You have to see it. Laurens’ new work is so beautiful it makes me want to cry.
And my gorgeous friend has got a blog documenting her life, work and scrumptious vintage treasures…
Read her and weep at the sheer beautiful whimsy of childhood captured in art.

I know what you mean about making you want to cry – it is absolutely beautifully stunning & gorgeous. you find the best stuff, Alison! I love the doll above but I can just imagine the comments some of my friends would say on that – but one really shouldn't worry about stuff like that – wish I was one of those 🙂 xoxo
me again – actually it would be great to be able to make one from one of my own dolls using my collection of vintage millinery flowers. is that wrong to do? I never understand copyright and all that stuff.
Wow! Gee! I don't know what to say. Just checking in to get the latest little tidbit of advice from The Vintage Housekeeper herself and BAM! Thanks so much Alison (and ms*robyn) how incredibly flattering. Like an award or something!
I'd like to thank my mom and dad, my hubby, the postman…
:o)
Wow! That is really interesting and beautiful. What a neat display. I just keep scrolling back up to look it.
That one is sweet but I have to be one to admit that altered baby dolls give me the willies. There is a museum in Paris that has nothing but strange, demented altered dolls and doll parts. They had a sprinkling of items on display in one of the musees we visited and upon seeing them, it made my decision to NOT visit the other museum. I would have nightmares for a week! I think it was because they all looked wounded or evil, unlike this one which looks like a fairy tale dream. What fun to have the best of the best presented to us via this forum so I don't have to spend my time searching on my own. Thanks, Alison.
I have to say this is a bit scarry, like my 15 year old goth art. I'll have to dig that up and sell it!
hello, fabulous work by laura you were right! do you have hre contact details at all?
Thanks,
Kay
