Polly Pram Dolly
£11.50
The pram was spied up on a shelf at Hemswel Antique Market, well it had to be snapped didnt it? The dolly, well, is one of my own, I can’t remember where she was found, but here she is printed, cut out and collaged, she is not particularly happy she is back in a pram as she was born in 1942. The background is a 1030s silk handkerchief I purchased from Newark Antique fair.

The Minx!
£6.00
This is one of a range of cards designed as a bit of a tease, the outside to tantalise and beguile, the inside to surprise and amuse in the tradition of the saucy seaside postcards. All cards are designed, handmade and printed using recycled or surplus card. Boob cards are embellished with bits and bobs gleaned from a variety of local chazza shops and bargain bins. This collection of cards features an image owned by The Met Art Gallery in New York who have generously made it available in the public domain. It is called Beauty Revealed and was a self portrait painted in 1850 by Sarah Goodridge as a gift for a widower she held a torch for called Daniel Webster, Steamy eh? Sadly, he went off and married another…….awks!
Colour of tassles may vary to that shown. Don’t forget to keep those tassels away from tiny hands and paws.

Baby Grumpling – 4 pack
Baby Grumpling – 4 pack
£4.00
Baby Grumpling is a 1930s celluloid doll bought at a local auction, originally for a dear friend until I discovered they can burst into flames spontaneously. As burning her house down was not the most supportive way to celebrate her Birthday she is now mine and has found a home in the studio, well away from the house, alongside a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket. In this image she is rocking a little crochet number to ensure entry to the Royal Enclosure. Her tip for the one thirty at Chepstow is Stonking Fandango.

I just love old, printed stuff which has been squirrelled away for yonks, so there is no time but the present to release it and share. Please be aware that the embellishments on this card do vary, depending on what I can get my hands on, but all are fab-u-lous.
The message inside the card can be customised, for this service contact me on Hello@milesfromthenearestlemon.co.uk . Price dependent on message length, otherwise it is left blank for you to wax lyrical on.
