Tom Sawyer Doll and Antique School Desk

This is my "3 year old" doll, Natalie, that I received as a Christmas gift as a child. She can walk if you manually maneuver her arms. I sewed this dress for her to fit in with the old school theme.
I made this Tom Sawyer doll from a Vogue pattern many years ago. I also made the accompanying Becky Thatcher doll. The face is hand painted. This doll sits on my antique school desk made sometime in the latter half of the 1800's. Tom holds an old school book that once belonged to my husband's grandmother who was a teacher.
