We took years (really... YEARS!) to begin to offer dolls here at Purciful's. ....Why? Well, first because there are so many dolls out there to choose from! Then there was the fashion doll vs. the baby doll question.... Then there was the problem that soooo many of what are considered "collectable" dolls seem either scary (frozen plastic faces and all that) or just untouchable /un-playable /unloveable..... And many of the others look -- well -- puffy, pasty, or sort of clotted. So we waited until we found a few (just a few so far...) that fit our criteria of being play-able, touch-able, love-able, and FUN to look at and enjoy. There are no leggy fashion models or crying- wetting- eating- burping- pooping babies. No $250.00 accessory dream houses or birth certificates. As a matter of fact, there's just a few of these lines of dolls that are even human! And, while these dolls range from the very inexpensive to the VERY expensive hand-made kind, the thing they all have in common is their sweet and playful personalities -- much like the little girls (and a few big girls) we hope will play with them. Handmade One-Of-A-Kind Dolls from Little Souls! Our latest addition to Purciful's Magical Toys -- DOLLS! And not just any dolls -- in our constant search for the beautiful as well as the fun, we have added the famous LITTLE SOULS dolls to our line. *Please note that these dolls are not meant to be played with by small children -- they are designed and crafted as display pieces, and should be thought of as art -- even in a young girl's room. Each of these dolls has small parts and detailing that could be dangerous to little ones who put things in their mouths -- and should be kept safely at a distance. Here you will find one-of-a-kind hand made collectable dolls (about 24" tall each) -- each dressed in beautiful if somewhat mismatched clothes, hand crafted bags, accessories, painted shoes, and details galore. Each doll is unique and comes with her own papers of authenticity -- and more personality than you've ever seen in a doll.

For more information of the phenomenon of the lovey and how to choose possible candidates (babies tend to decide for themselves about these things,) see our article on loveys in this section, or hop to the library or book store and checkout the many wonderful books on child care by Dr. T. Berry Brazelton. A list of Brazelton's wonderful books can be found in our article on the lovey -->>>>>>> Just a Note about Loveys -- for the new one in your life ON SALE!
