Though my days of toting around favorite playthings are behind me, an adorable, hand-crafted doll never fails to bring a smile to my face. And nothing tugs at the heartstrings of children (and adults) like the sweet, braided yarn hair-dos or floppy elephant ears of STC Craft author Hillary Lang’s Wee Wonderfuls dolls.

Now, with her exclusive line at online children's retailer The Land of Nod, even the least crafty among us can own one of her whimsical creations! Available on their website or from their winter catalog (dropping in homes this week), six different designs can be yours for the taking.

Of course, if making one by hand is more your cup of tea, make sure to pick up a copy of Wee Wonderfuls today.
