  1. Happy Valentines Day. Sweet cards. Love the clothes in the cards. Inspiration for dresses comes from every where. the lady was super talented and the molds are pretty too. I liked both of them.

  2. I love these! They really capture that embarrassing "kid love". When I was in first grade, I had a little beau who gave me a REAL valentine--not the kiddie kind we were all putting in each other's decorated valentine boxes. He hid it in my desk and asked me not to let anybody see it.

  3. Frances Brundage was such a talented artist; enjoy your links for easy research. I guess dollmakers think alike...like Martha, I always admire the creative clothing the children are wearing. These molds are exceptionally sweet... Happy Valentine's Day!
