I've been lucky to score a couple of lovely Wendy Lawton dolls recently. I've wanted Lucy Gray, inspired by the Wordsworth poem we read senior year of high school, for nearly as long. She has a wooden body and is gorgeous. Frolic, the little Amish girl, is all porcelain and signed by the artist, so is a find. I've got an antique doll who I have dressed in an Amish dress, and she makes a nice little sister. There are a couple of others that I will likely pick up some time: Marcella and Red Riding Hood. These dolls are made in America, so extra special and well made. Like myself, I'd think Wendy was inspired by antiques, and they are still around.
