Something that Rhymes with Monday: Dolls

Since I finally got around to making the dolls I have been planning, I decided to make today's theme....DOLLS.

I was not a doll girl growing up. My grandmother collected dolls, and I enjoyed helping her search through little antique shops to find some rare toy, or an original outfit. We would take our treasures home and wash and dress them. I loved looking at them, but rarely really played with them. However, the few I did play with were usually the floppy cloth kind. Those are the kind I like for my girls.

Lena and Pilar are TOTAL doll girls. They have approximately 3 million stuffed animals and dolls and they play with every single one. (in fact they are having a tea party as I write) I'd love to buy them dolls, but I'm tired of seeing commercials for dolls that look like tiny prostitutes, so here are a few alternatives I have found and coveted on behalf of my girls....


Here is a custom made doll by Bumblebird. I love the sweet little face and cute hair. The dolls measure approximately 20" tall (can be taller depending on hairstyle). They look so soft and huggable! She also makes a boy doll, who is equally huggable.



Arrrrr! Here is little sister Sprinkles Pirate girl. She is made from 100% wool felt and stands about 13" high. Her patch is removable and she comes with a little parrot softie. Like Bumblebird's creations, I love the sweet faces of these lilsprinkles dolls. There are also big sister sprinkles, which stand 17-18" tall. Lilsprinkles offers custom big and little sister dolls.



How can I resist a Frida Kahlo doll? I can't! She comes complete with hairbraid and unibrow and stands about 10" tall. Oh the doll lust! You can Find little Frida at GirlCalledRic, where there are also, Star Trek, Star Wars, and all around cool character dolls.



These sweet little dolls are custom made just for you and sell fast. They are just over 7" tall, perfect size for little ones to hug to sleep. so chubby! Find them at dmollison.
Last, but not least are Kooky Dolls. This here is super Kooky! She is made from 100% eco-spun felt and stands 13" tall. She is super cute!
Okay. That's my line up. Happy shopping!
