GIMME THE ALICE DOLL, AND NOBODY GETS HURT BY THE JUB-JUB BIRD. Ahem. So I really like this Alice folk doll set which is one of the many storytime character folk dolls by Etsy's Cart Before the Horse, a mom-and-dad business out of Portland, Oregon. She's entirely hand-made of quilter's muslin that has been painted, sanded, and then painted again for a unique patina that gives the look and feel of old leather.
(Ed: Sadly it looks like the Alice shown is now sold, but search the shop for "Alice" for other beautiful options.)
The designs are all really made for sitting on a shelf since they're actual art--not meant to be played with by little (or big) girls. The pieces are all signed, numbered, and created in limited edition runs of only 25 pieces, each beautifully hand-painted and hand-made, and the prices reflect that.
But honestly, I've been collecting Alice trinkets for twenty years and have never seen something this nice. Except my Cheshire Cat tattoo, and you can't buy that, no matter how mad you are. ~Delilah
