Nature Perphanalia


More of Samantha's accessories are on my Etsy Shop

For Victorians, vacations were a time to learn about the outdoors as well as to have fun there. On sunny days at Piney Point, Samantha loaded up her pack basket and took a nature hike into the Adirondack Mountains. She chased butterflies and picked wildflowers like these.

Josefina's Quilt

Check out more doll quilts on my Etsy Shop
www.etsy.com/shop/prairiewindgirls
When Josefina lived in New Mexico in the1820's, quilts would have been a rarety.....most blankets would have been woven.  But, I like to think that Josefina's friend Patrick O'Toole, may have brought her back one from Missouri.  Josefina would have loved the bright colors in this quilt!

Maria begged to wear the little apron I made up....this is such a cute pattern...I'm making one for a door prize for one of the local church MOPS groups.....I changed it up a bit, with a big center pocket, and a stripped ruffled edge....I think I like it better then the original...will post a pic when It is finished!
