Eggs and Their Emotions..

Easter

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter with their families and friends!

Ours was very nice and because it was so late this year we had even less snow than usual!

This one always has to make silly faces for photos!

Sad Pixie..

Don't let the smile fool you.

A few years ago I made two Christmas Pixies for the boys using this wonderful tutorial. Even though they were meant more to be Christmas decorations, I could never put them away in the totes, so on the shelf in the boys room they sat offering up free smiles for everyone who would take a moment to look at them.

Well, this morning when I went into the boys room I found a horrific sight!

Yep, Pixie mutilation...and no body's talking! (personally, I think it was the teddy bears)

I'll get him fixed up and then I think they will both be sitting on my shelf now, obviously some one's out to get 'em!

And last but not least..Meet Marian

*Dark Fuchsia Shantung Silk*

This handcrafted Darby Doll has been made to last using safe all natural materials. Every stitch has been carefully placed, checked over, and strength tested to make sure a high level of quality is achieved for your little one. This doll’s body is made from 100% Shantung Silk and her skin is a cotton tricot fabric from Holland.

The doll’s hair has been made from a brushed wool mohair yarn and is adorned with a sewn on wool felt flower that has a glass bead center. Around her neck is a hand dyed crinkled ribbon bow.

The facial details have all been hand embroidered using cotton floss.

This doll has been stuffed with clean, fluffy wool that warms to the touch. A bit of quartz sand has been added to the feet and hands to allow the doll to be able to stand on its own with a little balancing practice.


Cleaning Instructions:
Spot cleaning only for this little doll. Eventually you will need to re-apply the dolls cheeks using blush or a red beeswax crayon on a small piece of soft cotton cloth*. Gently dab the cheeks with color loaded cloth until you have the desired look.

*Every doll comes with a little touch-up cloth to re-apply those rosy cheeks if they get loved off a little.


Darby Dolls are approximately 7” tall.

Materials: Cotton & Sheep’s Wool, Sand

Recommended for ages 6+

Waldorf / Steiner inspired

Please no paypal echecks or angeling. Free shipping on all Alaskan orders!
