Hello All!
Happy September!
I am celebrating with joining in Pink Saturday with Beverly at How Sweet The Sound.
Today I am sharing a sweet doll I had started ages ago,
and just finished today.
Meet Second Hand Rose.
Rose has loved the theater all her life.
As a little girl, she would go once a month with her father
to see a play.
It was the highlight of her life!
When she grew up,
She found a position sewing costumes for the actors and actresses.
Oh how she envied them!
But she had such stage fright, she never tried out for a role her entire life.
Now that might sound sad...
But it wasn't for Rose.
She LOVED creating those costumes,
as well as practically living at the theater!
Here she is all ready to go out.
She has long since retired,
but continues to enjoy every play!
Everyone knows and loves Rose,
Her kind heart and generous ways endeared her to each and every person she met.
And she was so integral to the success of the plays because
her costumes were beyond compare!
Rose had a love for fabric and sequins..
she saved bits and pieces over the years.
Rose even has a collection of costumes
she was given, when they were no longer of use.
Creating new outfits from these costumes
brings her Joy!

She spent most of this week creating her own dress...
and here you see she has added one more embellishment to her purse...
at the last minute!
Now she is truly ready to go out and enjoy a pleasurable evening.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
I truly appreciate your visit and I adore reading your comments!
Hugs,
Terri

Hi Terri, Rose is absolutely stunning and I'm in "love" she is just a heart stopper for sure. I'm glad you finally finished her, she was well worth the wait. I have the pattern from cloth & clay watched the videos) and still belong to the group but have been inactive as I like you tend to jump around and try new things but I have always been a doll lover all my life. You did a beautiful job!!!!!! Thanks for the visit my friend and I have missed your smiling sweet face. Take care of yourself and have a wonderful and creative weekend, Hugs Marilou

What a wonderful story...you know I could read it all in her face...what a life!
Rose is spectacular! I am curious, did the story come first or the doll?

Rose is certainly a thespian of the past and a costume designer always. I'm so happy to have met her via this post. Absolutely lovely!
Rose looks and sounds like my kind of girl. She is beautiful! And beautifully made too.
Dear Terri,
your miss Second Hans Rose is a beauty- I love her crackled skin, and beautiful outfit,-she looks so sweet and happy for all her lovely dress, and for being in such a wonderful story!
I made a few dolls also when attending the Cloth and Clay class-and enjoyed it very much-just as I can see you did, :-)
Happy Labor Day to you,Terri.
