Him or Her - A Dragonfly Toys Giveaway

No, I'm not giving Poet away (although she does look rather endearing in her vintage romper and striped bow, doesn't she?!). Dragonfly Toys have offered to give away one of their delightful Steiner dolls. Handmade in Northern India, these dolls are created in a small workshop that employs Tibetan refugees. Each doll is made by hand, from beginning to end, by one woman. Mindfully created with the best quality cotton and pure wool, each doll has a sweet little expression and a vintage-inspired outfit. What I love most about these dolls is that they are all imbued with a sense of innocence - they're oh so perfect for childhood imaginings.

For your chance to win a Steiner doll (valued at $89.50) of your choice (boy or girl, blonde or dark) simply 'like' Dragonfly Toys on facebook, become a follower of Che and Fidel and leave your name with your email in the comments section. I'll draw a winner using the random number generator on Sunday 19th February.

To read a past interview with Tracie and Linda, the lovely women behind Dragonfly Toys, pop back here

If Poet wins she's going to choose little boy blue. 

Update: Comments closed. The Random Number Generator chose #51 - Jill. Congratulations lovely one! x

  3. Just gorgeous, I love her smile.
    The dolls are divine as well. I too would choose little boy blue, for my blue eyed boy.
    These are how a doll should be. Beautiful, soft and full of innocence and simplicity.

  18. Dolls to be cherished indeed. I would love a chance to win such a sweet gift for the bump. Though I'd need a few more weeks to determine the gender of the bump and thus the doll. :)

  22. I didn't think Poet could be any cuter than the last post in the red caboose. But here she is again, stepping it up a notch. Really, Jodi... is there no end to her squishiness?

    Such a lovely giveaway. I love the story behind these dolls. I don't really do facebook these days (but I have actually purchased from dragonfly before and so I definitely support them). I would love a little fair haired boy for Lalie. xx

  26. They are JUST what a little doll should be! My Arki boy turns 3 in a month and is unfortunately only allowed to play with his sister's dolls when she feels like it and only the doll she chooses! He would love a little boy - no preference for hair...he would love it regardless! cute Poet, cute romper...cute cute!

  41. How amazing is this giveaway, we have always admired the Steiner dolls, but my bank account wouldn't allow one just yet! If we were lucky enough to win, I think Coop would love a little blonde boy, just like him.
