Announcement    Welcome to Gingerberry Creek at Etsy! I am the creator of Whimsical Primitive Doll Patterns. Here you will also find many supplies to create your own Gingerberry Creek Primitive Doll. From time to time you may also find a NEW Finished Handmade Primitive Doll which is the Original Design created to Validate the NEW Pattern, also known as the Validation Piece. Now and again I may decide to re-create one of my previous designs just for fun! So be sure to make Gingerberry Creek a favorite shop and get notified when new patterns and supplies are available. By the way, All of the Wool Felt, and other Doll Supplies are what I use when creating my Primitive Doll Designs.

Currently, my patterns are offered in 2 formats.
~~Paper Pattern Format~~ These come pre-printed in a resealable ziploc bag. Each pattern will have a Cover Page with Supply List, General Information Page, Written Pattern Instructions Page(s) and Pattern Template Page(s). Paper Patterns require shipping from Gingerberry Creek.

~~E-Pattern or Instant Digital Pattern~~ These patterns are purchased and downloaded by you (the buyer). Once payment is made you will download and save the PDF file to your computer. You can then print it from your printer at your convenience. All E-Patterns include the same pages that are in the Paper Patterns, minus the resealable ziploc bag. Since you download and print from your computer, there is no waiting and no shipping costs are incurred. This pattern format is great for everyone, especially those that are International.

*Custom Orders*
Due to the popularity of my designs it's becoming more difficult finding the time to create New designs. For this reason I am only accepting Custom Orders for finished handmade primitive dolls on an individual basis. This is determined based on number of dolls requested, desired timeline and my current order lineup. If requiring dolls for the Holidays, please request by September in order to allow the allotted time for processing. As always, Pattern Validation Dolls will be available for purchase once New Pattern Designs are available.

*Order Processing & Shipping*
Orders are processed in the order in which they are received. We ship daily, Monday thru Friday. We do not ship on Saturday, Sunday or on recognized US Holidays. We make every effort to ship orders prior to designated shipping time frame. Requests for expedited shipping are considered but are not guaranteed.
