Marie Antoinette Tramps visited MAry Ellen Pleasant tress and Marker

As most of you know I hand stitch an exclusive line of dolls for a french quarter store "Ragin Daisy" often I have one or two on hand while i travel or am vending at a live show, these three MAT dolls came along on tour for me in California in August 2010. In just about every doll i hand make i put a eucalyptus nut that was planted in the 1860's by civil rights leader and feminist MARY ELLEN PLEASANT..http://www.mepleasant.com/

The JujU and LULU dolls are very close and enjoyed the trip..JujU had been a nudist prior to this trip and decided she'd like some classy nautical attire, in the photographs on the tree with them there hair magically glowed as you can see in the photo...




Lady V actually stayed behind so that can reside in CAlifornia at very good home...she was actually the first MArie Antoinette Tramp I had sewn....
