Taking custom doll orders now for the Holidays!
I am making a big batch of dolls right now so it's a good time to get your custom doll order in for the Holidays. I won't be able to take any more custom orders after November 15 because I get busy with craft sales and everything gets so hectic around that time. The best way to order is to look over this page, and send me an email (with custom doll as the subject) with your preferences. I will most likely be finished with your doll in about 2 weeks. When I have finished I'll send you an invoice through Paypal for payment. You can't pick specific fabrics for the clothes but you can let me know color preferences. I'll also be updating my shop with other dolls so there's always that option as well.
I know many of you have mentioned saving up for a doll as a Holiday gift so now is your chance!
thanks!

A little creepy.
This is what my desk currently looks like, kinda creepy, don't you think?

Paper chandelier craze.
You may have all noticed there is a trend with the crafty blogs with paper chandeliers lately. It started a few years ago when I bought this paper chandelier at the Polish Art Center in Hamtramck Michigan. When I bought it, it was old and faded which I loved. The colors were muted, but now a few years later they are even more pastel. Here is what it looks like now...
You can see it's based on a spider web pattern, Pajaki means spider in Polish.
Lena Corwin decided to make some to sell at the Brooklyn Flea. A little brighter.
And Sarah Neuburger, from The Small Object, made these. I love the range of colors!

Street find.
I always love picking up finds in the streets that can be transformed with a little TLC. My husband always rolls his eyes and tries to dissuade me when we come upon something awesome. This time he even agreed this little table had potential. It was definitely a little worse for wear (including bubble gum stuck to the bottom!). A little primer and glossy oil paint and it's a perfect little plant stand.
This is what it looked like before....

Brooklyn Flea in Dumbo this Sunday!
First, thanks to all who placed orders for dolls earlier this week. It felt good to have such a nice response to my dolls. I now am completely sold out (except for a few for sale at this Sunday's sale!) so it will be a little while before I have more dolls for sale in my shop. There are still some doll shirts and dresses left though.
This week the Flea Design Coop will be taking place at the DUMBO location under the Brooklyn Bridge on Sunday from 11am-6pm. I'm going to be there for part of the day, so come by and say hello. The weather is looking good for Sunday.
Here are some pictures from the first Flea Design Coop a few weeks ago.

Shop update!
I've just updated my shop with dolls, elephants and giraffes. Please take a look. I still have to list doll clothes yet, will work on it this afternoon. Much small scale ironing to do! I have also added many different kinds of doll clothes and felt coats. If you have ordered a doll in the past this is your chance to stock up on some extra clothes.

Shop update Monday!
So obviously I didn't get it together this week for a shop update.
This time I really promise that Monday there will be MANY new dolls,
doll clothes, elephants, giraffes, felt coats and maybe a few other
things added to the shop on Monday. Thanks so much for your patience. I always just underestimate how long everything will take.
Important Note: The Flea Design Coop is canceled this weekend due to rain. I will be selling again on October 24 and 31 so check out the flea on those days. Thanks to everyone who came to it last weekend. Please tell all your friends too, we'd love to have a great turnout next week.
