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 Charlie...a little boy who LOVES to fish!

Charlie is a happy little guy...
13 inches from head to toe (although with his floppy hand spun wool yarn hair he's closer to 15 inches), Charlie loves the outdoors. He hikes, camps, and climbs rocks like a mountain goat...but his favorite adventure of all is fishing.
His luscious hair is made of a mix of hand spun art yarns in different hues of walnut, chesnut, and amber brown, with bright green wool dread high lights I dyed myself...
Charlie wears blue jeans, a brown shirt decorated with a fish, brown suede zip up boots, and comes with two flannel shirts...all made especially for him by Blissality.
He comes with complete fishing gear: wooden fishing pole, three fish, net, pail, and a fisherman's basket (all by Queen's Treasures)...
Charlie sits and stands beautifully...he even stands unassisted when wearing his brown fisherman's boots!
Charlie is a RTG (ready to go) doll who will be uploaded in my Etsy shop tomorrow (Sunday 5/18) at 3 pm PDT. Here's the link:

Thanks so much for meeting Charlie,
