Why You'll Love Her
Discover “Grandma Reverie,” a poignant OOAK clay doll by Marcia Backstrom. This contemplative Victorian granny, with snowy hair and gold-rimmed glasses, sits in all-black mourning attire.
She rests in a signed wicker rocking chair (Marvin & Barbara Tate), holding a tiny blonde doll in her lap. Rich in emotion and storytelling, she’s perfect for a parlor, nursery, or fireside vignette.
