home gifts

Guatemala's Elias Garcia knows there is nothing better than a colorful accent for adding a lovely aura to your home decor. Using little cotton worry dolls in traditional garments, the artisan handcrafts a heart-shaped wreath that will get more than one smile from friends and family while attracting positive energies.

Woven by hand on the traditional telar de pie, or floor loom, colorful cotton patterns over carton decorate the heart-shaped frame of this wall mirror from Guatemala. Elias Garcia creates this mirror, decorated with five cute quitapenas, or worry dolls, that are crafted by hand. A loop on the back of the mirror allows for easy hanging.

These adorable dolls are here to bring some love into your home. Artisan Elias Garcia arranges them in a heart-shaped frame covered with colorful hand-loomed fabric and finished with a wooden sign reading "Love". Each doll is handmade by Elias's sister, Aura, and she dresses each one in a unique handwoven dress. Quitapenas or "worry dolls" represent Ixmucane, a princess who was gifted with infinite wisdom. Children are instructed to confide all of their worries to their quitapenas and then place them underneath their pillow at night. The dolls will impart their wisdom to them while they sleep and in the morning they'll wake up knowing what to do.
