Posh Primitive Dolls

It's been a busy August for me. Lots happening and not much time to blog.
Spent a lovely week in a very quiet cottage in Mid Wales on the Pembrokeshire coast.
Finished the Travelling Doll Project, such fun and lots of good friendships made. And have got my super doll back. I will post pics later. She really is a stunner and I am so lucky to have had such great doll artists working on her.
Made some new curtains for the living room ( oh heavy work when they are so big and lined too!). Repainted the walls as well.
And have been finishng my Paper clay dolls that I started some time ago.
Posh and Primitive Dolls using some really special antique materials from my collection.
Let me introduce you to the Ladies of the Manor.



Lady Makepiece, head of the Household of Makepiece Manor.


Lady Prudence, daughter of Lord and Lady Makepiece.

Mistress Broomstick, spinster sister in Law to Lady Makepiece.


And this is Lady Purseglove, neighbour to the Makepieces. A bit of a Lady, married and widowed three times. Rich and a man hunter.
I've listed them on etsy so pop over and have a look. Please leave any comments and ask any questions about the family.
