    Thank you for posting my doll!! I really enjoyed making her!!
    I love the simplictic beauty of the Izannah Walker Doll..but mainly.... the mystery behind each doll! I would love to know if they were really portrait dolls...since each one is so different in it's look?Plus...HOW were they obtained in the 1800's and also....what was the price?

    Hugs,
