Dolly,
Dilly the butterfly
and Olive the tiny teddy
Standing 6" high, Dolly is made from ratinee mohair and has a fixed head, thread jointed arms and legs, and is wearing a little reversible dress made from vintage oilily fabrics.
She comes with her pet butterfly, Dilly, who is made from felt and wire, and a very tiny teddy bear named Olive - who is also made from felt and snugly wrapped up in her own vintage oilily blanket, ready for cuddling.
Dolly is a thoroughly modern miss - hence her love of oilily, so she will need to go a to a loving home willing to indulge her love of fashion and the high life.
This little trio with these fabrics are a one off combination, and will come to you in a hand painted wooden chest to keep them safe and warm on their journey.
Due to extremely small parts, Dolly is not suitable for small children. Although you can always buy her for yourself, and pretend it's for your daughter when she gets older. Ha !
She comes with three shrinky dink charms, and if you bid and win, please let me know that you read my blog, and I will throw in some other little bits and pieces too.
The e-bay link is here, : )
Do you know, it took me three hours to work out how to list her on e-bay . THREE HOURS ! - how can anybody take that long ??? I've had a baby quicker than that.I think I have 'instructions dyslexia' - I stare at the screen and my mind goes blank.
Thank you everyone , for your kind words of encouragement and for the very helpful advice on my last post.
I hope you have a swell weekend.
Your link is working! Oh my, Dolly is fantastic and you are extremely brave in listing something on Ebay!! I keep telling my husband that by buying certain treasures I will sell them on Ebay and make a bit of pocket money! Well...I've yet to and keep putting it off! I really hope this experience works for you and that you'd do it again...how else will I get my hands on one of your wonderful creations! :)

Ooh, she is gorgeous indeed. I'd like her for myself. ANYONE would want her.

so SO gorgeous! Great job.
[no, we've not met...but I've been a lurker for awhile...I guess Dolly brought me out of hiding]

What a sweetie pie! She is doing very well on ebay and with 2 more days to go....I really hope this will be the start of many more sweet bears to come; like everyone else, I sure would love to have one. Have a wonderful weekend; I'm tickled pink for you!
Posted by: debbie | February 17, 2006 at 09:51 PM
You win the best-packaging-ever-hands-down-you-rock award! Wow. So adorable. :)
Posted by: laurie | February 17, 2006 at 10:00 PM
omg, darling, that is adorable. you really should consider opening an Etsy shop. I love mine as you well know.
Posted by: KiWi | February 17, 2006 at 10:03 PM
You've done it again!!! So Sweet...
Posted by: Dawn | February 17, 2006 at 10:07 PM
:O My goodness Dolly is just wonderful!!! I wish I had the money to buy her!
Posted by: Niina | February 17, 2006 at 11:42 PM
Wow!! Her little toys are the best! I would purchase her for the packaging alone - although I'm looking at her being for future grandchildren at this point. Don't feel bad about eBay - I like to consider myself pretty computer savvy and I think their entire interface is a pain.

Love it all, so much thought and care put into all the pieces! Good luck with the auction, hope you make a ton-o-cash!!!

She is darling enough alone, but with the box? Just perfect.
Posted by: Linda | February 18, 2006 at 12:13 AM
Ohhhhh, bless! She is perfect.
Posted by: Erika | February 18, 2006 at 12:43 AM
I love it. So sweat! My daughter would love it.
Posted by: Susana Roxo | February 18, 2006 at 12:48 AM
oh she is a darling love--and with all her extras, the bidding wars will continue--but me dear, only three days? It shall end all too soon.
Of course, I know nothing about fashion and couldn't help her at all--I'm so sorry that has to be a prerequisite.
As for ebay, u are braver than me--I have a huge pile of little boy clothes sitting in the living room waiting for me to get on with it already!
Teach me...please in one email--
ha ha
Good luck with it! You are on your way to success--i see it clearly!

How cute! The extra little touches really are sweet. Gives her a personality. I'm sure she will be a big hit.
Posted by: Gina l | February 18, 2006 at 01:38 AM
wow. you made a real cutey! every detail is too much! i'd love her for myself. alas, no moola. sniff.

We're having lots of fun watching your auction! We're wondering how high your top bidder is planning to go!! Glad to see you went with a minimum bid (**grabs lapels and declares "That was my idea" in a Vic Reevesian sort of way**). Don't forget to take a print of your final page as evidence of your desirabilty to shopkeepers etc. Well done!!
Posted by: Kate | February 18, 2006 at 09:31 AM
Lyn, she is absolutely beautiful! Whoever takes her home is very lucky. :)
Posted by: Fiona | February 18, 2006 at 01:04 PM
Oh...my....God....she is the most adorable thing! And the box, you think of everything!
