VonCheltonDolls, Inc.

A Von Chelton Doll is first sketched on paper to emulate the image of a child's human body. Artist and owner, Sue Elaine, makes sure the angles of the fabric are carefully analyzed for each body part. Her best sketches are considered finished patterns. Because each pattern is unique, she is able to create a one-of-a-kind image. From this point, her dolls are sculpted with cloth by her own hands, leaving the finishing touches to her sewing machine and creating a child's favorite playmate.
Exquisitely designed and well proportioned, each doll wears a life-like expression. The artist believes that each doll displays an illusion of movement by holding both of their hands with both of their feet placed flat on the floor in front of the child.
"In a child's imaginary world, a doll comes to life". Elaine has designed a beautiful, original, one-of-a-kind dress specifically for each doll. Special care is taken to add feminine touches to each doll which includes undergarments, slips, crinolines, and sockes as well as other accessories like patent leather slippers and boots. In fact, a duplicate dress for your child can be made to match the dress of the doll that is purchases for her.
Each Von Chelton Doll on display is showcased in a solid wooden box hand crafted by Sue Elaine. Each box can be painted or stained to the buyer taste. Each doll comes with her own birth certificate of authenticity and some come with a unique identification number embroidered on the bottom of her foot. If you are interested in viewing and/or purchasing a doll, please visit the Von Chelton Dolls Website.

One Day While Walking

Once upon a time when I was walking,

I stumbled upon a sign that read "NO CROSSING"

The path I would take led to a bridge

I would cross to the other side.

I continued to move forward not saying

a word, although I could hear the whispers

among the trees, and the birds. It would be

a while before another bridge would be in sight,

so I continue to move on enjoying the sunlight.

As I passed the beautiful flowers that had bloomed

along the way I could hear some of the larger animals,

as they would run and play, through bushes through

the weeds and up the trees and down. This was a busy place,

much busier than the town. I spoke not a word but continued

on my way, for I couldn't wait to tell all my friends about

my day. The bridge was now upon me and I crossed it with a

smile for now I was home. I was back in town!
