My lady of Shalott....




My lady Jumeau is my only French fashion doll. She has a leather gusseted body and leather arms and hands with sewn fingers. Charlotte is wearing the tiniest, most beautiful fashion boots and although her dress is worn, it is quite correct for her day. Her bonnet is old, like she is, I am sure, from the same period of around 1870 as the fine lady herself. Her eye-color is most stunning. 






I sometimes wish she had a lady companion, but she insists that she is most pleased that a China lady lives in the same cabinet. Charlotte befriended her upon her arrival and they are now standing side-by-side peeking out through the glass.
