Ok, so I am dating myself a bit, but do you remember the jingle from the old Burger King commercial?  “Hold the pickle; hold the lettuce special orders don’t upset us….”  Well that applies here at TMW too.  Not only on our product lines on the main level of the store, but our crafters are always willing to go the extra mile to please the customer.  Even our antique dealers will take requests for special items that you may be looking for.  If they find it in their travels, they will bring it in and we will notify you. 

I just had to share this story with you so you can see just how special you are to us.  Our good friend and customer Dawn collects the primitive dolls made by our very talented Pam.  Dawn had asked if Pam could make three dolls in memory of her three beloved Grand Mothers.  I asked Dawn what she remembered most about each of them and jotted it down for Pam. 

Dawn’s memories of Grandma Ruth revolved around their summer visits to her cottage in Westerly.  Grandma Ruth always wore an apron and had short grey hair.  I don’t know if you can tell from the picture or not, but the apron for the Ruth doll has “she sell seashells by the seashore” stitched on it and the print on her dress is nautical.  Dawn’s memories of Grandma Dorothy are of her love of the color lilac and that she always wore an apron while teaching Dawn to cook & bake.  The doll is wonderful with her signature short grey hair, lilac dress and she is holding an armful of cooking and baking supplies.  Dawn spoke of her Nana Gladys having short black hair, always wearing an apron and that her favorite flower was the pansy.  Well, Pam came through with a loving rendition of Nana Gladys wearing a sweet dress with pansy print!  There was so much thought and love put into these dolls, as Pam does with all her creations.  Dawn now has three wonderful dolls to remember her beautiful grandmothers by. Let us know if there is something special you are looking for.  Remember, special orders don’t upset us; in fact many of them touch our heart as this one did.
