Jean & Ken Nordquist Antiques & Collectibles

I am pleased to announce the release of my newest project, a vintage style sewing album to memorialize your sewing projects, especially for doll clothing but which could include quilting, hand sewing, knitting, embroidery, or collections of sewing items. I call this my pandemic project because it took me over the past year to gather all images from my vintage paper collection especially of trade cards and sewing images from sewing toys like antique sewing machines. This project was designed using 49 and market scrapbook products including their Essential Binder, 6"x8" paper collections pack, stitched frames, rub ons, ephemera bits, and waterfall enclosure. My product includes over 300 sewing images, over 70 sewing phrases, and 22 pages of layouts showing you exactly what I used and where. Also included are lots of extra images which would work well making greeting cards orsewing related toys for dolls.

Just released Jean Nordquist's newest project on reproducing over 95 Tuck paper toys and dolls taken from her antique and vintage paper collection. Includes many styles of paper toys, many with moving parts or that rock in different ways. The sizes range from 2" to 6" in height. These require good scissor cutting skills so can be created by children of all ages who can cut on the line. Jean includes many photos showing assembly instructions and giving many ideas for incorporating into projects such as Christmas tree ornaments, albums, greeting cards, and just good old fun. Project shipped in USA free.

We are pleased to announce the availability of our most popular Bliss dollhouse kit, our 19" keyhole reproduction. We sold out last summer and Ken has now finished a limited number for sale again. When complete this wonderful kit makes a dollhouse replica that's hard to tell from the original. It's front swings open to reveal the interior which you wallpaper with that included. This is also the largest dollhouse kit that we sell. We invite you to check it out both on ebay and on our website www.jeannordquist.com under wood kits. Thanks for looking.

Create this darling display for the center of your Easter dinner this year or display on a shelf or mantle during this holiday season. May also be used just for filling the candy boxes and adding them to a special Easter basket. These vintage boxes would also look great donning an Easter tree along with other miniature ornaments. This is an easy project that could be done with children along with their annual egg dying. This flat paper kit includes 11 pages of boxes to cut out to create 10 boxes to score, cut out, fold, and glue together. Also included are 22 photos showing complete process plus lots of instructions, resources and suggestions. A great project to do right now if you are confined to home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

By popular request I have released my French doll writing desk known as a "Papeterie" as a stand alone project. The paper only parts are also included in my first Huret project VPDJN122. This new release includes everything so the seal, ink well, feather pen, wax, and gold display are also included. My papeterie is sized to fit with dolls sizes 14" to 22" tall. My Huret fashion loves it. :) The product number is VPDJN129 and it is priced at $25 and includes "free" shipping.

Just in time to create for Christmas display, Jean Nordquist's new 10-1/2 long die cut chipboard sleigh can be filled with what ever goodies, toys, ornaments, Santas, and/or dolls both old and/or new that you desire. This easy to assemble kit will also display beautifully with a Bleuette, an 11-1/2" doll, seated within. Any dolls or figures approximately miniature sized to 12" can work. The display kit also includes a base so other collectibles may be arranged around the sleigh. This is a replica of an antique sleigh that utilized lots of cotton on the sleigh and contents and one version of my replica duplicates this effect. There are also 5 smaller die cuts and three pages of over 100 small paper toys and other included for you to use for making items to display within the sleigh if you do not care to use small items you have collected over the years like I have shown.

Jean Nordquist has just released a replica of a Bliss alphabet chair sized to fit dolls 11" to 18" tall. Bleuette just loves this chair. Our version is a reproduction of a very rare ca. 1900 paper covered wooden chair with 14 pieces to assemble.

Just released is my 16th trunk sized 7-1/4" long by 4-1/8" high by 5-1/8" deep. It was designed to display my new 200 plus accessories with a 15" to 16" Huret child fashion doll. It includes not only the assembled wooden trunk but also a trunk tray to make, metal feel to glue on, twill tape to support the top when open and complete graphics and assembly instructions.
