Faerie Enchantment

The Dollie Follies of 1920!
For the past year I have been watching the popularity of dolls: China Head, Charlotte, Carnival, Kewpie and Blythe really soar. In my move this past fall, I boxed up so many of my studio items, including many of my china heads, kewpies and Blythe dolls, which I'm still unpacking. In those boxes you will also find The Glamour Dolls, Charlies Angels, Darcy Dolls, Spectra, Barbie, Jem, Shirley Temple, Princess Diana, Rainbow Bright, Rose Petal Place, Sea Wees, Holly Hobbie, Revelon Dolls, and more, all resting until I find them.
In my search to add to my collection of dolls I came across an auction on Ebay that was incredible, four carnival dolls from the 1920s era, complete with flapper curled haircuts, feathers and frou frou, I knew I had to have them. So I waited and waited, them the email came, you have won this auction, my day was made, they would become mine.
Then within a week, the package came and I carefully uncovered each doll, like opening up a treasure chest of surprises. From this purchase I have become overly inspired and have decided to use them as my muses for The Dollie Follies of 1920 and as the basis of my next book.

The Dollie Follies is a show similar to the Ziegfeld Follies, filled with fairytale story lines and enchantment, the lead follie star is: Sadie Marmalaide whose been in The Dollie Follies since she was 10 years old, ususally playing the role of a cupid or little pixie. Today Sadie chooses her roles and usually plays the Queen of the Fairies or Alice in Wonderland. Her lead credits include:
1. Titiana, A Midsummer Nights Dream 1920
2. Glinda, Wizard of Oz 1920
3. Alice, Alice in Wonderland 1921
4. Alice, Alice and the Flamingo Parade 1921
5. Venus, The Sea Goddess 1921
