Have you ever had someone do
such a kind and selfless thing for you
it brings tears to your eyes?
This is Honor Goodfolk, the first doll I completed using my Izannah Walker Workshop pattern. I named her this because she was the expression of my intent to honor Izannah Walker. Honor was one of the dolls I made as a giveaway for class members. Over on Maida Dolls Group, someone made a kind comment about Honor's picture, which I had posted. And I commented back that Honor was the first doll I completed with my pattern. And then I went along my merry way.
Mary Bean was the winner of Honor, from the first class. And she saw my comment. Mary is a wonderful doll maker in her own right. She decided to send Honor home to me, saying that she felt it was right that the first Izannah doll I made with my pattern should come home to live with me. And so on Saturday I opened a box and look what was in it! My first doll made with my pattern. It was such a kind and generous thing for Mary to do. I will always keep Honor.
I think Honor needs a necklace,
and maybe a small companion to sit in her lap.

That was a beautiful gesture, Mary...and Dixie, she's lovely with her new beads.
WOW, Dixie that is really something. There is something to be said here and the name says it all, "Honor Goodfolk."
Nice Mary <3.
What a wonderful "pay it forward" gift Mary. Dixie she is lovely! :)
My heart just filled up with happiness for such a sweet and generous thing that you did Dixie in sending away such a special doll, then for Mary to return her to you that was such a noble act. I am so so happy for both of you. It really is true, there is more pleasure in giving than recieving.
Such a wonderful story ~ I think both of you are generous, caring women! :)
What a wonderful friend you have Dixie! I just visited Mary's blogs and became a follower as I just felt her warmth and genuineness shine through. I am happy for you that you have Honor back home!

Ahhh, Dixie, thanks!!! And, just look at Honor, how happy she is to be back home. Anonymous said it so well..."what a sweet and generous thing you did, Dixie, in sending away such a special doll." I love how you are spoiling her with new beads!
what a thrill for you Dixie and what a kind thing for Mary to do. I must say, Honor looks delightful with her red beads..she's right at home, where she truly belongs. A happy ending :)))
