Covid-19

I've decided in these uncertain times to temporarily close my shops. It seems a bit frivolous to continue, when people are losing their jobs and businesses, struggling in empty shops to provide for themselves and families, and fearful for their health and that of their loved ones.

As a family, we know what pneumonia can do, and even though we have been instructed by President Macron to stay at home, we were already self-isolating to protect each other, especially my dear OH who has underlying health problems. He has suffered three major bouts of chest infection this year, and I am determined he will NOT suffer Covid-19 if I have anything to do with it!

So, please, everyone stay safe, stay at home, stay well.

Blonde boudoir beauty

I recently found a boudoir doll in my secret little stock room - I had wrapped her up so carefully that I had forgotten I had her!

She is so typically a 1920s French boudoir doll - a poupée de salon - and what a blonde beauty!  Her pretty necklace and headband co-ordinate with her pink dress - she has little white bloomers underneath.  She really is in lovely condition albeit a little wear on her nose, but all her fingers and eyelashes etc are still there, and her feet are finished off in little silver painted shoes.

It's a bit of a wretch to put her up for sale if I'm honest, but I have had her for some years, and I can't keep everything!  She's on my Etsy shop - see the sidebar for more information.   Anyway, here she is:
