Welcome

Welcome! Sit down, peruse these pages, and indulge in the stories my dolls arouse within your imagination...

Once Upon A Doll began with my own love of dolls, especially hand made. My kids and I collect, play with, and love our dolls, and eventually I began to make dolls of my own. Although my dolls are based upon the principles of Waldorf doll making--natural and sustainably harvested materials (like wool stuffing and cotton interlock), hand spun and dyed wool yarns for hair, hand made doll clothes, 100% wool felt for shoes--my dolls cannot be called strictly Waldorf (more Waldorf-esque), as they have definite personalities, larger & more expressive eyes, and playful mouths. Once Upon A Doll features enchanted dolls made in the Waldorf tradition with a storybook theme for that special child in your life or the discriminating collector of handmade dolls.

Meet Miss Pepper Mint and her little holiday minion

Just in time for Christmas shopping, please meet Miss Pepper Mint!


Pepper Mint loves Christmas, and she has the hardest time WAITING for all the festivities! Perhaps that is why she loves her little needle felted, candy striped holiday minion named "Ooga Booga" so very much: he loves to get into trouble! Ooga Booga is like a big soft marshmallow, and therefore a bit more delicate than some fellows--probably better for children five and over who are more gentle with their toys.

13 inches from the top of her head to the tip of her toes, she wears adorable handmade pajamas featuring red and green ooga booga monsters made especially for her by Mollys Playground. Her lush, long hair is hand spun merino wool yarn in candy cane, Christmas green and ivory boucle for that sassy curl! 
 Pepper Mint is a sassy little gal cannot WAIT to meet the special child who will love her on Christmas morning...what adventures they will have together!

Hope your holiday preparations are full of joy and unexpected blessings!
