Lilac is a handmade, heirloom toy that is carefully stitched and embroidered to last for generations. Her ears are lined with Liberty of London cotton lawn fabric and stamped with an original Morris Arts and Crafts tag. Lilac has a vintage leather collar with rivets that make her oh so adorable! She is stuffed with eco-poly fiber and fabric scraps, and measures about 7" tall and 7' long. Lilac can stand, sit, and lay down on her own, and can do so much more because of her fully jointed body. Her favorite time of the year is Spring, and she enjoys digging in the mud. After being out all day, you may want to have her take a bath. When she does, remember that she loves the scent of lavender. Lilac comes in different sizes, colors and materials. Let me know what you prefer and I can make it for you. Patterns aren't used, which makes each doll a little different from the others. Kindly allow up to 2 weeks to make and ship "Lilac" out.

I am an industrial designer with a home workshop near Philadelphia, PA. I am a mother of two little boys, and a maker of things whenever I have a free hand.
I work with natural materials to create functional and meaningful pieces that will last a lifetime or longer. I allow the natural materials to "be themselves," or I let their natural characteristics become the character of the finished piece.
My pieces are sold in local boutiques and museum shops, as well as online.
