flower'd frocks and garden walks~

good morning
dear friends~

as these spring days begin to lengthen and warm, 

a meadowlark sings in the old rose by the dollhouse door 

and myself, the doll maker, sits inside, keeping snug by the fire 

with my sewing in hand. 

It seems my spirit & my sewing begins to flourish best just when the farm begins 

to awaken from her long winters nap. 

So, as these early days of Spring begin to warm and sturdy little green leaves and blooms begin to unfurl

you may look forward to 

that cheerful celebration of wonderful surprises with flowr'd frocks & garden walks 

and little dolls all in a row.
