ON SALE Christmas Plaid Dream Star Doll



The holidays are past, but you can still bring subtle holiday cheer to your home all year long with this very pretty 8.5 inch tall lady in red and green yard dyed woven plaid cotton. I decorated her with beads and sequins in the holiday spirit. She wears a bright red petal and leaf skirt, of course embellished with glass beads. She is one of a kind in a series. Her holiday themed sisters have all traveled to their new homes.

Her festive charms including a wee snowman hanging from her ribbon sash, an epoxy button, and a bead from a vintage rosary. I like repurposing pre-loved jewelry in my dolls to give them connections with the past.

I paint all my dolls faces individually. What I love about this lady is her gentle smile. Her bright multihued yarn hair sets off her sweet teal colored eyes. 

Set her on a mantle, shelf or boudoir table to remind you of the holidays all year, or enjoy her as part of your holiday decor. Either way, she is there to remind you to follow your dreams.


At only $30 this will the lowest price ever for a Dream Star Doll. 


Her sisters have already traveled home.

Some of the beads were new purchases, others from vintage necklaces taken apart. Many of the fabrics used in the patchwork over robe were given to me by my mother-in-law. She has a huge collection of different vintage fabrics that she has collected over the last 40+ years in her travels. I combined upholstery fabrics with antique embroideries, printed Indian silks and quilting cottons, including small scale liberty prints. My daughter contributed a lot of her design talents to the project. It was she who designed the tattoos for the doll's cheeks. She also chose the yarn combination for the hair, to coordinate with the robes. She sewed the little felt bag for the Kokopelli , a
