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
She is
wearing a red blouse over which is a scalloped edge pinafore dress made from a
lovely country floral stripe fabric, with pretty red shell buttons on the
straps: her lace trimmed bloomers are made from the same fabric. The ribbon in
her brown hair and her shoes are both a burgundy colour and she has white laced
trimmed socks. She carries her own little teddy bear. She is approximately 47
cms (18½ inches) in length, top to toe!
No. 2 – Pretty in Pink
SOLD - thank you Gail
She is
wearing a sweet pink dress, which is made up of a polka dot top with a floral fabric
for the skirt. Her lace trimmed bloomers are made from the same floral fabric,
and she too has a burgundy colour ribbon in her brown hair and burgundy shoes -
she has white lace trimmed socks. She must be on her way out somewhere special
as she also has her little pearl necklace on. She too carries her own little
teddy bear. She is approximately 47 cms (18½ inches) in length, top to toe!
No. 3 – Sleepy Time
This little
lady is ready for her bed and so is dressed in a peach floral pair of pyjamas,
trimmed with contrasting lace, ribbon and buttons. She has a peachy, orange
colour ribbon in her hair and sweet little green shoes over her white socks. In order to make sure she is snugly warm in bed, she has remembered her
hot water bottle and to make sure she gets up on time in the morning, has her
very own orange alarm clock. She is approximately 47 cms (18½ inches) in
length, top to toe!
No. 4 – Garden Girl
This pretty
little lady has been picking roses from her garden, which she is carrying. She
is wearing her pretty pink rosy, ribbon trimmed dungarees over a burgundy
colour blouse, which has a nice big bow. Her hair is burgundy colour too, tied
with a lovely lime green ribbon. Her shoes are burgundy in colour and she has
white lace trimmed socks. She is approximately 47 cms (18½ inches) in length,
top to toe!
No. 5 – English Lavender
This sweet
girl is all in lilac. Her dress has a cream top with a lovely lilac floral
skirt, which has a pretty lace trimmed scallop edge: the top is decorated with
3 purple shell buttons and purple spotty ribbon around the waist. Her bloomers
are also in the same lilac floral fabric and are lace trimmed. She has lilac
colour shoes and white lace trimmed socks on. Her light brown hair has a lovely
fleck of lilac running through it and is topped with a cream ribbon. She
carries her own lavender fairy bag. She is approximately 47 cms (18½ inches) in
length, top to toe
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.
