10″ Porcelain Madeleine & Harry from the “Sweethearts of Summer Collection” by Pamela Phillips.
Gretchen Springer, Program Director for Georgetown Collection wrote the following about Madeleine: “On this beautiful summer day, no one the fresh air, warm sun and blue sky are as she could wish. And Madeleine knows just where to find a cool breeze. As she relaxes seaside with her furry pal, Harry, she dreams that summer will never end!
Madeleine & Harry is the remarkable new doll in the elegant “Sweethearts of Summer” TM collection by Pamela Phillips. Like each doll in the collection, Madeleine celebrates the special beauty of old-fashioned girls and the timeless innocence of their childhood summers.
Inspired by her own mother’s fond recollections, Pamela Phillips has created a doll that personifies a summer. Madeleine’s clear blue eyes gaze dreamily from beneath a fringe of blond bangs, and her fair complexion has the creamy softness of a child’s.
For her day by the sea, Madeleine wears a classic sailor dress, stylishly accented with navy trim. Striped ruffles enhance the traditional shawl collar and puffed sleeves. And for the perfect finishing touch- a smart red bow, a matching hair ribbon and shiny red buckle shoes.
Importantly, Madeleine is crafted to the high standards of Georgetown Artist’s Edition. So you can be sure that every detail has been perfected to the artist’s satisfaction. Individually numbered by hand, your Madeleine bears the signature of her creator, Pamela Phillips.
Madeleine is a beautiful reminder of the innocence of childhood…and now she’s yours to treasure forever!”
I purchased the doll in 2006 from the Rescue Mission of Trenton, New Jersey.
