This week's giveaway is a beautiful, carefully handmade, one of a kind, 15" Waldorf style doll from Moonchild Studio. This particular doll (pictured on the left) was specially made for our readers at Smaller* and that's not all.... Berrie was kind enough to offer the readers a 20% discount on a Custom Order Doll for a January, February or March delivery. Just go to her Etsy site or blog and use SMALLMAG as the code when you order.
A Moonchild doll is an all-natural doll that is made with natural fibers. This doll is made with European cotton interlock fabric that complies with Oeko-tex standard 100, wool stuffing, and mohair hair. Her clothes are hand made with European corduroy and knit fabrics and her hat and shoes are made with 100% wool felt. She comes with a care sheet and a re-blushing cloth. Waldorf style dolls typically have a neutral expression so the child can add the feelings that the doll is needing to fulfill. As a child holds and plays with a Moonchild doll, the wool stuffing holds the child's body heat. Besides being great for educational and creative play, these toys are safe for your child and good for the environment. This gorgeous doll will be a wonderful addition to your child's life that can be passed down through the generations.All you have to do is leave a comment telling us what you think is so special about this doll.
One lucky reader will be picked at random and notified by email. (Please leave your email address when you post a comment!). The winner will also be posted in the blog the following Monday. Our winners from last week (picked by random.org) were comments no.1, 3, 5, 6, and 12- congratulations!! Please contact us with your email address.
What a gem! We would love for her to come and live with us!!

I love Moonchild's things. I have been eyeing her little purse dolls for over a year. I love the energy that comes from handmade things. You can feel the love that went into making everything. You just can't get that with mass marketed items.
Posted by: Brie | 08/30/2010 at 09:03 AM
She is the perfect doll from her pretty hair that you can style to her adorable shoes, both of my daughter's would love to have her.

I think that there are so many things that make her special, just like any Waldorf doll. My favorite though are her awesome shoes and fun spunky little outfit. And as the mama to 2 beautiful little curly haired girls I always love seeing other curly haired cuties.
