2009 Collection

Anne of Green Gables NEW

NEW from Heather Maciak!

Prince Edward Island's own Anne of Green Gables! Straight out of L.M. Montgomery's beloved classic, our Anne (with an "e") arrives looking much as she would have when Matthew first picked her up at the Bright River train station...flame red braids, sturdy boots, black stockings, plain dress and work pinny, clutching her carpet bag. And in her carpet bag? Her very own nightgown, scrubbed into whiteness, and a well-loved copy of Anne's very favorite poem, "The Lady of Shalott." If we fast forward into the story, we find the beautiful dress that shy Matthew buys Anne...with the puffiest puffed sleeves in the world! Of course, Anne also needed white stockings and dressy shoes to go to the ball with her best friend Diana.

(Anne's clothing is by Boneka. Her bag is from Canadian artist Diana Wieler's La Boutique studio. Her poetry book comes from Dateman Books in England.)

Included: 
8" full porcelain Anne by Heather Maciak
2 dresses
1 pinafore
1 long sleeved nightgown
2 pairs of tights
1 pair of shoes
1 pair of boots
1 satchel
1 hardback mini-book

The complete set is $246.50

Forget Me Not Jenny & Lexie NEW

Forget-Me-Not Jenny and Forget-Me-Not Lexie are Basic Dolls that were a collaboration among doll artist Heather Maciak, clothing designer Rosemarie Ionker, and me as a special for Little Princess Frocks. 

As "basic" dolls, they are intended to be dressed by YOU in a special costume you've made or commissioned or purchased... (If you are looking for patterns, Click HERE to purchase patterns drafted by Heather herself!)

Like the hidden painted heart on each little girl, these two wear their matching 
"Forget-Me-Not" flowers in a special place!

Jenny and Lexie came up with the idea because there is an older woman, Mrs. Mac, in their neighborhood who is a wonderful friend to all the children. She knew that Lexie and Jenny were best friends, so one day she showed them the special flower tucked in a corner of her garden...the sweet little blue forget-me-not with the tiny yellow center. It was planted years and years earlier when Mrs. Mac was a little girl by her best friend Margie.

She also taught them a little verse that she and Margie always said to each 
other ... 

"When the golden sun is setting 
And your mind from care is free 
When of others you are thinking 
Will you sometimes think of me? 

When the golden sun is setting 
And the birds are flitting free 
When of dear ones you are thinking 
Won't you sometimes think of me. 

Think of me when you are happy 
Keep for me one little spot 
In the corner of your memory 
Plant a sweet forget me not."


(Most of this is a true story...one of my dearest friends, Helene MacNeill, always said the last three lines whenever we were saying "goodbye." Helene was truly an amazing woman, and these sweet little Forget-Me-Not friends are my tribute to her!)

Each doll is $105.00

Elfin Jenny & Lexie 

I have always wanted to create an Elfin creature, with antennae & tiny wings & funny little shoes with curled-up toes. This is the child’s version of that vision- whimsical and appealing, but still in the world of a child’s imagination. These two little monkeys are all set to get into lots of mischief! 

Their stripey tights & t-shirts are topped by adorable felt jumpers, embellished with hand embroidered felt flowers. Stocking caps and bright leather Maryjanes complete their ensembles. Can you picture Lexie, scuttling through the bushes in her backyard, playing at being an elf and dragging poor little Jenny along with her? 

They are limited to an edition of 101 in these costumes

Each doll is $155 each.

2007 Collection

Meet Lexie!

Hi! My name is Lexie, and I just turned five last week. I have red hair in braids and my eyes are brown. I also have freckles, which I don’t like, but Mummy says that’s where the sun kissed me. My favourite color is red, but I don’t have very many red clothes, because Mummy says red doesn’t match my hair. 


Lexie Playtime Doll In Stock!

I have a little sister and two big brothers. I also have a best friend, named Jennifer, but I just call her Jenny. Jenny really likes to come to my house because she says there’s always something going on. My room has bunk beds, and when Jenny comes for a sleepover, I let her have the top bunk. I also have a gerbil named Finnegan- he lives in a cage in my room, and Jenny and I get to feed him lettuce for a treat. 

Lexie All Dressed Up Doll In Stock!

I have a tire swing in my backyard that my Daddy put up for us, but we have to take turns with my brothers. Sometimes, Jenny and I go over to the playground and skip rope. Jenny tries to run in when I’m skipping, but she’s not too good at it yet. No matter what we do, we always have fun, because we’re best friends! 


Lexie Ship Ahoy Doll In Stock!

Meet Jenny! 

Hi! My name is Jenny, and I’m almost five years old. I have blonde hair that my Mummy usually puts in ponytails, and my eyes are china blue. My favourite colour is pink, and I have a kitten named Patches. Mummy says she is a calico cat, which I think is a funny name. 


Jenny Playtime Doll In Stock!

Lexie likes to come to my house, because it’s so nice and quiet. I have a fancy bed with a canopy, and Lexie thinks it’s way prettier than her bunkbeds. I have a special shelf in my room that my dad built for me. It has my storybook dolls on it, and we have to be very careful when we play with them. I don’t have any brothers or sisters, but there’s a secret- there’s a baby in Mummy’s tummy! I have to be very patient- I hope it’s a sister for me! 

Jenny All Dressed Up Doll In Stock!

Sometimes, Lexie and I draw a hopscotch on the front sidewalk. I have a fresh box of chalk, and I always use my lucky chain. But our favorite thing to do is play dress-up. I have a playhouse in my backyard, and my dad built a dress-up trunk for me. Lexie and I are going to be best friends forever and ever.
