I am not interested in buying clothes for myself, or jewels etc, as some women do...all of my 'pocket money' goes on old stuff! To be honest, it is usually cheaper to buy old rather than new. I shop at flea markets and fairs and also the web. (I don't always manage to find things.) <BR/>Good luck with your searches and have fun!<BR/><BR/>Hi Clare,<BR/>I have made some of the dolls clothes, such as the lace dresses on my wooden pin dolls. Others are original - which is always preferable.<BR/><BR/>Niki.Niki Fretwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453900065526512512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-45888022035410872452007-03-02T22:12:00.000+00:002007-03-02T22:12:00.000+00:00The doll is lovely!

The fabric she was wrapped in is a Bakers or Parkerknoll(Bakers I think) fabric that my Sister had a hand in designing. She used to work for GP and J Baker as a textile designer. I used to have quite a lot of the rosebud fabric that 'somehow' made it's way from their studio!(its ok it was samples) I made it into a lovely tablecloth and napkins for Mum to use in the garden for afternoon tea. It's a very pretty design. So where is the newest doll going to live?Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071061655794919090noreply@blogger.com
