Hi!
Please come in and ride the magic carpet with me today. My name is Sarah, and Circles of Rain is my place for following the ever expanding circles of beauty and friendship in the wonderful world of blogging!
Lisa of A Whimsical Bohemian is our lovely host and the creator of One World One Heart. Visit her to see the ever expanding list of participants!
I would like you to meet William. He is joining us on the journey and in a couple of weeks will be going on a journey of his own to live somewhere new! He is aware that some people find dolls a little freaky but he is willing to forgive that, and try to persuade you otherwise, should he come to live with you!
William is of a serious nature-he loves to read and sometimes feels he just has to listen, and books will talk to him. Here you can see him listening carefully. He has a vivid imagination and likes to think that sometimes he is a King of Words-hence the fancy gold crown. For more down to earth days he wears his little cap.
William is made from polymer clay, and fixed together with wire. (Don't tell him, he doesn't realise) His clothes are hand sewn and made from a variety of fabrics from my ever growing collection! On his shirt are the words 'Possible Play Thing'. This is of the imaginative variety of play rather than the very touchy feely, rough and tumble type. He is not safe for young children to play with as he has got wire parts-but they could tell him stories as he would love that and it might make him a little less serious!Can I just mention too, that he comes with a ribbon wrapped wire stand so that he can, well, stand! I am not the world's expert on stand making but it seems to work. He stands approx. 20cm tall.
Aah! William has just found out about the magical journey he is about to embark on-look-a little bird told him!
William is on the carpet and ready to fly! For a chance to give William a new home, please leave a comment on this post between now and midnight of 14th February GMT. William's winner will be announced on 15th February!
Thanks for visiting, see you at your place!

a good listener with a vivid imagination; handy when you want to talk and when you want to hear a good story ~ you win both ways!
Love the story behind your new doll!
Oh I do think that William might like to come and live with Pippa. He looks more worldly and intelligent, she does need that sort of ballance! Love his hat!
wow, i really like william, i'd love to give him a new home!
here we go again!
Fabulous! Love him! Hope he comes to live with me, he'd like it here! Please come and visit my blog too! Thank-you!
William is wonderful and his story is even better! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I just know William would love living in my studio! Please add my name to the hat!

Greetings from bonny Scotland
I will read a story to William and he can read one right back to me.
Love you Sarah, been feeling not great lately but hopefully soon.
Hope you are well dear friend.
Love Renee xoxo
Thanks for visiting my blog: www.knutzels.nl
Your doll is stunning.
Love the doll Sarah! You're creations are so well done. I love the his story. Stop over to see my offerings!
I love your William. He looks quite regal.
I think William is fabulous! He reminds me of someone else I know rather well that stands just a little taller than William. I would love to have him as an addition to our home, he would be in good company.
Stop by my blog if you haven't already for a chance to win a beaded doll - all she needs is a name.
Have fun on the rest of your "ride"
William is just too cool! Love him!
Oh, he is so awesome, would love a chance to win him.
debby
Very nice! Count me in! Thanks a lot! I'd love to win this! :]
William would love it here. He would be surrounded by books and a cat who would spoil him. The magic carpet might even be available, but it would hover at my place.
Oh girl drop me into the drawing pronto..lol...I have one too.
xoxoxoxo
Oh, he's calling my name. Wants to live at my house. Please throw my name in the hat and be sure to visit my blog to do the same.
I also make art dolls (I'm #162 on Lisa's list) and William would fit right in here! I would love to give him a home....don't find dolls freaky at all LOL!
*smiles from Canada*

William is wonderful, please include me in your giveaway.
He is just lovely Sarah! As Shell says, I find him quite regal. Even in his cap. It's not the crown (although he wears that well), he's just so dignified. And I bet if anyone can fly a magic carpet with style, it's William.
I have a room on my shelf all ready for William, and he is so welcome.
William is awesome!
Thank you for the chance to give him a new home.
And thank you for taking the time to visit my OWOH blog yesterday!
What a wonderful giveaway you're offering! I'd love to enter and you can enter on my blog as well. #227 on the magic carpet.
Hello, I would love to give William a new home. Please add me to your cyber hat. He would be happy here!!!

Hi Sarah! Thanks for visiting my blog, now I got to visit yours. I would give William a good home if I should be so lucky to win him!
Would it help if I said I'm a anglophil, love Brithish crime novels, movies, grew up with Wodehouse, used to work a lot in London some years ago, and have been visiting frequently ever since??:-)
Sarah~your King of Words doll William is fantastic! To me he looks like he originally hails from Morocco leaving behind a rather colorful past:) He would make a perfect companion to one of my dolls Elodie (she is only one of a few dolls I kept for myself):)
I would love for William to make a journey to my house!! Thanks for the chance to bring him my way!
Sherry
William is more than welcome to come live in my studio. He'll have many friends here.

william,
Come and visit and see our giraffes and zebras and elephants, and the image of Victoria Falls will delight you...there is so much to experience on our shelves, and in the night, perhaps you will see the animals walk, the water fall, and hear the heartbeat of the drums...it is a journey of a lifetime to a place called home.
