What a find! I've been hitting the jackpot at my favorite 2nd hand stores in West Seattle lately. There have been sales upon sales. One day a 50% off sign was the siren song that drew me into the Discovery shop's annual antique sale. I found this handmade doll with its set of adorable homemade clothes. The soft doll was like new and nestled with her wardrobe in an old time Nordstrom Christmas Box. There was even some pretty material included that the original owner must have planned to use for making future outfits for the doll. I tried to imagine who was the lady who had sewn all these things that showed so much loving care in the making. And who was the little girl she had in mind when making all these beautiful little things. In its charming presentation it showed how much it meant to the owner. I'd wished that the person who had done all this would know how much it was appreciated and how it would be cared for. In her new home, she has been named 'Lessy doll' by Bianca and they do seem made for each other and are even a bit of look alikes.

That was a spectacular find. You can use your new sewing skills to make some of that extra material into little dresses. Bianca looks adorable with her new daughter!
