and i am back my dearies. as i said...idle time is not my friend. but, with that said...this is not the beginning of a huge new production line. i decided from now on that brownie-goose will be supply when i can, not supply from demand. i think i might can balance things out a bit more that way.
when i came up with BG Get Your Fall On, i touched bases with the vintage side and have been in love ever since. retro and nostalgia have really peaked for me in my styling, sewing and thinking and when i was at a birthday party and a friend brought a little hand-sewn dolly to give to the birthday girl, i almost wet my pants. i had, and i mean HAD to have one. but then, i decided that i needed to make one. i wanted one with my own spin on it. and with that, clementine was born. meet her.

doesn't she give you warm fuzzies? she does to me. i love her.
clementines will not be mass produced.
i repeat, clementines will not be mass produced. in fact, each and every clementine is hand-sewn completely by me. i use the machine to attach her hair and her dress hem, but other than that...she is created by my own two hands. she is very detail-oriented and even has her own number of authenticity sewn onto her back. i have a record of who has what number, and i intend on keeping it this way. this makes her more special to me and to BG.
i am still not sure where to price her be completely honest. i have not been able to find comparables to set pricing. she is time-consuming, and much of that is due to each detail, from her hand-embroidered freckles down to her hand-sewn felt shoes.
i currently have 3 that i am finishing up that will be on the market soon (like in next day or 2). as soon as i am finished, i will put up their photos so you can see each one. i have thought about doing them auction-style on either facebook or ebay. i really, really, really want your feedback here. what do you, as a clementine-wanter, prefer that i do? i currently have more photos of clementines that have been sent off to homes to little girls on facebook if you want an idea of what the differences may be from one to the other...

I don't know the best way to handle sales but I want one!!
I am in LOVE with Clementine!
What about if you decided how many you want to make right now and do anther lottery system like for the Fall orders???
As for the price, I would pay $30 for her...
i would not want to see you put her on ebay b/c then everyone *may* steal your design and that would stink! i am a fan of the idea that you give each one to someone that you want to have one! that makes them unique and special... to us and you! they are ADORABLE!
i am not a fan of you putting these on ebay b/c then ppl *may* steal/duplicate your design. i like the idea of you giving them to the ppl you want to have one! that makes them unique and special...to you and the person receiving! they are ADORABLE!
i need to learn to sign in first before trying to comment, sorry, new blogger has no clue what she is doing :)
She is adorable !!!!! I would love to have one !!!
Have you thought of having an etsy shop? That way you just list the number that you make and people can buy them on a first come first serve basis. Then you can add more as you have time to make them. As for the price, I think they are worth more than $30. These have got to be extremely time consuming! I've tried to make one but I like things to go quick and easy. Maybe one day I'll finish it. This company, http://tinyconcept.bigcartel.com/, sells similar dolls for over $100! They are precious but I would never pay that much!
They are definitely not worth LESS than $30.
I think a lottery system would be great and if you have any special people then you can just give it to them. I would totally enter the lottery so I could get one in hopes that I eventually have a girl!
How precious!! LOVE THEM! I need two of these for my girls Easter baskets!!
