages. All items on the regular Hitty pages have regular prices which will show up in your cart but we will apply the 25% discount on all when we process your order, plus the overall 10% on the total.
There are many supply items still available in the Supplies Section. Click on the "Dollmaking Supplies" in the top menu bar to get to those pages, which also include Santa Makings. All items on the regular Supplies pages have regular prices which will show up in your cart but we will apply the 25% discount on all when we process your order, plus the overall 10% on the total.


AFTER 51 YEARS IN FULL TIME DOLLMAKING
FINAL DAYS ARE HERE

These now are really the final final days. As external issues including increased technology demands, obtaining supplies issues, lack of available qualified help, aging issues for myself, my husband, my workers and their families, and the declining market - to name a few factors, keep mounting up, I am face to face with the need to start putting the brakes on, well, everything. Sadly, it is no longer possible to sustain this small business.

Since I announced "the Final Days" last fall, I have been busier than ever before selling off as many things as are reasonable saleable at discounted prices. Selling out of all of my work, kits, patterns and supplies couldn't happen overnight and has indeed taken several more months than planned. Some items (patterns, kits, all Hitty kits and finished Hitty things) we continued to produce until supplies for these inevitably ran out. So, this follow up annoucement is to say, that all remaining items finished or kit are definitely in their final days.

I keep adding items we find in the attic and in the scores of storage boxes from all my years (51!) doll making. And I also have been selling my own shop samples (examples of my work) as I can bear to part with them. As I look ahead to the day I must retire the business, knowing it is a business impossible to sell, the only value I can retain is and will be selling all of these items. One must be realistic about just how much stuff one can fit into a retirement home. So, keep looking on these sale pages as I continue to smallen down.

So, what will be next? It will be hard for me to stop designing and making things to sell. I have been doing this since I was a little girl and at age 16, I opened a tiny shop to sell my hand made things in a former chicken coop which I renovated (including a re-roof) all myself (having been left home alone for a long weekend).

Into the future some ideas include re-issuing favorite kits or offer very small editions of favorites of my dolls, or even a new doll, or item. Once this website becomes outdated and cumbersome, I may start a blog. I will keep the mailing list to let customers know.


TERMS OF SALES (please read)

SALE PRICES AND DISCOUNTS DO NOT SHOW IN CART :
Please note that the only prices that will reflect sale discounts are those items with links on this sale page and the Garage Sale Page. All other stuff ordered on other pages will not have sale prices show up in your cart, unless it states otherwise - we will apply the discounts here when we invoice.

WHEN IS YOUR ORDER CHARGED?
Remember that when you place an order on my website, even though you give your credit card info, they are not automatically charged. Rather we manually collect the orders and then manually charge here after we apply any discounts. In cases where you order something that will take more time (for me to make it), we charge a deposit (20% - non-refundable) then the balance when the order is ready to ship.

CONFIRMING ORDERS:
You will receive an automatic response to placing an order online, but I will follow up with an individual response once I see what is on your order and can then determine if any items were sold out and a shipping date.

LAYAWAYS:
Layaways are no longer an option.
SALE DISCOUNT EXCEPTIONS:
All items already discounted may not be also on sale, including Garage Sale items, items part of any club, items not yet in production or new(unless otherwise stated), PDF copies of patterns, reprints, my painting services and a few items marked individually on the website and may not be applied to orders already in place. If some items sell out, you may be offered a raincheck for the same sale discount with a later delivery.
