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.

Time for a Giveaway!


GRAND PRIZE: 
Meet Lux, a 13 inch Waldorf-esque doll who loves the spa, handmade especially for this contest by Once Upon A Doll. Winner only pays $1.00 (per Facebook rules) plus shipping: $15.00 in the US; $22.00 to Canada; $35.00 elsewhere. (Retail price for this prize is $175.00 plus shipping.)
Lux comes with a fabric bathtub, ducky, baby shampoo bottle, and candle. (Please note that Lux and her little candle friend are handmade, but I purchased the bathtub, duck and baby shampoo set from the Baby Stella line...one of the things I wouldn't do for a doll I made to sell, but am happy to include as a fun extra in a GIVEAWAY!)

Lux's hair is entirely made of LUXURIOUS hand spun art yarn by Yarn Rescue.
 Lux both sits and stands, and she comes with a pair of white bloomers as well as a gorgeous candle and spa themed upcycled outfit, handmade by Nanerjoy just for her!



 2ND PRIZE: A plethora of handmade clay treats for your dolls to “eat”—for picnics, tea parties, and other adventures. Winner only pays $1.00 (per Facebook rules) plus shipping: $4.00 in the US; $8.00 to Canada; $13.00 elsewhere. (Retail price for this prize is $75.00 plus shipping.)
