Nona

Introducing Nona in her French finery. 
I've dressed her in a delicious collection of antique textiles,
including this rare toile for her skirt, which has had a previous life...
It had a scalloped edge, tattered from being salvaged many years ago...which I have embraced and used as the hemline.
Beneath this she has a check muslin petticoat and bloomers with hand embroidered broderie anglaise at the knees.  
She is another piece created for the Dorset Brocante next month.
I am also in the process of relaunching my on-line shop with a new look and will add some of my handmade dolls as time allows.  
Other pieces that I have been working on are lots of handmade greetings cards created from antique ephemera...

Special one-off gift ideas in hand decorated boxes...
And embellished vintage treasures found along the way...
