Eggs and Their Emotions..

...a series by E. Morgan
(this kid cracks me up!)







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!

*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!

Change of Plans!

For the last four DarbyDolls I will be posting them here on the blog for a comment style sale. Hopefully this will be easier for everyone.

I will post all four dolls by 9am Alaska time (four hours behind EST) and the comment section will be open for two hours, closing at 11am Alaska time. I will then run the random number generator to chose a winner and then I will send out the invoices via Paypal where everyone will have 30 minutes to pay for their DarbyDoll. This will give me plenty of time to get them to the post office so the dolls will be available for a few Easter baskets!

Silk DarbyDolls are $38.00
Shipping is $6.00 in the US and $13.95 Everywhere else. 

Etsy Problems-Comment here if you would like to purchase "Winnie"

Leave a comment (make sure I have a way to get a hold of you) below and I will chose a winner using a random number generator today at 2:15pm Alaska Time. I will then send the person an invoice and payment must be made within one hour.
Sorry about all this, gotta love technology!
