Eppie Peppercorn began when I was 12-years-old. My younger sister, age 7, refused to take a bath. Trying to encourage her to stay in the tub, I offered to tell her the adventurous tale of Eppie Peppercorn, the elf who lived in our spice cabinet. Eppie Peppercorn--mischievous and tiny--kept the cabinet tidy and always smelled of cinnamon. Though petite, she was brave, clever and creative. She fought pirates, played with pixies and followed us to school. Each night, at bath time, I would tell another tale of Eppie P. Peppercorn and her companion, Tulip Petal Pearl. The stories I wrote about Eppie Peppercorn are almost twenty-years old, and still treasured by my family. |
Each doll I make for Eppie Peppercorn Designs, LLC has a unique personality. My child dolls are simple and huggable with sweet faces and fun patterned clothing. They are meant to be companions—large enough to hold, but still small enough to slip into a backpack or suitcase. My newest fashion dolls encompass a range of styles and tastes. Some of my dolls are trendy and edgy. Others are sweet and refined. Depending on what fabric I use, they are soft and posable, or stiff soft-sculpture and meant for display.
