Waldorf & Euro Inspired Natural Dolls - Open Ended Play With Love, Hannah dolls are hand crafted from soft, natural cottons (organic when I get can get it!) and stuffed with clean, fresh wool. They are inspired by sweet, simple, European Waldorf dolls. For my handspun yarns, most of the fiber you see is sourced locally and direct from the farm, freshly shorn from happy sheep and angora goats or freshly harvested from Texas organic cotton fields. I use earth friendly methods to clean it thoroughly, then process it into unique, one-of-a-kind yarns for your special projects. I try to source as much local and organic products as possible, for both my yarns & dolls. The name, With Love, Hannah, holds much significance to me. It is inspired by my sweet & lovely grandmother, whom I called Nana. She is no longer with us and I miss her very, very much. Hannah was not her given name, but a pet name, a term of endearment, instead of honey or sweetheart, my grandfather called her throughout their life together. I'm not sure how "Hannah" came to be, however they knew one another their entire lives. They shared their first kiss directly after the minister pronounced them man and wife. Although I never knew my grandfather, my Nana told me all the important things, such as: He had a head full of red hair, of the dark auburn variety, coupled with a temper just as fiery. He was a loving & gentle man with a passion for registered Quarter Horse and could tell you the lineage of just about any quarter horse he looked at. Before they were married, he left Texas for a while to check out Hollywood. He was a trick rider and would do amazing acrobatics on the backs of galloping horses. She told me these things and I hung on every word.... We were very close. My Nana was one of the first people in my life to share their love and skill of fiber work with me. It began with my appearance as her youngest grandchild. She made most of my wardrobe as a young child and beautiful clothing it was. Much of that love she instilled in my mother as well...So, Nana & my mother are definitely a large part of my love for art..for beautiful things...and for all things fiber... There is much more of this story I want to share...as it is foundational to to what "With Love, Hannah" truly means...that will come later. :-) And so, in remembrance of my loving grandmother who loved to create beautiful things for her children and grandchildren, I use the name Hannah. I want to create beautiful things to inspire you, just as my Nana inspired me. All the love and care I put into my work is for you and has been passed down to me...so it is With Love, Hannah, made esp. for you! ♥ Faydra
