I like too many things to settle for just one niche. This habit is not necessarily good for business, but it is good for my soul.

Born in San Francisco 50 years ago. I've lived all over the San Francisco Bay Area, and Los Angeles too. I had a daughter nine years ago and we now live happily in Santa Clara. I hope to travel abroad more in the coming years. I love Europe, especially London and Stratford-Upon-Avon. Shakespeare is my hero. I have begun to sew for dolls again, and hope to have a secondary home-based business for dolls and books. Having a home-based business will give me more time with my little girl because she is just growing up too fast. Support small businesses like mine!

I only accept Paypal.

I ship within 3 working days, usually by first class mail. I recommend insurance, but it is not required for most items.

If you are not satisfied with any item I have sold, you may return it within 14 days for a full refund of the purchase price.

I began sewing when I was six. I made my first cloth doll, and I still have her. Like most girls my age I took home economics in 8th grade, and the girl scouts, where I learned to sew clothing for myself. I had been involved in making porcelain dolls, when I discovered American Girl in the late 80's. Since then I have been involved in some way making clothing, selling books and accessories for these dolls. I mainly worked the doll show circuit in California. With the advent of the Internet, dolls shows have become scaled down, and many dealers have retired. I too stopped working while my daughter was little, but I am back now. My doll clothes and accessories are guaranteed to please any child or collector. I make my clothing for dolls like I do for myself. I use interfacing, make buttonholes, and I serge my seams when applicable. I make these clothes to last for generations.

I love books. I was an literature major in college, so I read alot. I have started selling some of our collection on eBay and Half.com. The greatest gift we can give our children is a love of reading. I plan on doing this one book at a time. I recently became the library assistant at a local elementary school. I love being with the kids, reading, and recommending books. I'm not in love with all the shelving, but it's a vital part of the job.
