Well, hello! Nice to meet you.

Let us introduce ourselves! Lesley holds down the Tansy Dolls fort now-a-days with her woodwork and illustration - but here is the story of how it all began: 💕

We're friends. We're mamas. We're artists and craftsters. We're Lesley, Cady, and Robin!

We met each other when our younguns were about a year old. We bonded over motherhood and coffee, playdates and artwork. We starting helping each other find some time when our little ones need so much of us. We began building, building, building a strong mama-driven community.

Soon we became VERY excited about combining our talents to work together to produce handcrafted lovelies for children to snuggle with and adore. We noticed a huge lack of diversity in children’s toys and aimed to change that.

And that SPARK of excitement, of creativity, of holding onto the joy of building beauty with our hands & minds is what brings us (and you!) here today.

While Cady and Robin are currently working as inspiring and amazing full time teachers, they pop in every now and then to share their gorgeous talent.
