I am proud to say I am the only doll maker invited to be in The Country Living Guild of Artisans.
This honor came as a great surprise, for I had no idea that such a Guild even existed. See Country Living Magazine, February, 2009.

About Me
- Christine LeFever
- Oregon City, Oregon, United States
- The 18th and 19th centuries intrigue me from an escape aspect, and so I surround myself with a home that reflects the beauty of these earlier times. In fact, our house was built in 1888. And yes, that is not early, since officially, "early" is defined as being prior to 1850, but for Oregon, it is worthy. I do love now, each and every moment. I love the ease of life with all that modernity affords. Combine the ambiance of olden days with the luxury of today and all is perfect. My dolls and other art forms must reflect the earlier days. Of late I am thoroughly enamored of the new Jeanne de Arc Living style, although I do not opt for the all white for my lovely old house. I dabble in garden witchery as in herbs and magickal plants for creating wonderful spells of love and health. Thank you for visiting my blog. I wish you a beautiful life.
