Sunflower Root Child Doll for Auction

I was going to wait until later in the week to post about my dolls because I want to tell you about stories and songs too... however, I wrote about the auction for Bridget Zinn yesterday, and today my Sunflower Root Child Doll went up for auction on that site.





There are more photos on the site, so you can see the sunflower stems, leaves and ladybugs embroidered on the doll. When the time comes, I'll ship the doll out to the winning bidder along with a wee gift.

May 28 update: As of today, the bidding is up to $50.00. Wow! Thank you, generous bidders.

I am going to miss my friends as they go out into the world. But like Lissy of Lissy's Friends by Grace Lin, I will make more.
