When did winter become a problem?

When did winter become more about the shoveling of driveways and weariness of ice than about the sledding down a hill and wariness of burning our tongues on hot chocolate? The days of snow being thought of as the world’s greatest toys may be behind you, but recapturing some of the magic of winter is well within reach. Enjoy

Wee Forrest Vill age Dollmasters is delighted to introduce a family of fanciful miniature mice, handcrafted in the USA by the Petersen family since 1972. Annette Petersen crafted her first little mouse nearly four decades ago, and today is joined in the wee mouse world by Annette, Willy and Donna, the next generation of Petersens. They describe their creative process this way. "We make the mold, cast it, and a little mouse begins to emerge. Meticulous hand-painting and an enormous amount of patience and time brings each sculpture to life".

All of the Wee Forest Folks are hand-crafted entirely in the small town of Carlisle in eastern Massachusetts.

The Nutcracker Suite A five-piece limited edition set from Wee Forest Folk representing the main characters of the renowned seasonal ballet; Clara, Fritz, the Mouse King, the Sugar Plum Fairy and, or course, the Nutcracker himself. Each piece is signed, numbered, and dated by the artist. Each 2". WF-024. $575 for the set of five. ♥

Miss Noel in green coat. 2". WF-014. $75.

Miss Noel in red coat. 2". WF-023. $75.

A Home of Their Own for the Wee Forest Folks The delightful wooden box was originally designed by the Petersen’s to display their Wee Forest Folk at shows. But soon they found that collectors were also clamoring to own the box so they could showcase their own little family of mice, and keep them safe at the same time. Entirely handmade in the Wee Forest Folk Massachusetts studios with handpainted winter scenes on the sides, crest and background, and electrified so you can easily watch the little ones at play. 11 x 6 ½ x 14.

Peter Wolf So dedicated is Peter Wolf, the German doll artist, that he seldom leaves his studio except in search of the rare antique silks and laces that he uses to costume his dolls. The artist carves each of his precious dolls entirely by hand, applies the early-style enamel eyes, and then hand-paints in an exacting antique manner. His specialty is the English wooden doll of the 18th century known as "Queen Anne", and his in-depth research ensures that each is made exactly like the originals. With jointed hips to allow each doll to bow in an appropriate courtly manner, painted creamy complexions with dot lashes, blush spots on cheeks and outlined lips, a few even with beauty spots!

Mother And Baby By Peter Wolf Utilizing classic English sculpting techniques used as early as the mid-17th century, Peter Wolf has created yet another vintage masterpiece in this Mother & Baby. The Mother is an entirely hand sculpted wood doll with exquisitely handpainted details including single brush-stroke eye-lashes and eye-brows. Mother wears a superb costume of the era styled of antique fabrics, with a matching green wire-frame silk bonnet.

Her baby wears a knit cotton dress with an orange silk bodice and a green felt hat. Each is signed, numbered and dated, from a limited edition of 10. Mother is a grand 22". SD-867. $2400. ♼ Nannerl and Mozart In the mid 18th century, Leopold and Anna Maria Mozart lived in a small Salzburg apartment with their two children, Amadeus and Maria Anna, known as "Nannerl." Though both were highly gifted musically, Amadeus Mozart became world famous and Nannerl moved onto marriage and children as a woman of her time was expected to do. Now Peter Wolf has immortalized both of these gifted children, and who better to sculpt a doll of the Austrian-born musical genius and his sibling than the German-born doll savant? Each piece is entirely hand-carved, painted and costumed with exquisite detail. Each is signed and numbered, from a limited edition of 30.

In her own words, she states that each bear "is treated like a painting, although three-dimensional mohair is the medium". Each of her teddy bears, which are all one-of-a-kind, sports not only a different aesthetic but often an entirely different method of adornment highlighted by scenes that are hand-painted by the artist.

Lovebirds Bear Covered in brown chenille, Lovebirds Bear has a secret.

His jacket-style torso front opens to reveal the signature artwork of Amy Goodrich, a pair of embroidered needlework blue birds. 22". OK-237.

WAS $850. NOW $695. ♥

A Grand Regal Friend Bear When Amy Goodrich speaks of her bears being the canvas for her art, sometimes, as with Regal Friend, it’s a very literal canvas for very literal art, as painted Princes and Princesses adorn not only the torso, but every part of this grand-sized bear.

28". OK-238. WAS $1100. NOW $895. ♥ Duchess Bear Covered in turquoise silk, Duchess Dollmasters is adorned with gold encrusted embroidery with a matching shawl and an elegant yet understated bejeweled brooch. 16". OK-236.

Mull anium Art Though the phrase "Steampunk" first originated in the 1980’s, the roots of the genre were first established in the time period it emulates, the 1890s, with the works of early science fiction giants like H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Mary Shelley. Today the genre and its precepts can be found in every layer of entertainment and now, thanks to Pennsylvanian artists Jim and Tori Mullan, the genre has infiltrated classic American art pieces.

Jim and Tori’s parallel love of antique watches and vintage toys drew them together over two decades ago, but their artistic endeavors bonded them for life.

Artistic endeavors which include the adorning antique metal pieces to wooden animal sculptures forming a striking juxtaposition.

Each piece is as unique in its creation as it is in its originality, a surefire centerpiece for your home.

Turned Head Binocul ar Bird Resting atop antique French binoculars, the wooden bird features a suspiciously turned head to keep an ever vigilant (and antique clockwork adorned) eye. Metal adornments include wings composed of clipped metal rulers and classic watch faces. 5 ½". GH-323. $275.

Because each wooden piece is adorned using unique antique pieces (such as binoculars and croquet balls) no two pieces are exactly alike. Each is signed and dated by the artist.

"T i p t o p " S o n gb i r d o n Croquet Ball An antique blue croquet ball is the perfect perch for this blueand-green songbird. Antique adornments include a "TIPTOP" metal label on his breast, wings comprised of cut metal signs and clockwork gears, and in his back, a small embedded compass. 6 ½ ". We have only one. GH-314. $265.

That may be why so many collectors will agree that when you have bought one piece you will want them all.

Named by the artist, each is signed and dated.

W h i t e C o tt o n " P e t i t s P o i s " Lady Gown So fine is this gown, designed for plumpbodied lady dolls of the 1860 period, you will feel certain at first that it is an antique. Made of a very dainty white cotton with interwoven dots (the French call this fabric design "petits pois"), the gown features a fitted bodice with sleeve bretelles that extend to form double-layered ruffles around the bodice. The pagoda-shaped sleeves have matching gathered ruffles below the elbows and the gathered skirt is two-tiered both for style and modesty.

The gown is trimmed with red overcast scalloped edging. To fit 20" dolls. Waist is 13" and overall length is 16". (An identical gown in smaller size is CF-211). CF-210. $49.

The gown is fully lined, with hook-andeye closures. To fit 13" lady dolls. Waist is 8", overall length is 12". CF-239. $65.

Pale Aqua Blue Silk L a d y ’ s E n s e mb l e A two-piece ensemble in the softest shade of aqua blue silk includes a fitted jacket with intricately constructed sleeves and a modesty panel between the lace-edged jacket edges that allows a little "give" in fitting your doll. The skirt is a delightful confection of ruching, flounces, and pleats on both front and back, and you will delight in the fun you have choosing exactly the best way to position the skirt on your doll. Whatever way you choose will be a charmer! The ensemble is richly trimmed with fine lace. To fit 17" lady dolls. The waist is 9" and the overall length is 13".

Dart-shaped at both front and back, with self-covered buttons and hand-made buttonholes at the front. The 5"l. bands of narrow pleats at the skirt edge match the sleeve bands and the dainty pleated lace-edged pockets. Along with an outrageously ruffled matching bonnet. To fit 26" lady dolls. The waist is 14" and overall length is 20". (A smaller size of the same costume is CF-249). CF-250. $47.
