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.

Little Lavender


"As Rosemary is to the Spirit, so Lavender is to the Soul".
--Anonymous
Meet Lavender, a little doll who loves quiet early mornings. Lavender's long, lush hair is a combination of textured wool hand spun art yarns in all the hues of lavender, purple and blue, and may be styled a variety of ways for creative play. She wears white bloomers, a flowered dress, and a hand made lavender bolero for chilly morning walks. (Dress and bloomers made especially for her by Blissality.) 
Her purple "boots" are made of 100% wool felt.
 Lavender's simple expression allows your child to imagine whatever emotion he or she wishes. The wool stuffing warms to your child’s body temperature, making it feel like a real companion to befriend. Her stylish outfit of dress, scarf, and hand knit purple undies is removable. 
Most YOSD clothes or 1/6 doll clothes fit her as well. 
To bring Lavender home, simply go to my ETSY SHOP--she's listed for sale right now.

 Warmly,
Amy
Once Upon A Doll
