Jean Nordquist's Paper Crafts

Jean Nordquist has an absolutely fabulous and huge collection of vintage and antique paper items- labels, paper-covered trunks, boxes, games, cards- everything imaginable!  I use her paper items to make my craft kits and finished items.  You can buy her paper sets yourself, too, if you'd like to make many items and don't mind hunting down the other materials.  She makes kits for all sizes of dolls, so be sure to be attentive to her detailed description of which size doll it is for.  Her items are on ebay: http://myworld.ebay.com/jean-and-ken/.

Cat's Paw

Cat's Paw hand-makes all sorts of metal doll accessories.  They are very high quality and I use them for my sewing kit accessories (scissors, thimbles, etc.) and jewelry items.  They carry items for all sizes of dolls.  http://catspawonline.com/?clf
