le train fantome

Le Train Fantome’s dolls feature vintage fabrics and a dash of European style; in short, they’re absolutely lovable! Each is a mixture of cotton, linen and wool felt, and all seem to emanate a simple and charming aura. The dolls come in bunny, human and bird varieties and are made by Fanja, who is of [...]

SCC’s tastes are [...]

My daily cute finds, served up fresh from me to you! Old World Romance’s “Treasured Dragonfly” is indeed a treasure; this ornate necklace is made from bronze and stuffed with lustrous orange topaz.
