A warm hello to all.

Please meet Second Hand  Rose... Crocheted, stuffed and needle felted..  Her arms and legs are completely needle felted in Merino and Suffolk wool.. Details were needle felted on her face.  Blushed with artists pens. Her clothes are tea stained cheese cloth fashioned by me.
 She is wearing faux pink second hand pearls..   She is 15" seated to the tip of her ears..
I hope she makes you smile.
Thank you so much for wandering over.
Roses are removable. they are dried roses from my garden.

  1. Awwwwwww, Penny, SECOND HAND ROSE!!!!!!! Tea Rat LOVES HER! Oh how he'd enjoy inviting her over for a cup of proper tea; she looks as if she knows how to take in a tall glass of iced tea on a sunny, hot summer afternoon on the porch. "Yes, Miss Second Hand Rose, your roses are looking mighty pretty this year!" says Tea Rat!!!!!!! She is Miss Old Lace, Miss lemonade on the porch, sitting on a white rocking chair, she is summer, watching all the children of the world (of all ages) go by and disappear into the last page of the night. Penny, she has SO much character. She looks as if she is remembering her childhood summer and telling us rabbit tales about it. Sit down on Miss Second Hand Rose's porch and listen.

    Precious work dearest Penny!

  7. Second hand Rose whispers to my heart. She is precious and endearing like you are Penny. Swing by my IG and see some pics of a fairytale I am writing with the ever beloved sweet petite Violet. She is on a romantic adventure with Rémi. Merci for creating sweet Violet.
    Enjoy the 4th.
    xoxo,
    Vera

  8. Hahahaha, I love her Penny! Second Hand Rose is close to my heart because I had an older sister that would hand down her clothes to me, so we shared this and that. This delightful creation is wearing second hand pearls and dried roses from your garden, how precious. This is one of my favorites, Penny; she is just darling and melts my heart. Her facial expressions are even true to her character hehehehehe.

    Happy Fourth of July, dear friend.

    ps the music is just perfect. Love
    Barbara Streisand. :)

  13. MISS ROSE! Well how do you do.......

    How are your roses, Miss Second Hand Rose? Looking mighty lovely today!

    Thank you darling friend for coming to my blog! I think my photos may be a bit LARGE in file so that could be crashing some computers upon entry of my site. Thank you for trying and succeeding!

    MUCH LOVE TO YOU!
