We LOVE weddings!!


It has been the year of the fairytale wedding. Dresses have been classic and beautiful. Brides have been stunning. We love weddings!!

Our range of dolls have been compared to little flowergirls. They make the perfect gift for christenings or for a little (hopefully well behaved!) flowergirl.

Beautiful rosy cheeks, happy smiles, s
atin shoes, soft pink details and all the pretty details that make a dress perfect. These dolls are timeless and will be a cherished part of a little girls childhood.

I'll have three of those!

I once lost my engagement ring. My husband had given it to me only three weeks before hand and I took it off whilst we were eating fish and chips in the park. Silly decision because we left without it. Panic ensued once I realised and I don't know how but it was lying on the grass when we returned. I was being looked after!

I think of this whenever we get multiple orders of products. Often we sell 2 or sometimes 3 of our dolls, squeakers or monkeys. Just in case. The customers are experienced parents or grandparents who know what a disaster it can be when a toy needs a wash or when the loved toy is left at a friends, on a bench or in dad's car. Our toys are beautiful and often have limited quantities manufactured so if you have a special toy that goes everywhere, buy 2 and pop one away. You might be glad you did!

I am glad that we found the ring. Didn't like my chances of having it replaced!
