Crazy Maisie
Meet Maisie, a beautiful and whimsical vintage cloth doll
I
found years ago at a lovely little antiques shop
in New Hampshire.
She looks like she was
made with loving hands.
Maisie is 23" long
and has a soft filled cloth body and long legs that have painted
designs. Her hair is black wool braided into a curly hairdo and her
face has a painted
serene expression with a Cindy Crawford mole
above her lip. Around her neck is a real piece of
above her lip. Around her neck is a real piece of
fur that gives her that worldly style. She is carrying
a small
envelop purse made of leather and
hangs from her shoulder with a gold
chain. Her blouse
is black cotton with lace at the sleeves and she sports a rhinestone bracelet on one of her wrists. Her plaid
long skirt is made of wool and her little shoes
are a plastic leather
so the rain won't destroy them.
Maisie has a little loop of string at
the back of
her head if you want to hang her on the wall
but I think
that can look pretty gruesome.
I put her on my bed or a chair and just
pull up
her long skirt just a bit to show off her patterned legs.
Someone
made this darling lady with lots of creative fun
and love. Wouldn't
you love something special
like Maisie in your boudoir?
