I have a new doll! A tiny Greek Soldier that Jackie from Butterstone at White Oak blog sent me.
She kept it for years waiting to find a good home for him. And she asked me if I would like to have him. I was excited to get this special doll and found a spot on my bookcase to display him.
(I've moved him to the top left in place of the bird card)
Thanks Jackie! I'll treasure him.
And I saved one of my books to share in this post. I bought this big book of doll patterns at the library book sale last week.
(the dark red book in the center of the shelf)
Aren't the illustrations sweet?
And there are lots of patterns in the back.
It's really a treasure trove of ideas!

Diane, What a sweet gift. I love it on the book shelf with your other dolls. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
What a sweet book, and thanks for buying from your local library! Love the little soldier doll. Priceless!
Hope you have a great week! We are having terrible flooding here in Missouri! Raining again today :(
I am so pleased to have found a wonderful home for him! When I lived in Iowa, I refinished (I didn't know the word repurpose back then) items to sell. I purchased a box of odds and ends at a thrift store because I wanted the knobs/hardware pulls. This little guy was under all that stuff. Other than the missing crown, he seemed to be in good condition with only a tiny bit of paint off his sweet face. I wanted to find him a good home but did not know anyone that collected dolls other than very specific ones. That was five or six years ago and I just kept him, knowing someday I would find him a good home. You are a dear blogging friend so I am very happy that you wanted him! Take care, Jackie
How sweet of your friend!
Show us when you whip up any of those patterns. They do look sweet.
What a special gift ~ love the doll ~ special people sharing ~
Happy Week to you ~ ^_^
He certainly found a good home and he looks perfect on your bookshelf :)
Hugs to you, sweet friend!
What a great book! I love library book sales. Such a sweet dolly you received. :)
What a wonderful, wonderful gift, Diane. I love it. My mother used to have quite a doll collection but they are all gone now...sad....
What a great book. I see some creating in your future using those patterns. xo Diana
What a treasure your friend gifted to you, Diane. She knew exactly who would take excellent care of this special doll. I love how you have displayed the small dolls. And the book looks like it was made for you. Have a great afternoon. ♥
What a lovely gift.
Yes, it is important to take time to play. : )
What a cute little guy and he looks adorable on your book shelf. I really like the way you have arranged the dolls amongst the books! It seems like forever that we have visited but I am going to start following you through email...the best way to get posts from my favorite people! Thanks for visiting me too! Hugs to you, Diane
How special. He's found a very good home. I love how you always inspire us to play. Love the illustrations too.

Such a sweet and thoughtful gift; I know you will treasure the doll.
I love the illustrations in the book, too. A great find.
So cute Diane. Thank you for the link. I am linking to this post right now. (I was sick and offline, just now seeing the post).
What a sweet little soldier. He looks charming in his uniform. I am sure he will fit right in with all the other doll friends at your home. Lucky you to find the doll pattern book. It looks like there is a lot of inspiration to keep you creating for years to come.
How lovely for you! I love books!!!!!
What a treasure!

Your Greek soldier is simply charming, Diane. And I smiled right away, as I'm part Greek myself. You found just the right place for him on your book shelf. His little uniform looks cute on him. What a special treasured gift from your blog friend.
love, ~Sheri
What a special treat! Your book looks like a real treasure.

...the local Greek Festival is coming up, great food music and dancing.
What a great gift! Your doll is a handsome fellow. Thanks for linking up this week. Hope to see you back again next week!
How sweet! We got quite a bit of rain today, so you probably will too. It really cooled things off.
What a wonderful gift from another sweet blogger! You never know what will come your way as a result of blogging. It has rained for 9 days here. We about to float away! Happy weekend!
A beautiful doll, he looks good on the shelf.
All the best Jan
Lucky you, Diane, to come across that big book of doll patterns! I always like seeing your shelves, a lot like mine. Lol. What a sweet little soldier. So glad he's found a home on your shelf. I hope he's a reader. ☺
