One Jar of Organic Coconut Butter Styling Pomade {by Darcy's Botanicals}

"If you have been looking for a light styling aid to help you provide you with sheen and to condition your luscious curls, then look no further. Our Organic Coconut Butter Styling Pomade will provide you with the much needed nourishment your curls require along with lovely sheen, softness and conditioning. This styling pomade is not a heavy, waxy pomade but more of a light coconut hairdressing with a touch of beeswax.

Beautiful Handmade Doll {by Daisy Girl Dolls}

Beautiful Handmade Doll {by Daisy Girl Dolls}

"This adorable 17 inch (43cm) handmade doll, dressed in her bright and cheery floral dress is sure to be a little girl’s new best friend! Her cheerful face is my own one of a kind design, which makes her truly unique! She is made from a cotton/knit material for easy care and softness. I have added a wafer thin lining to help keep her shape and to prevent stuffing from coming through. She is machine sewn together using a thick, quilting weight thread and shorter stitch length for strength & durability. Her stuffing opening is hand stitched closed using the same quilting weight thread, doubled over and knotted with a professional seamstress technique. Her stuffing is 100% hypo-allergenic. Her hair is soft 100% cotton yarn, also triple stitched by machine to form her part. It is attached using 3 strands of thick hand embroidery thread down her part and attached to the sides of her face. Her hair flowers are also hand sewn on. Her dress is made from 100% cotton. The seams are all triple stitched for durability and lots of playtime!"
