This necklace has two strands, To memorialize the living Charlotte, an alternating glass pearl and faceted rose quartz bead strand hangs prettily above. Below, the bisque doll is enshrined inside a tiny house shaped silver frame, a window with nowhere left to go, hanging from a silver twisted link chain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove it all sits a removable blush pink peony, soft and full, the kind of flower a girl pins on when she wants to look like spring even with a storm coming. Long ribbons of dusty pink silk trail down both sides of it, torn rather than cut, the way things tend to fray at the edges of a story like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the full story: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mynostalgicsoul.com\/blogs\/stories\/frozen-charlotte\"\u003eFrozen Charlotte – My Nostalgic Soul\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic antique German bisque Frozen Charlotte doll, same early era as the original dolls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall house shaped silver reliquary frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-strand necklace: silver twisted link chain and alternating glass pearl and faceted rose quartz beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge removable blush pink peony with torn dusty pink silk ribbon streamers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of a kind — you will receive the exact necklace shown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade with love in my cottage studio in Kansas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom My Nostalgic Soul to yours. — \u003cstrong\u003eGwendalynn Grey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Nostalgic Soul","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":43049176203339,"sku":null,"price":103.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/2007\/1755\/files\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-09-01_at_9.15.46_PMa.jpg?v=1789419581"},{"product_id":"a-church-window-in-the-mourning","title":"A Church Window in the Mourning - Frozen Charlie","description":"\u003cp\u003eThey dressed her in black that morning, the way the whole town had taken to dressing since the sleigh came back.
