ABOUT ANNE GEDDES:
Anne Geddes, was born on September 13, 1956 and at her age of 63 she continues to move us with each of her special photographs. Although she is of Australian origin, she currently lives and works in New York.
-----Geddes books have been published in 83 countries and, according to various sources, has sold more than 18 million books and 13 million calendars - where much of his artistic work is located. In 1997, Cedco Publishing sold more than 1.8 million calendars and appointment books with the excellent photography of Geddes. His debut book, "Down in the Garden," came to the New York Times bestseller list, translating his books into 23 different languages.
-----The author has not been satisfied with having only an exclusive photograph of precious babies in dreamlike environments, full of flowers and fantasy, but has given free rein to reproduce those babies in doll format.
Now you can acquire a photographer's life's work in the form of a beautiful sleeping doll.
-----Anne Geddes has managed to transmit the calm beauty of a baby's dream, surrounding it with a scene that we could only glimpse in the deepest of our dreams, thus penetrating the audience of different ages passionate about art, photography and babies.

Some General Info re: Silver charms and bracelets in our listings
--FYI: it is not unusual for sterling charms to be unmarked from this era: many charms came unmarked on display sales cards that had the maker and metal info; as well as jewelry items under a certain weight did not have to be hallmarked.
--FYI: Rhodium is in the Platinum family of metals.
It was often used in the 50s-70s to plate sterling silver to avoid tarnishing,
In the Rhodium plating process, 925 Sterling Silver is given a nickel underplate prior to Rhodium plating. The nickel is magnetic and causes the magnetic attraction.
--FYI: Sterling 925 or Euro Silver 800, 835, 900 - vintage European silver is highly collectible.

PLEASE NOTE ABOUT THE CLOTHING/WEARABLES WE LIST: Any clothing /shoes/accessories we list are helping us to clean out our own closets, to empty boxes of stored goods from a friend’s boutique that went out of business, and to find homes for garments from catalog photoshoots. We sell as-is with no returns. We are now retired and moving things forward before we ourselves “move forward!!!”
---For all clothing/wearables we sell - new and especially used - we check for holes, tears, wear, spots, or any other imperfections before we list.  Whether new or used, we have made every attempt to note any flaws in our listings, but may miss something due to aging eyes and/or sheer ignorance about a particular item.
---We ask you to understand that even if we missed something in the description, you are still getting a BARGAIN compared to buying retail, so YOU may need to have the item cleaned, shaped, restored, refreshed, get a button replaced, stitch where threads have come loose, whatever...
----Many are just simply wrinkled from storage... Many can be worn as they are, but would benefit from a pressing or cleaning at winner's discretion -- especially worn garments, or even if clothing in new "store" condition, with or without tags, or New Old Stock, because they were once hanging on racks or in store displays, handled by shoppers, dumped in carts, possibly dropped, certainly tried on, some taken home & then returned to store, -- and/or often have a dingy look from dust and light soiling from handling, or evidence of being in storage.
THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING, LOOKING, & IF YOU PURCHASE --- WEAR/USE IN GOOD HEALTH!!!
PALINDROMES rule!
