Swell Stuff: Bamboletta

Look at these amazing dolls I found via Junior Society! I'm not normally a doll person, but I just love these. Sally (pictured above) is being offered as a giveaway - to enter the drawing just visit this post and leave a comment. I just love her wild red hair and the freckles dusting the tops of her cheeks - just like Jo's summer freckles. And that little half smile is perfect - it could mean so many things.

Sally is fabulous - but possibly even more fabulous are these fairies. The wings are removable, I love the tunics, and the hair is just amazing. I know Jo - with her current fairy obsession - would LOVE these. Sadly for me - happily for her - the maker is already all booked up for custom orders for the holiday season. But do not despair! Folks can find some of her already-made dolls at these places. Maybe next year we'll get a custom fairy. What I'd really love is a pattern to make my own. Wouldn't it be fun to make a whole flock of fairies? Maybe I'll at least make some removable wings for Jo's Kit doll. It's not quite the same but it would still be pretty cool.

So visit the Bamboletta site and blog and enjoy all the handmade goodness.
