As the one woman show of a miniature set design and furniture business, I don’t get too much time these days to enjoy one of my favorite hobbies – Fashion Doll Collecting.
However, there are occasions when friends of mine, (who also collect dolls) and I, can get together and enjoy some much-needed camaraderie.
This past Monday was one such occasion. I had created a little set display in case anyone wanted to take photos with their dolls. As it turned out, my friend Vin, did just that. I’m sure these pictures will turn up on Flickr, or Facebook, and so on. But since the set was still on my work table as of today, I thought I would take the opportunity to photograph one of my newest acquisitions. Yet ANOTHER Lilli Lalka from the UK ! This brings my small, but gratifying collection of these beauties to 4. But, that does not mean I’m done! – Heh,heh
I was delighted to see that Lilli Lalka fit right in to her surroundings. I hope you enjoy these snaps from my photo shoot today. It was refreshingly inspirational for me as I gear up for another big project!

lOVE THE SOCKS! It all goes together so well CM
She looks wonderful, Maryann! I just love her. I think she has such a lovely face. I was so pleased to see that she could wear the clothes I made for Barbie.
xo Hilda
That dress was made for her!
She’s so prim! The socks make it!
My dear lady,
I can hardly express my delight at discovering your amazing work – it’s like all those childhood christmases rolled into one! Your designs strongly appeal to my love of Hollywood Regency and oh, The Lalkas! I also have managed to secure four of these wonderful creatures by Liz and Julian so far and certainly won’t stop there. Interestingly, the face on this beauty of yours is quite different from my girls – she has slightly more 1940s lips as opposed to the beestung look I’m used to and appears to be wearing more blusher…
Is she made to order?
