As many of you know Jean - Prim Crafts and I only live about 8 miles apart. Lucky me!!!!

We have met , but decided to get together again yesterday. She came over to my hair salon and had her

hair cut. Darn 'I forgot to take pictures. I hope you like your hair cut Jean. Then we went out for lunch.

 But I had asked Jean if she would make me a standing prairie doll. Without hesitations she said yes, Well to

my surprise she made two instead of one, she said they were, "Prairie Sisters" !!!

Look at these dolls, aren't they the cutest ever!! I love them!!!

I love the fabrics Jean has used, I love how this one is standing.

Isn't she the cutest sister!!!

I think they are my new favorite dolls!!!! They look awesome displayed on my old hoosier!!!

Perfectly Prim, thank you Jean from the bottom of my heart, Jean is so beautiful on the inside and outside. She made these for me as a gift. I can't express in words,

how thankful and proud I am of these dolls Jean.

Look at this wonderful old sewing basket filled with old sewing notions. ( Look at the  needle pack, the old tape measure and other goodies),. she also included a quilting book.

I wanted you to see some of the prices on the threads, but they aren't showing up too well. There is some for 29 cents, some for 35 cents. Wow
