Thanks, but I do think that location is half the battle and we are in a great location in a very touristy area, that coupled with being willing to go the extra mile for our customers certainly helps. My son once had an amazing coffee/sandwich shop w…

Annie, welcome! Sorry I didn't get to you right away. Took a couple of days off from the computer...

You can now personalize your page (many templates availble that you can tweak), change that smiling frog to represent you, participate in the forum, join groups, and just make yourself at home. Every member has a blog on their page which links to the front page, a nice way to get the word out to the rest easily. There are some tips on how to work the different tools on the front page, too.

Happy Holidays!

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll

This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
