Loretta is a
patient and loving
Siamese mom who is sincerely dedicated to being the best mother she can
be.
|
 |
When her
kitten Lulu has her worn
out and frazzled, Loretta tucks Lulu safely into her apron pocket to
keep her
from running and jumping in every direction. Then Loretta breathes a
sigh of
relief.
|

|
Lulu remains
wide awake, peeking
over the pocket at everything around her, and planning her next great
adventure.
|
 |
Loretta and Lulu are
original
one-of-a-kind works of art, created from our own design and pattern.
They are
made from 100% cotton fabric which has been sewn, stuffed, and
completely hand
painted with acrylic paints. Loretta is 13 inches tall, and Lulu is 3
inches
tall.
|
 |
Loretta’s
paws are
needle-sculpted, and her arms are button-jointed with antique-looking
buttons
of filigreed silver on black, so she can easily pose. Loretta and
Lulu’s faces
were sculpted from paperclay smoothed into their fabric heads. Their
whiskers
are made from stiffened cotton thread.
|
 |
 |
Loretta’s
curled tail supports her
so that she can sit prettily all by herself on a shelf or on a table,
or in a
cabinet. She can also sit in a chair or stand with a doll stand. (Chair
and
doll stand are not included.) Loretta
and Lulu are meant for display only.
|
 |
Loretta wears
a periwinkle blue blouse,
with a white collar and cuffs, and gold buttons. Her sleeves and tights
are
striped with purples, lavenders, blues, and burnt orange. Her kitty
feet are
covered by fancy two-toned high-button shoes with gold buttons.
|
 |
Loretta’s
charming little blue
skirt has a pattern of pink heart-shaped flowers. The attached apron
with its
gracefully curved top is white, and trimmed with lovely white lace. The pocket in her apron,
made especially for
Lulu, has an appliquéd heart, satin trim, and decorative embroidery
stitching.
|
 |
Loretta
and Lulu are signed and
dated, and sealed with matte varnish for protection and preservation.
|
 |
Many
hours go into the making of each of our dolls. We
strongly believe in fine craftsmanship and artistry, and we pay great
attention to small details. Each
doll is
a unique work of art, and we are able to produce them in only a very
limited
number. We
do our
best to create
little dolls with big personalities because that is what we love to do.
