Prue has sisters; some who have moved on to other homes. Here is the latest Prudence Jane Plumb awaiting her attire. She has been waiting for a couple years! Poor thing. I will cover her with something warm now that I think of it.
There, finished!

Prudence Jane Plumb
I carved little Prudence Jane Plumb in 2000. That year I had her for sale at the Magic of Christmas show in Portland, Oregon. A lady wanted her and when she handed me $25.00 I was shocked, for you see, Prue was actually priced much higher than that! The lady seemed a bit miffed, but I had to decline the sale and it was then that I decided never to sell her.

Dear Marlys,
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it; there IS a resemblance. It's those big blue eyes, yes? And of course that strong jaw line. Well, as for whether she's from Cornwall or Summerset, England, I cannot be sure.She might even be from Devon! This will take some research.

Interesting that you mentioned Devon as some of my ancestors are from there. The Plumbs of course. I must look into this as I am certain she must be a realitive of mine. I do feel a kinship with her. The Plumbs were from Devon, Summerset, and Cornwall. When I visited England and stood in Victoria Station I felt as if I had been there before. Thank you for your sweet reply regarding the possibilty of Prudence Jane Plumb being part of my family.
ReplyDeletePrudence Jane Plumb,love the name, & love the dolly! Great job!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just adore those little penny woodens? I have a couple and find them so endearing!
Nan
She is Beautiful! And apparently did not want to part from you!

Sometimes there is a reason why our favorites don't sell - they need to stay close to our hearts! Lovely Prudence obviously enjoys being by you...
ReplyDeleteGlad you still have Prue!! She can remind you always of her worth and your worth. Dressed or not!
ReplyDeleteDear Prue had best cover up! I hear there's a strong storm brewin' and coming your way.
ReplyDeleteSo batten down the hatches and be safe.The dollies can all huddle together.Take care, Susan
Hi Christine-Good for you keeping "Dear Prudence" with you. Now, whenever I listen to The White Album I will think of you at the second song.
ReplyDeleteD.
Wonderful! I also have some of my favorites which have not sold. They are near and dear to my heart :).
ReplyDeleteI can see that Prudence was happy to not be parted from you!
All my best

Hi, Kitty,
ReplyDeleteIt is important to hang on to some of our creations, isn't it? This one might have sold if the lady had actually seen the price correctly. To this day, I'm glad she did not!

ReplyDeleteHello fellow Oregonian~
ReplyDeleteI just saw you mentioned on Vanessa's site and I love your doll Prudence! I'd love to see more, do you sell them in Salem or elsewhere? I'm glad to find this site as I'm always looking to meet other dollmakers :)
