~* Lookie! It Is Give~Away Time Again!*~




That's right! I'm going to give this lil' dolly away to a new home. She is a simple, rag~stuffed, stump, church prairie dolly that I have made with my own hands. She is about 9 inches from the top of her bonnet to the edge of her hem-less dress. She is a stump doll ~ meaning she has no legs. Her body is made of osnaburg & rag~stuffed. Her dress is a simple cotton print with a pinkish background. Her bonnet is a piece of an olde grain sack that has been tied to her with jute. Her apron? It is a OOAK cross stitch done with brown~gray, cotton threads on a scrap piece of linen. I have just simply pinned it to her dress with some rusty ol' pins. I've also tucked in a piece of sweet annie for a nice scent.



Do you have a place for her in your primitive, home? Please sign up for the drawing by leaving a comment here on this post. I will be drawing the winner on Wednesday, April 9th, 2008.... sometime in the evening. When you sign up... please make sure I have a way to get back with you if you are the winner. There is only one dolly ~ this dolly ~ being given away. I will be mailing her out FREE to the lucky winner. Why am I doing this? Because this is my year of giving! I have to keep up with my New Year's resolution.

I am listing another dolly that is similar to this one my Lemon Poppy Shoppe soon. Actually, I have made a few more... and will keep offering them on one spot or another.... but this one is my gift to one of my lucky friends.

Many smiles to you!

  38. Pick ME says Olivia...I will carry her around and treasure her always, only coating her with bits of kitty sloberr and nibbling off bits if I'm very hungry....No, pick ME says Chester, I will give her to my Mom to put on a shelf and enjoy...and every time I see Olivia looking at it I will smile to myself, thinking that's what you get for being a bad girl and eating rusty bells and scraps of wool...

  84. Betty,
    I visit your site often but have not done so recently since my son and his wife had a preemie (born 2 months early)and I've been helping to care for the "big sister" - she is 3 but he came home last night so I can go back to checking out my favorite sites. The doll is adorable and would love to be added to your list of possible winners but I realize how lucky I am to have been blessed with a little grandson. I will keep checking back - you are so talented AND creative. Keep your treasures coming please
