Ellie Bee’s Garden
The garden gate creaked open in welcome as Ellie Bee padded onto the soft dirt. She gathered raspberries from the bushes on her right as well blueberries and blackberries from across the garden. Flowers joined the berries in her basket as she wiped her brow under the warm sun. When Ellie Bee entered her cottage, the smell of drying lavender and honey brushed her whiskers.

Our dolls are designed for imaginative, educational play and storytelling – created to spark childhood memories while offering a unique, heirloom-quality keepsake that adults can treasure too. This idea began more than ten years ago, when my daughters asked me to create fabric dolls similar to the historic Pioneer dolls (often called “rag dolls”) that we saw during our museum visits in the Midwest.
