First looks-These remind me of when I was a little girl, my mom Cinders(you know the loud mouthed lady that runs this blog) made Waldorf style dolls. I was in love as soon as I tore open the package.
Construction- Very well made with lots of hand stitching and attention to detail. the stuffing is sturdy wool so they are heavier and more sturdy than you would imagine!
Wearability- Luna eats her little knots and tosses her across the room all day long and they still look brand new.
You can find her on ETSY http://www.etsy.com/shop/sunflowerradiantlove
and thank goodness for me she also will sell directly from her Facebook http://www.facebook.com/sunflowerradiantlove

Aw, Luna is a "doll". I don't have any little babies to buy for, but I will keep these in mind! I'll never forget my favorite doll, a ragdoll, handmade by an aunt. It sits on Annie's shelf today!

My latest handmade purchase were Rachel Rene, but right now I think she only sells on Etsy, even though she had a website (she's carrying the Spa Therapy line of facial and other goodies) and a top from Rad Rocket, who also is on Etsy only (I think).
I love her dolls! I am a fan on FB!

Jane... these dolls are not just for babies. Or I am a baby. I personally own 8 of Saskia's dolls. Not to mention that my kids (6 of those) each have at least 2 or 3! You should get one just for you!!
Hum... shops?
Pixiekids Toys on FB (she has an etsy shop too. But you can contact her though her FB page.
Rainwater Botanical I buy sunscreen from them! my kids all have light complexions and burn! I don't know if you can buy from their FB page. They do have an etsy shop.
Pickin' Daisies This is a friend that is just starting her shop up. She is going to sell from FB for awhile. She will have some fun things when she gets up and going.
I guess I will stop there for right now. :)
