Spring is in the air (really) xx







Hi
A few things to make us smile xx
I was watching the news and realised that Japan have their first ever women Prime Minister, elected in October last year, I am so  pleased I made our little Tales from Japan girls which marks this amazing event xx
Our new fairy dolls for February (will be ready to meet you on 27th at 1pm) they are ALL going to be Queens of Spring and as such there will be a lot of crowns and sparkle and hand knitted cardigans all in beautiful spring colours, such a delight xx 
It is Buttondolls 10th Anniversary this year, I have met such wonderful people and it is like we have a family out there of doll and craft lovers, I have really welcomed your input, ideas, and wonderful feedback and testimonials, and feel really privileged to have come this far with you all xx

Ten years I can’t believe you’ve been doing your lovely dolls this long, always different I don’t know how you manage to keep doing all these lovely collections never the same hope you keep going for another ten years xx

Yes spring is definitely in the air but the weather hasn’t caught up with it. Sad to see we have even more rain forecast for next week. My Saffi cat has been so desperate to go out doors she has even slipped out in the rain and come back soaked a couple of times . Today is drier here but colder . Ill take cold and dry anytime.
Ten years- gosh why did I only come across you last year! You have bountiful imagination and skill Chris, I wonder what you did before this and did you train in dressmaking or crafting? Looking forward to seeing the new girls.
Warm wishes to everyone xx

My very first buttondoll was called Annie and it must be about 9 years ago so maybe one of your first girls! xx
