Little Miss Grace has her locks

She is smiling I’m sure ..little Grace has her hair 

I bought her as an  Armand Marseille

But she could be a Kessner ..trying to find her age and saw a photo of a Kessner that’s was identical to Grace 

She now deserves a beautiful outfit ..although her little crochet dress looks nicer now she has a bow ❤️
 

Grace gets a little clean

Grace cleaned up beautiful with a soft toothbrush and a little swarfega .The glue came off her head really easy , her old hair ..to be ho eat there wasn’t much , so I stuffed it inside her head , I’ve bought a beautiful strawberry blonde mohair , I want to give her a short shoulder length look ,.I touched her paintwork up on her face and boots ..complimenting the colours that were left , not painting over them ,with watercolours and Matt sealed them ,

Next I will make her hair , I curled some hair on some knitting needles and dunked them in hot water …it’s been years since I’ve done this…I used to do the dollhouse dolls hair this way 

Next when they are dry I will carefull add the hair 

 

I am making bears n rabbits ..honest

 But I had to finish this for my beautiful dinning room

Little things make me so happy

 New note pad for shopping ❤️

And Bic pen 💚💚💚💚💚

When I was a child ..

 One Christmas my mother bought me a book , all about dolls , I dreamt of owning these beautiful old treasures .. I didn’t think it likely ..I loved the tiny dolls in their trunks , with their outfits ..only dreaming I would own one 

Sunday this little girl arrived 

I’ve called her Grace , she’s beautiful 

I’ve named her after my Granddaughter ..

And I plan on restoring her ..making her very own travelling trunk ..she’s very exited ..and already tried on shoes …

I was quite surprised she arrived Sunday ..we never have Mail on that day ..but she did ..and I’m thrilled 

Almost as thrilled and the Big Bic pen …with Bic pens inside …and unicorns ! Again as a child ..I wanted these pens so bad at School …. I loved how the colours changed and that satisfying click as you do so …I’m even more exited as one of these has a pencil in too 

I’m going to fish out my watercolours and journals ..I can feel some painting coming on ❤️❤️❤️❤️
