Terri of Etsy shop Terristouch does charity work for a children's advocacy center through an organization called "Dolly Mamas"- a subgroup of her quilting guild. Here is a link to the guild's homepage.
They are hosting a live auction at a quilting show on Saturday, September 19th in order to help support their charity work. Here is the link to more information on the quilting guild's auctions for this event.
If you'd like more information about the auction, or children's advocacy centers-- please feel free to convo Terri via the Etsy shop site where it says "contact terristouch" on the right side menu. :)
How does The Doll Wardrobe fit into all of this?
Well over here in Badger's Wood we wanted to help out the guild's charitable activities and so we sent off a Chrissa doll for the big auction to accompany all of the handmade clothing the Dolly Mamas created. Look below to see a slideshow of all the clothing and accessories that will come with the Chrissa doll! Aren't they just fantastic!?! We were so impressed we all of the hard work that was put into this auction. You will see school clothing, sports uniforms, fancy dresses and so much more. There are even tee shirts for each month of the year!
Thank you Terri for sharing with us these pictures
of all this amazing doll clothing!
You and the rest of the Dolly Mamas should be
very proud of all your hard work and creativity!

The folks in Badger's Wood are some of the most generous folks I know. I can never thank Nora enough for her donation to this auction.
I'll share just briefly here what the Dolly Mamas do. We buy the inexpensive Springfield Collection dolls at Michael's (using our coupons of course) and dress them. Each doll is placed in a hand made tote bag with a doll sized quilt and pillow, pajamas, school clothes and party dress. She also has hair accessories and a knitted hat or sweater. These dolls are then given to our local child advocacy center who in turn gives them to young girls who have been sexually abused, just after they have had their pelvic exam. We are trying, in our own small way, to give these young girls their childhood back. It is one of the most heartwarming projects I have ever been involved with. I get goose bumps every time I talk about it. If any of you want to do something similar in your community please feel free to contact me and I'll share with you the details on how we do this.

That is amazingly sweet and very generous. Thanks terristouch, all the "Dolly Mamas", and Penny!
God bless you, Terri and the other Dolly Mamas. Teddy Bears are given to abused children here.
I wish that there wasn't ever a need but I'm grateful to people that step up to help.
Hugs ^j^ Mrs.C. aka Donna Cotterman
Hugs to Badger's Woods folks (and dolls) for your generous donation. Touches my heart.
