Catalog and label things, set them up just so, and that's the beginning....<BR/><BR/>I've made many, many pincushions as gifts, some embroidered, some made from interesting fabrics, and some given with packages of safety pins so that new parents can pin Baby's socks together so as to avoid losing them in the wash.Wenonah4thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875282879902158315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37334069.post-28725730119422403542008-07-27T00:58:00.000+10:002008-07-27T00:58:00.000+10:00Yes, look after your precious china half-dolls, th...Yes, look after your precious china half-dolls, the reproduction ones (though they are lovely) are not a match on the authentic vintage dolls.

I have a couple of the china half dolls, courtesy of my MIL, who gave them to me complete with hand knitted teacosies. I didn't realise they were worth so much until I saw one at an estate auction, go for nearly $100!!!Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.com
