Welcome to theraggedyannlady.com Store!

Sorry, we are out of dolls today, please check back after July 15, 2009! We are closed for inventory and business tax time!

More dolls are being made. Doll clothes will be back too. I just bought a large collection of quilt fabric and will be bringing baby quilts to the store later this summer, too!

*******WHO WE ARE:

This is a homebased business, a sole proprietorship, owned by Louis Capra and Catherine E. Hamilton-Capra dba. We do not smoke and we have no pets. Cathy has been a doll maker since 1975 and a quilt maker since 1974. Cathy has sold over a thousand handsewn Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls since she made the first one for her sister.

Due to the economy, we have scaled back our business as we need to concentrate more time on our full-time jobs outside the home. CATHY NO LONGER TAKES SPECIAL REQUESTS OR CUSTOMIZES DOLLS, because the fabrics and trims suitable for her dolls are difficult to find. We will list lots of dolls from her fabric stash!

*******Follow us on Twitter now! Cathy just opened a Twitter account, you can follow status updates on new merchandise and store news at www.twitter.com/raggedyannlady

*******WHAT WE SELL:

Dolls: All the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls have hand embroidered faces and the I love you heart. The hair is hand sewn, and the clothes have finished seams for long lasting use.
