INSPIRED BY TILDA!

A BIG THANK YOU TO ILANA - THE REMAINING 5 DOLLS ARE NOW ALL SOLD!!

She is back by popular demand – well, by a couple of admirers at least!! But only for this short limited time.

I did say a couple of years ago I wasn’t going to make any more of these dolls (and I meant it at the time!) and that’s because they simply take so long to make. Like so many others, I work full time. However, recently I received two requests from a couple of very kind ladies. My gut reaction at the time was “NO more”, but then I gave it a bit of thought and decided I would, just on this occasion, make a couple of dolls – then I thought, well hey, why not make several. The first time I made the dolls was in 2009, and then I made another couple in 2011; I also refused quite a few other requests at the time, however, this DEFINITELY is it – I won’t be making anymore after these. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!! I imagine the two ladies who recently enquired about them have by now given up on me as I said it may take a few weeks or so ........ well, it’s been more like a few months!!

So, here we have not just two, but six ‘Tilda’ inspired rag dolls for sale. The cost is £50.00 (UK Sterling) per doll, plus postage as follows:-

• UK standard - £5.50
• UK tracked - £6.50
• Europe standard - £7.00
• Europe tracked - £12.00
• Rest of the world (USA, Canada, Brazil etc) - £10.00
• Rest of the world (USA, Canada, Brazil etc) tracked - £15.50
• Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand standard - £11.00
• Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand tracked - £16.50

 Payment by PAYPAL only please

The price of the dolls reflects the time each one takes (which is forever!!!), plus the cost of the materials – believe me, I don’t make much on them. And unfortunately, postage, particularly abroad, is rather pricey and we’ve had some big postal price increases lately in the UK.

 

So here goes:-

 

No. 1 – Country Girl

And last but not least 

No. 6 – Lady in Red

This young lady is a little bit posh and is all dressed up for an evening out. She has on a beautiful red with black heart spot dress, trimmed with black lace and a big bow at the front at her waist. Underneath the dress, her lace trimmed bloomers match her dress, but most special of all is the red netting underskirt, which makes her dress stand right out. Her black shoes have a red shiny button on the top and she has a red bead bracelet around her wrist. Her hair is black, which shows off her lovely red ribbon and she has been given a little bunch of red roses – somebody must think she’s rather special, which of course she is. She is approximately 47 cms (18½ inches) in length, top to toe!

Each doll has a 'Handmade at Bilberry Grove' label sewn into the leg and also a pretty tag made by me, using some lovely country style papers, with a pearl button on each one.
