Schlemiel! Schlemazel!
The picture that comes to mind when I hear "doll" and "completely recycled materials" together in one sentence has never quite looked like the spectacular looking Binky Buddies recycled dolls from Hasenpfeffer Incorporated. Using a variety of salvaged materials like recycled wool, cotton, and buttons, plus a hypoallergenic fill, Daniela Shelton artfully turns discarded old scraps into something adorably new.

They're the perfect eco-conscious companion for your little one and the best use of old wool jackets and cotton shirts I've seen in a really long time. Okay, try ever. -Kristen

Check out the slew of adorable baby dolls and other handmade wool and cotton goodies at Hasenpfeffer Incorporated.
