Doll by Teresa Thompson

I ordered a doll for Mum's roombox from master dollmaker Teresa Thompson aka Costume Cavalcade in the UK, and it arrived today!  I'm so excited!



The doll's model name is Dulcie #2, and she's one of Teresa's gorgeous Edwardian children.  The details on this tiny work of art have to be seen to be appreciated -- she's perfect in every respect.  I'm still undecided on whether I want dolls in my houses or not (I think I may prefer just cats :), but if I was going to have dolls, I'd start with Teresa's work.  She's a real expert on costume, and that's very important to me :)


This is a pair of William and Mary/Queen Anne dolls circa 1690 -- doesn't he look like the somewhat more serious, less libertine younger brother of Sue's wonderful dummy board, Gentleman with a Cane, aka, Lord Fancypants?


And this is Teresa's early Georgian family, circa 1720.  Aren't they GORGEOUS?

Okay, I think I may have to have dolls after all!

Thank you, thank you, Teresa, for your wonderful work :)

  1. Nina, you've made a good choice ... After all, the doll houses are so called precisely because we are inside the dolls! This child, I love especially socks and shoes: find the perfect, almost touching!
    I am sure your mom love it :-)
