<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Welcome back everyone! It is hard to believe four years have gone by since I have stopped by to visit and post my last blog. There is nothing else I can say other than life has really gotten in the way for a long time now. I will explain all that better soon but for today I thought I would post something just to see if I remembered how to do this. Could be a challenge! I am still here and still making dolls along with the many other things that I do. I love to keep busy, sometimes a little bit too much, lifestyle changes here at home take an extreme about of time out of daily life. Will explain that more later also. So, I am going to make today's post pretty short and sweet just as a test run. </span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I just finished this beautiful Bru Jne 8 and wanted to share her with all of you. She was made from the VL-27 Bru Jne 8 Virginia LaVorgna head mold. This doll is perfection at its best. Her porcelain head is on a FB14S composition body from New York Doll Products. <span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">She stands 18 1/2″ tall on her wooden base doll stand (a</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">llowing height on shelf for stand and hat, doll alone is 17″ tall). The wooden base doll stand is included. She has beautiful light blue Schoepfer paperweight eyes with intense depth, the photos just do not do the eyes justice. She has a striking vintage new (never used) old store stock Cheveux French Human Hair wig from the late 1980’s.The costume is made from a beautiful shade of purple “raw” silk. The dress with antique lace trim and a bonnet was created by Pam Willits. She also has a beige cotton slip and underwear, along with cream hand made leather shoes and hand crocheted cotton stockings.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "comic sans ms"; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"> </span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I have her for sale on both my website and eBay (yes I have started listing items again in my eBay store). I will include a link to both places at the bottom of this post. Here are some more photos of this beautiful Bru Jne 8. It is really hard to decide but I think Bru's are my favorite! But then I have a tendency to say that about whatever doll I am working on. LOl! </span></span></h3>

Good evening all, I hope you are having a great weekend! I wanted to let you all know I have listed a beautiful 29″ Bru 14 painted head with Hand English brown paperweight eyes on ebay tonight in a 5 day auction. Due to the size of this doll I have decided it would be much easier to sell her as a head only with eyes, then she can be wrapped really well for shipping. Someone may have already the FB230S composition body that she needs,and will be able to pop the head on and have an exquisite 29″ Bru 14 to dress. Even if you need to purchase the body, it is much easier and less expensive to safely ship the head and the body separately. Also, currently the body (FB230S) is on sale from me for 20% off the retail price. Regularly $198.00 on sale for $159.00. (All composition bodies are on sale until November 30th). Discounted prices will not register in shopping cart buttons you must email me for special pricing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.25rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
The 5 day auction listing consists of the painted head, Hand English paperweight eyes, and cork pate. The head is ready to attach to a body. The wig is not included in the listing but I do have it available in several colors. The hat she is shown in is also not included, it is only for decorative purposes so you can see how beautiful she will be once she is dressed. Here is a link to the ebay listing:</div>

Good evening everyone! I just returned home from the doll-makers show in Midwest City, Oklahoma. Many thanks to Jody Cook, of Our Villa Dolls, and all of the ladies from their group for a great show and wonderful banquet! Dennis and I really had a wonderful time seeing old friends we hadn't had a chance to visit with for several years now.<br />
<br />
As most of you know, I mainly concentrate on creating antique reproduction dolls, but occasionally I like to mix in a few modern dolls. I love doing painted eyes. I have a special order that has been sitting here for months waiting for me to get started on it. It will be a 19" all-porcelain Portrait #5 sculpted by Dianna Effner. The mold was produced and sold through Expressions. This doll was chosen for me to do by my client,as it looks like his granddaughter. After I have finished her, I will post some photos of her. In the meantime, here are a few photos of dolls I did with painted eyes several years back.<br />

The little 10" doll above is "Little Lou", another Dianna Effner sculpture from Expressions. This is one of my favorite little modern dolls of all times. I painted her with brown eyes. She is wearing a dress that was created by Sue Sharp of "The Sharp Needle".<br />
<br />
I hope you have enjoyed my little tour of a few of the modern dolls I have made. Have a great evening!<br />
Until next time,<br />

Good morning everyone! I had a few minutes and wanted to share with you some of my latest dolls. If I had to choose an absolute favorite antique doll it would probably be the Bru, even though I love them all!

Finally after two years, I will have the "Googly Hand Mirror" Kits available for purchase. I taught the "Googly Mirror" workshop back in February of 2012, but have never had the time to get more kits ready for sale and finish the detailed, pictured instructions. I will be teaching this workshop at the Oklahoma City Expo 2014 on September 27th. This was the driving factor in finally completing more kits. Here is a link to info on the show if you are in the Oklahoma City area:<br />

</div>
Good morning all, I wanted to let all of you know about the new developments at Land of Oz Dolls this summer. When my dad died 10 years ago, I inherited a small 900 plus square foot country home in beautiful northwest Illinois. My daughter and granddaughter lived there for the last ten years until my daughter relocated with her job in June. Dennis and I have spent the entire summer renovating this little home into a beautiful garden retreat. Located only six minutes from Land of Oz Dolls, it is the perfect place for rest and relaxation among the flora and fauna of our beautiful area. It is the perfect place to stay when you come to visit the shop or attend a seminar or workshop.<br />
<br />
Let me introduce you to Roberts' Roost Country Guest House:<br />

Roberts' Roost Country Guest House sits on one third of an acre that was once part of the original 160 acre Roberts' family farm that has been in my family since 1860. (My maiden name was Roberts). For the complete history of Roberts' Roost please visit the History page of my website: <a href="http://robertsroostcountryguesthouse.com/about/">http://robertsroostcountryguesthouse.com/about/</a> </div>

Many of you know my second love, after making dolls, is nature photography. Here are some photos I have taken of the flora and fauna of Roberts' Roost.<br />

Roberts' Roost is steeped in my family heritage. Here is a couple of photos of a large Burr Oak tree that is one of a line of three marking the original lot lines of the property. The trees are estimated to be way over 150 years old.<br />

This tree over the years has grown around a metal fence post stake and the barb wire fence. The base of the trunk is one tree that is now splitting from old age.<br />

Today's "Photo of the Day" for September 3rd, 2014 is another photo of "Daisy" The Doll That Came To Life through the Ladies Home Journal in 1911. This "Daisy" is wearing a costume made by Pam Willits. I had given this "Daisy" brown glass eyes instead of the usual blue and she is wearing the Kemper mohair Daisy wig.

Good morning all, my "Photo of the Day" for Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014 is a collage of "Mary Marie" Jumeau dolls. These dolls are my interpretation of the doll in the "Mary Frances Sewing Book". I created these dolls from the S-253ST E.J. Camille mold from New York Doll Products. She fits on the FB14JS composition body, stands approximately 17" to 18" tall and is able to wear costumes reproduced from the patterns in the book. The costumes shown were made by Clara Pelfrey. Have a great dolly Tuesday!<br />

"Photos of the Day"<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Today's "Photo of the Day" September 1st, 2014 for Land of Oz Dolls is actually three photos that were taken back on February 9th, 2011. The two larger dolls are an 18" Kestner "Daisy" on the left and the 18" Handwerck "Daisy" on the right. The Kestner 171 "Daisy" is made from the Seeley mold. The Handwerck version of "Daisy" is made from an old Handwerck 109 mold I had found. Both heads are on the same Daisy body, but one has a slightly larger forehead than the other so the difference in height. The smaller one in front is the "Daisyette" Kestner from the Collectible Doll Co. mold. Costumes were made by Pam Willits and Clara Pelfrey.</span><br />

My "Photo of the Day" for August 31st, 2014 is a modern doll. Originally sculpted by Diana Effner, I made 10" "Little Lou" from an Expressions Mold several years ago. Always one of my favorite little modern dolls, she has such a sweet face. She has expressive painted eyes and her costume was created by Clara Pelfrey.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">Good morning all, and Happy Labor Day Weekend! For the last few months I have been doing a “Photo of the Day” on my Land of Oz Dolls Facebook page. It has been so popular, I have decided to try it out on my website for all of you who do not have access to Facebook. These photos are of dolls I have made in the past and are probably no longer available for sale. If you see one you are really interested in please ask, it may still be available. If I have posted a photo of a doll that means I do have the mold and soft-fired greenware, blank bisque, painted bisque, or a finished doll would be available by order. Otherwise the photos are for fun and to give you a daily dose of dolly love! Please let me know if you like them!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify;">Today's "Photo of the Day" for August 30th, 2014 is of my 5 ft. Lady Grace that resides in my doll room. She reins as the focal point of the room, always welcoming guests. I have the Lady Grace mold in these sizes: 5 ft, 36 in, 27 in, 18 in, and 8 in.</span><br />

Good morning everyone! I have so much to share with you, I am not sure where to start. There are lots of new and exciting things happening here around at Land of Oz Dolls. Look for some upcoming posts that will detail some of the happenings. This morning I want to share with you some photos of shadow boxes and presentation boxes that I have made through the years. I had shared a photo on Facebook of a shelving unit in the doll room, that held many of these boxes, and had quite a few requests for closeups of the individual pieces. The finished shadow boxes are not for sale but I do sell kits for some of them. The dolls inside each box are available in soft-fired greenware, blank bisque or painted and finished dolls. I hope you enjoy them.<br />

I also have a couple of Presentation Boxes to share with you. This is a German Presentation Box that comes with a complete doll and three extra interchangeable heads. The finished doll is a "Hilda". She is about a 15" doll. I do have kits available for this box. It was made from a pattern from Collectible Doll Company. It was a lot of fun doing and really enjoyed making this project. </div>

This Presentation Box is made using the "Annettes" heads from New York Doll Products. It also has the one complete doll with three interchangeable heads. The dolls in this box are much smaller. The complete doll is about 8 inches tall. I do have kits available for this box also. </div>

I also had one all-bisque doll called "Sweet Pea" in a trunk, on the shelving unit. I thought I would share that with you also.</div>

This past weekend I just finished hosting a costuming seminar with Lorna Yates for the 19" S & H 1159. Our seminar was called "Return to Downton Abbey". I made the finished doll for everyone and Lorna taught the costuming class. I was able to also sit down and sew a costume, something I hadn't been able to do for quite a long time. It was three fun-filled days with great dolly-minded ladies! Here are a couple of photos from the seminar to share with you. </div>
