Vintage Dolls

I have been doing a bit more research to find out about my dolls. I am just so in love with them. I found out they are referred to as Travel Dolls made by the Duchess Doll Corp in the 1940's and 50's. One vendor at a flea market told me, she was told some were given away at gas stations.

Over the weekend I found my first boy doll (upper right corner) along with other girl dolls of various sizes. I am excited to inspire other gardener/artists to rescue them and create a one of a kind garden fairy.

Waiting for new homes.

Potential Fairies

Ever since I met the Seven Gypsy Fairies I knew that these fairies belonged in my yard. They are not for sale! However, I encourage anyone interested in these fairies to get acquainted with the fairies in your own garden. I am sure the right representation of your fairy or fairies (in my case seven) will appear along your path. It may take some time. Put it out to the Universe and it will happen at the right time.
I am happy to share some of my "make over tips" if you find some vintage dolls. I am no doll repair expert but, I am sure the internet is full of them.

My mantra for creativity : "If you don't feed it, It won't grow!" This is where gardening principals join art.

I got this text with picture from my daughters: Potential Fairies

I adore how my girls wear their fairy wings into adulthood.
