Famous Victorians...in arts and crafts form

All hail the teeny, crocheted, Queen Victoria from The Wee Dinkum Trading Company! She is so adorable, she even comes with her own little scepter (not pictured here). Why has no one thought of crocheted royalty before??

Raven? Check. Bloody quill? Check. Dark quote and twitchy little black mustache? Check and check. This print from Senioritis has everything you love about Poe all wrapped up in one lovely piece of work.

Keep your papers stylishly weighted down while being inspired by one of the greatest poets of the nineteenth century! This paperweight from Ephemeralogie features a picture of Emily Dickinson against a salvaged library card- neat!

Where to even start. If you have a penchant for Victorian literature, finger puppets, and good clean fun, you really can't live without this. This Charles Dickens greeting card from DearDeerDesigns doubles as a finger puppet. You have to check out the whole series!

I love the crocheted Queen Victoria! This adorable doll reminds me of the yarn dolls my sister and I made when we were WEE little girls...but this one is MUCH more sophisticated!

Wonderful feature, I love senioritis' print! The finger puppet card is also very cool, found some new shops to heart.
