Wouldn’t you like to find this lovely in your flower bed?

Does anything say “Welcome Spring!” better than the sweet, smiling face of a daffodil?

I don’t think so either! They’re such a gracious reminder that warm weather & sunny skies are on the way. This little girl is Dilly, my own reminder that spring is just around the corner & no, it won’t be cold forever. Dilly’s been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She measures 16.5″ tall from the tip of her petals to her base. Dilly stands freely as her lower torso is rag-stuffed & bean-filled.Dilly has been painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. She’s been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display.

Dilly’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand giving her a perfect little pout. Each of Dilly’s petals have been individually sewn & were applied by hand–in fact, there is SO much hand-stitching in the construction of this doll & her clothing. Her tiny, leafy arms have been quilted by hand. They’re a lovely shade of olive green.

Dilly’s blouse is made of taupe osnaburg. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline and back. Her apron dress is made from a brown & cream polka dot 100% cotton print! The hem features hand-stitching. 

Dilly is available on Ebay beginning March 1 at 9:15 PM EST. She will end March 8 @ 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view more pics or bid on this dumpling!
