Bunchy & Tinka

 

How sweet is this. An illustration from one of my Mothers books from when she was little. "Bunchy and Tinka" written in the late 40s/early 50s.
Well I've still been super busy finalising wholesale orders. Longing for some free time to wander around blogland and see what you have all been up to.

Edwina

 

A big Hello!!
I am back from a few weeks away visiting my family.
It's so nice to get back home after a long holiday. Back to my work and my blog and my dolls.
This little gal has been waiting patiently in my studio since before I went away. Waiting for a new home. She is now available in my etsy shop.
She is a little different to most of my dolls of late. She has actually been in the making for some time and began life with a completely different intention. So she is quite special, and unique.
I have been busy since I got back last week making more dolls for stores in Melbourne. I came home to some bummy news...That a parcel of my dolls was lost in the post :( Fifteen dolls! Lost! So yes I am making more.
Of course I should have sent them registered post. But I was trying to keep the already xxy cost down. Aaargh. I have learnt my lesson. Always send valuable parcels registered or express.
I now imagine them floating about Melbourne appearing in trees and sitting at bus seats, looking forlornly lost and alone. Or perhaps they are living it up making the most of their freedom from the shackles of being bought and sold.
...Girls if you are reading this please go home!
