Ripe Plums Are Falling

Her dress is silk fusion. She stands 20" tall. “Ripe Plums are Falling” was inspired (as many of my dolls are) by a poem. This one is from the Chinese Book of Songs, written about 600 B.C.

ripe plums are falling
now there are only five
may a fine lover come for me
while there is still time

ripe plums are falling
now there are only three
may a fine lover come for me
while there is still time

ripe plums are falling
i gather them in a shallow basket
may a fine lover come for me
tell me his name
