People have been asking, "Where are the dolls?"
.
Sometimes, that means "Where are they on the blog? I can't find them ...." and sometimes it means "What is Orchid, her friends, and her sisters, doing today?"
.
On the blog, they are scattered throughout. You scroll through, follow links, and find all sorts of doll pictures; those that we make and those which have been made by our friends.
.
For those who need to know where they are and what they're doing now, Orchid and a number of other girls, including two new ones, are once again off to Richard Gardner's studio for more photographs. When Orchid returns home in June, she will begin her music lessons with theHarpist.
.
Orchid's sister Window, whom many of you have certainly not forgotten, is home and is getting ready for a party. The better one's imagination is, the better the party will be. The party is in an elegant remote part of London at fabled DarkHouseQuarter. For the past couple of weeks I have been stitching a proper party gown for Window. A darling heart shaped bodice, miles of glittering sequin trim, taffeta ruffles and taffeta roses, all in a luscious burgundy wine color. It brings out the pink in her eyes. The MasterofDarkHouseQuarter should be very pleased.
.
For those of you who have never visited Dark House Quarter, you really should go. This is your chance. Look: Stephen has sent one of his coaches for you. Dare you go? You wouldn't want to be late. Tour the house during the day, but remember: the party goes into full swing at the stroke of midnight. Don't be afraid. Remember: Window is going.

Should you like the coach so much that you wish to have one of your own, Stephen will provide you with one from his fleet; they are a limited edition. You can purchase your very own coach here: http://poveditions.com/index.php?id=14 Travel in safety, comfort and style. I love them. Just think of all the wonderful places where the Journeyman can take you....
