Welcome to My Red Cape. Long ago in another time my husband Jack and I lived in a little old red house. It was the stuff of dreams to us for the few years that we were there. I live there still a number of hours every day in imagination, with old dolls and paintings and fabrics and feather trees. I draw inspiration and happiness from the memories of that space in time and share some of it here with friends who remember how to step with Alice through the looking glass and take delight in whimsies and antiquities. ~Edyth O’Neill

A nice day with friends

Yesterday the antique study club I enjoy so much met in the big log home of my friend Penny.  It was a beautiful party in every way, but the part I want to share here is the little doll that lives in Penny's kitchen on the counter. Petite and business like, it is clear the doll is most  helpful there and never in the way.  She is Jan Conwell's little Cinderella, and elicited many cries of admiration from the guests.  The tiny mouse on the doll's head scarf, and the bird on the end of her broom, and the well executed clothing were all noted.  Beloved doll person Helen P. Took this picture of Ciderella, as I was without my camera.  E
