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!

Moondoggie is the GRAND PRIZE for the Once Upon A Doll 1000 Likes Contest and FREE to the lucky winner of this Giveaway—all you need to do is pay shipping ($25.00 for US shipping, exact shipping for International)

Meet Moondoggie, a happy little surfer dude as a Waldorf-esque doll. He is 13 inches tall, and his hair is made of 5 different handspun wool art yarns by various wool artists to remind us of the ocean waves he loves so much.  Moondoggie’s surfboard was made by my son (for display or delicate play only) of wood, and his outfit was handmade for him by Blissality. His two tone sandals were made by me of 100% wool felt and stiffener. Moondoggie is NOT intended for small children or children who still put things in their mouths (especially the surfboard).

Second place is a green dragon kimono robe and clay play sushi for a doll:

Third place is a golden flower kimono robe and clay play sushi for a doll:


Second and Third Prize are FREE, winner only pays $5.00 shipping.
