Wonderful Whimsy

FOUND.
a collection of handmade, hand painted wooden miniature characters.
these are just my kind of thing-
love their slight quirkiness and inherent tenderness...
I also love that they came from an estate sale of an eccentric collector of sorts...

Delightful Vintage Dolls

I found these seven delightful vintage miniature dolls at the Sunday Market a few weeks ago. Wrapped up in a clear plastic bag, they caught my eye with their sweet charm. Sold!

There is a sticker on one saying East Germany. They stand just under 3 inches high.

I love all the attention to detail on the clothing and the simplicity of their nature; just a lovely grouping of dolls to catch the imagination of a young child...

Love These Miniatures

I am so taken by these sweet pieces... they are 'keepers', I just can't part with them.

I have a group of them from an estate I am handling. I will be ruthless with myself and list the others but the 5 in the above photo have a permanent home on my studio shelf!

They were collected over the years by an artist. I love the fine craftsmanship in some and the simple folk art style of others. Together they create magic in their honest beauty. They just make me smile.
