  1. I hope I look this good when I am 200...but it is doubtful :-)

    Amazing the staying power of this wonderful doll.

    warmly,

  4. Me too, Jan! I hope she has as many admirers in another hundred years. My guess is, there will be many more. :o)

  5. What lovely dolls! Is the doll really 200 years old? That is amazing.

  6. OK, I've been doing some reading and now I see that Izannah Walker was a doll maker! Wow, those dolls are beautiful.

  7. Hi Brenda! Yes she was and I believe she was the first woman in history to ever receive a patent and it was for her dolls. :o)

  8. Brenda, forgot to add that the dolls are new reproductions. Thank you!
    Izannah's 200th birthday was last month, so surviving dolls are probably at least 150 years old, give or take a few years. :o)
