The Travelling Memory Doll is 12" tall with her cotton dress and slip being removable; her bra and panties are not. She comes with her own antique travelling suitcase with handmade sofa, miniature dishes, tea pot and cups, as well as a 160 page booklet to keep a log of her journeys. What a great gift for a little girl as the doll goes on trips with the family, collecting mementoes to store in the suitcase and memories to last forever.
The antique suitcase is pictured below closed. You can see the original luggage tag is browned with age and has the following written on the tag: "Miss Dawn B. Regon, S.N., Mercy Hosp." Evidently this suitcase was a possession of a student nurse at Mercy Hospital.
The entire contents as described plus the antique suitcase is $125 plus shipping.

Stone Angel ~ her head is sculpted clay with a body, wings and clothing made of quality woven cotton, with lace at the neckline. The clothing is stiffened with an acrylic paint mixture to resemble a Stone Angel Statue. She stands 25 1/2" tall, has well formed fingers and toes. Propped in her hands is painted cardboard with sheet music on the other side.
Stone Angel is meant to be an inside work of art that would look lovely in a garden bath area, a sunroom with plants, or even as a center piece for holidays. During the Christmas season you could remove the sheet music and drape a garland of dried cranberries over her arms and vintage tinsel garland halo. Or Easter you could put vintage post cards between her thumbs and fingers.
This is a technique taught me by the talented Cat Mahone. Stone Angel may be yours for $65 plus shipping.
