Rosy cheeks and everything

Rosy cheeks and everything
I wrestle with the idea of what to get my two-month old daughter for Christmas, because well, she's two-months and what the heck does she care about what's sitting under the tree for her, right? But then I have to wonder if it'll come back to bite me in the butt down the road.

So when I saw the completely handmade dolls from Poppy Seed Tree, I figured I couldn't go wrong. Artist Meredith Franz uses a variety of fabrics (some recycled, some not) to create adorable one-of-a-kind dolls that come with a name card, back story, and the rosiest cheeks I've ever seen.

For my wee babe, I'm eying the rattling dolls (pictured), but if you've got older ones, make sure to peruse her selection of cuties that are perfect for boys and girls, all of which I bet you'll love as much as your little ones do. -Kristen
