Maddie & Stella: Haunted Dolls

Who is spookier — the dolls or the doll collector?

Maddie (the blonde) and Stella (the brunette) joined us in December, 2019. They have been lovely companions.

Here they are just recently, greeting the first cold morning of autumn with a fire. Yes, Maddie’s eyes always seem to glow.

Here they are with their cosmos celebrating the life of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, with their pearls and lace.

They do like getting outside on a warm summer’s day.

During the winter, when I set up my sewing machine in the great room, they offer to help.

Here, you can see they dress smartly for a day on the town (or trip to the liquor store more likely).
