All the way from Poland ....

There is no way to explain the excitement when the postman comes knocking with a package that you know is definitely for you. I have to confess something about myself ........ I love handmade dolls.

As much as I would like to create and make my own, there is something special and inspiring about handmade dolls made by other talented people around the world. I have two such dolls so far in my collection that are so different and unique and I'm thrilled to show them to you.

1. Roving Ovine Doll made by Laura Hunter

I have been fascinated by these sweet dolls for such a long time now and they are simply gorgeous in real life. Have a look at my Roving Ovine Pinterest Board  and the many different versions of this doll. I couldn't resist, I had to have one and she is so cute.

2. Doll - Made by Agah

Now this unique doll I received a few days ago all the way from Poland. Agah's dolls are inspired by Tilda dolls and I love the way she dresses them. They are dressed so elegantly and she even came with a little leather black bag, so impressive. I really adore her.

Both these dolls are beautifully well crafted and I'm so happy to have them sitting on my shelf. Much to the dismay of my little daughter who I know would love to take them down and have a little play with them. But, they're mummy's dolls and I'm not ashamed to say it :)

So tell me, is there anything special that you love to collect?
