They are finally ready. Pompoms have been trimmed and fluffed. Boots have been polished. Clothes have been pressed, and embroidery details have been added. Hair has been washed and combed. Milk moustaches have been wiped off their faces and sticky hands (from eating candy) have also been cleaned. They are well fed, they are happy, and they are waiting to find a new home to bring cheer, imaginative play and hopefully some laughter.

Like all the Story Time sets, the dolls are 9.5" tall. The tiny hands and the tiny seams and the tiny hems and the tiny crochet stitches...I always forget how much more work it is to work on these little ones, but I do enjoy them. I think they are the perfect size to embody fairy tales. Not too big, to resemble real children, not too small to resemble knit-knacks...just the right size in my opinion. They are dressed in linen and wool, and they come in their special pocket.
