Handmade cloth dolls
Hello! Welcome to my little handmade doll shop!
The name of my shop - In Love With Trees - represents my love for the beauty of nature and above all - trees.
I live and create in Isleworth - a town within the London Borough of Hounslow in West London. It's a beautiful and inspiring place.
The idea of sewing dolls came to me in a small toy shop in Antibes - a town in France near Nice - we were on holiday there with my husband. The shop seemed like an old time toy shop - every piece in there looked unique and special. There were no loads of plastic toys made in China and without a real personality. You could touch wood and textile there - natural and meaningful materials. There I found some cloth dolls and fell in love with them immediately. I couldn't buy them because we entered the shop to buy a present for our 1 year old son and dolls weren't on the list. But I couldn't forget the beauty of unique handmade cloth dolls. When we came back home I started my journey of sewing dolls and so far it's been an incredible and amazing experience.
I love to experiment and always look for new ways and ideas to realize. My creations change a lot but most of all I love sewing one of a kind dolls. My dolls are made to be friends with grown ups and children - everyone who cherishes the amazing world of imagination. Every doll is made with love and attention to details and has its own character.
I hope you will find something to love in my little shop.
