Mommy’s Craft Basket
Tired of not being able to find dolls for her daughter that actually felt like they could be loved, Michelle Williams was thrilled to discover the patterns of Weir Dolls and Crafts.
That first doll was the start of something, as Michelle discovered that each Waldorf-inspired doll offered her an opportunity to see a child smile. A small craft fair at her daughter’s Waldorf school led to an Etsy shop, and eventually to the site you see here.
Discovering other “old fashioned” arts, Michelle has added peg people, baby booties, and handmade soaps to her basket.
