Summer is coming closer to an end and school will begin soon, so enjoy yourself sweet LWD and appreciate this exquisite (although hot) day!

Wearing her denim shorts and a plaid red and yellow smock, you will be very stylish, too! Don’t you love the rhinestones?

Happy Sunday - August 1st, 2010!

It's our Little Wooden Doll's official anniversary! One year ago today we began marketing and selling the three sweet little dolls. The dolls were actually completed in July; we had about 15 outfits by end of July and on August 1st, 2009 created the Etsy account.

Today we have over 100 outfits! We also have a new 'wardrobe' and a few new dolls in the works - I can't wait for them to be finished - thought they would be done months ago, but one of the lessons I learned is that budgeting the money is tough!

I thought the favorite doll would be "Angel" - she has the black hair with a pink band, but she actually turned out to be the least favorite! I have sold more of "Eva" - my brunette - than the other two. The favorite outfit is "Playing with the Baby Lambs" - it is a little denim jeans with a red bandana top outfit.

In October, I will be at the Mercy Fest Craft Show, which takes place at the Immaculate Heart of Mary church - if you have the time, stop by. They have a wonderful selection of all kinds of items - especially great ideas for Christmas gifts.

The Villager, in Mariemont Ohio, still carries the Little Wooden Dolls - it is a great shop right in the heart of Mariemont!

Thanks to anyone who has supported me - it has been so much fun. The Little Wooden Doll is a combination of two favorite past times for me when I was young: I loved paper dolls and I loved making clothes for my real dolls! Watch for a post in the future - I still have some of those dolls and a few of the outfits that I made when I was (probably) about 10 years old! Trust me - Vera Wang has no worries!

To Kelly - my most loyal blogger fan - thank you for all your kindness and your very creative comments about the outfits! And to Curg - my webmaster - you have found a new vocation! Thanks for helping and being technically savvy enough to get my website created and updated everyday!

Hopefully sometime today, we will post the first outfit ever put on Etsy. I thought it was soooo cute at the time and now I just wonder what on earth I was thinking! It is time for a 'do over' for this outfit! The idea was pretty good - a little forest green outfit with a white apron for cooking - but the 'seamstress' wasn't at her best that day!


Love to all of you!

It's Cherry Picking Time!

It’s Cherry Picking Time! Our Little Wooden Doll and her family are headed to the orchards today! They are bringing their baskets to fill with cherries – bright red cherries and black cherries too! So, appropriately, LWD decided to wear her ‘cherry’ dress with the lace borders.

Late this afternoon they will clean all the fruit, get rid of the nasty old pits and start baking some cherry pies! They might save a few to make chocolate covered cherries for her dad!

Sounds delicious and also great fun!

Whether it is the monkeys on Monkey Island, the polar bears entertaining and keeping cool in their lagoon, or the eagles soaring above in their aerie, she loves them all!

Have fun, Little Wooden Doll!

Lazy Day!

Lazy Day! Our Little Wooden Doll and her best friend will share this day together. What will they do all day? Mostly they are going to sit on the swing on the front porch! Even if it rains, they will be protected.

They will bring out their dolls and doll houses and just have a wonderful day! Since they both just got new library books too, I bet they spend the late afternoon reading and swinging!

And no doubt, LWD’s mom will fix a delicious lunch for them too! Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches just taste better when you have a friend to share!

Taking A Walk Through The Woods

Going to the top of the pavilion and looking over the city is her favorite part!

Wearing her jeans and a little smock of red, white and blue colors will keep her comfortable as she meanders through the flowers. There is a little denim pocket on her smock just in case she sees something along the trail that she wants to keep – like maybe a sprig of lilac!
