“Cheerful Little Angels”

These angels are really pretty, colorful and original. They will bring a smile to whoever receive them as a gift. I own a set and have given them as a gift too. They look great on a smaller tree. You could get more for a bigger one. They would look nice on a fireplace mantle too. Enjoy Christmas with these six new friends!

“Make 100 people happy with these precious handmade worry dolls”

I love giving gifts. Mostly to children I cross paths with in my travels. Like the child who is fussy or crying or having a tantrum in the airport, on a plane, in a supermarket. I always keep mini pullback cars or mini bubbles in my purse and coat pockets so they re easily accessible for me to grab on the spot. When I came across these worry dolls, 100 of them, I felt like I hit the jackpot. I have a few in every pocket and purse and everyone I give one to is instantly happy!!! I m talking children AND adults!! It puts a smile on even the crankiest child s (or adult s for that matter!) face. These are unique and special and beautifully and lovingly made. What a cool way to turn frowns upside down! Adults in particular love the folklore of telling the sweet little doll your worries and then putting her under your pillow and when you wake up the next morning you just may have answers. For me, that is a big bonus, because just that little doll, all by herself, is full of joy and love.
