The birth of Aliénore

Once apon a time, there was a woman who was looking for a job as she had moved in a new country. It was very difficult and to keep her head up, she decided to use some of her favourite material and cotton to make some dolls.It was hard work as she had never made a doll before.

She thought that maybe she could sell the dolls on the market by the time she could settle in this new country.

She put a lot of effort in her dolls and sometimes did some mistakes .
When she made Aliénore, she had forgotten to stich the arms of the doll. Horror!

Then she had absolutely no idea of how to make her hair look nice at the back.

To complete the catastrophic sewing mistakes on the doll, one of the legs was shorter than the other.

There was no chance for the doll to be sold at the market.

But , as all the other dolls , Aliénore went for a little stroll out once she was finished.

She had to be introduced to the world.

During the walk, the woman couldn't help but smile at the doll and realised that all the little flaws of Aliénore made her even more special.

She loved her so much !

She knew that a new member of the family had come to the world.

Such a cute smile and a twinkle in her eyes.

Since then, Aliénore had her hair done properly, both her legs have been sewn again and so were her arms.

The little doll now has a very exciting life filled with adventures that we are happy to share with you on this blog.

Here she asked me to take a picture of her as if she were Alice Liddell...

Funny Aliénore!

So , my dear friends, this is how my sweet Aliénore came to my life.

Since then,as you know, all her little flaws have been corrected but there is no way that I can part with her.

Most of you were absolutely right about the reasons why she was never sold to the market. So I decided to put all your names in a little bol at the shop and waited for a child to come and pick one of the pieces of paper.

It didn't take long before a beautiful little girl enterd the shop with her mother.

She was happy to play the game and we are now happy to reveal who is going to have a personalised doll.

Congratulations to you Tiggy!

Now, as promised, Aliénore is going to write her thank you cards to the children who have participated so I am going to pay a little visit to some of you as I haven't got your address yet.

Keep on dreaming my dear friends!
