got over my phone phobia and finally called The Wenham Museum to talk about setting up a special visit with Susan Fosnot during WOW!. Turns out Lorna Lieberman is the acting doll curator- back again after retiring twice already- She is the owner of the amazing mint condition Izannah Walker doll that was in the Blue Ribbon Dolls show at Wenham last spring. She was also the person who gave the slide lecture about antique cloth dolls, that I went to last winter. She was really nice to talk to, and hopefully, if she is able, she will show us Miss Columbiaand the rest of the cloth doll collection. I think that it will be amazing to be able to see these dolls with someone who knows so much about them, their history and hopefully their construction. It would be a wish come true to hold some of these dolls.
I am still working on finishing the dolls for the Kansas City Doll Fair- I am working on the stands now. I decided 2 weren’t good enough and started over. I’ve got to go buy more glue now! I still have to put my signature on Haze and photograph her… almost done…
