Dragonfly's Hollow Artist Feature

Artist Feature, Nancy McLaughlin from Dragonfly's Hollow.

Those of you who have been following my blog for a while, know how much i love dolls. i have been making rag dolls for over 10 years, and in the last couple years have fallen in love with Waldorf style dolls. i have only attempted two ever, one for my daughter Sage and one for a friend. Although they came out okay, i am constantly browsing Etsy and drooling over all of the beautiful Waldorf dolls. One of my favorite shops to drool over is Dragonfly's Hollow.

Nancy recently held a doll Giveaway on her blog, and out of almost 800 entries i was the lucky winner! Wow, right?!? i still can not believe it!!

This is the beautiful doll that i won. Her name is Summer and the pictures do not do her justice. i am saving her for Sage's B-day (Summer solstice), so i can't post any picture of her and her new doll yet. ..but i will!

Nancy, the artist behind these fabulous dolls is a homeschooling mom of 6, ranging in ages from 14 to 5. Nancy believe's that children's toys should be durable, made from the best, natural materials and priced reasonably. Each is made with the fullest intention that they will be played with and loved. Inspired by the story of the Velveteen Rabbit, she believe that the most gorgeous Waldorf doll ever is the one that is stained and worn because that doll is a lifelong best friend and companion :o)



"My children are my muses. They are an abundant source of enjoyment and creativity for me. Everything I make I make with the mind that I am making it for my own children."

These dolls are of the highest quality. Made with interlock knit fabric, stuffed firmly with clean, carded wool and hair made with a variety of yarns. Each one is so unique, and they each seem to possess their own personalities. The features are hand embroidered with cotton floss.

Dragonfly's Hollow dolls are heirloom quality yet sturdy and soft enough for everyday play.

Besides the wonderful dolls, Dragonfly's Hollow also sells these incredible outfits to transform your doll into a fairy or mermaid.

You can shop for Dragonfly's Hollow Dolls on Etsy. New dolls are listed in the Etsy shop every Friday evening at 8:00 pm central. These dolls are available on a first come first served basis. (They go quick!!)
