Anyone else remember their Fisher Price Little People A Frame house like I do? It was the best! Now, Land of Nod has created an upgrade, and I’m even more in love. This A-Frame Dollhouse has the same charm, but with so many sweet improvements I don’t know where to start. Using wood and acrylic […]

An interesting thing is happening over on Instagram. Have you noticed? Small handmade businesses are selling out so fast that practically the only way to find their goods is to keep up to date through their Instagram Feed. Little Miss Tippy Toes is a great example. She makes these gorgeous handmade dolls, with superb attention […]

What’s a doll if it doesn’t have the right wardrobe, am I right? Dollisimo clearly knows the importance of doll clothes. Her sweet (and affordable!!) dolls come with several clothing items – skirts, shirts, sweaters, bags, teddy bears – which are all mix and matchable and very cool chick chique. I also love the mother-daughter […]

I just finished reading a lovely little novel set in the late 1700’s. Somehow, these dolls feel a bit like they came out of that era, with a little twist, of course! Henry Pip and Dee hand makes each doll just for you – with custom options if you prefer, or made-to-order dolls to choose […]

love your sweet dollface

I suppose the official term for these beauties is rag dolls. But I have a hard time putting those words with these dolls! Reminding me of very refined dolls by Jess Brown, these sweethearts from Dollface are a tad bit more affordable. Also, they have a little more glitter and whimsy that’s extra endearing to the […]

These sweet stuffed friends have all kinds of magic packed into their soft bodies. Handknit with 100% lambswool, each pal features just enough unique detail to feel very special. But I think each of these friends from Lauvely have stories that are just as cute. Mermaid Marina builds the best sandcastles, and loves to listen to […]

For the first time in weeks, I had a slower, calmer work day yesterday. It was almost pleasant. I had time to answer my emails, wrap up some loose ends on a few projects, and in general, breathe. All in all, I felt much like these sweet dolls from Kathryn Davey. Calm faces, restful poses, […]

a treehouse better than your dollhouse

Let’s start with the fact that Land of Nod has just announced their Holiday assortment of toys and other goodies. And I’d like pause for a moment to absorb the reality that the Holidays really aren’t all that far away. Sigh. Okay, now that we’ve had our moment of silence, we can enjoy the cuteness that […]

These dolls are made from linen and upcycled fabric scraps, making each one very unique. They’re well-made […]

Somehow summertime always feels timeless to me: there are certain smells and activities that never change. The moment you experience them it’s like remembering all the summers before at the same time. Willowynn’s dolls feel a bit like that endless summer experience. They’re like a timeless moment from my childhood, or my girl’s, or maybe from yours. […]
