Spring is here and Skye and Poppy are out to play. These two sisters are out exploring in their very own backyard. When one is so tiny the world is big and the discoveries are endless. There are hidden worlds of life all around them...
....nests that lay empty, waiting to be filled
....nests that lay filled, babies waiting to hatch
Flowers are in bloom and Skye and Poppy love to pick them and climb them.
It is a delight to hear tiny wee voices laughing and giggling amongst the bushes and little pitter patter feet rustling the leaves and plants. Spring is here indeed.
Two Spring Sisters, Poppy and Skye, best of friends...out to play.
Meet Poppy, named after the California state flower, the California poppy (Eschscholzia Californica). Poppy is a spring child, happy go-lucky, innocent and free. She loves her sister Skye.
Here's Skye. Skye is named for the beautiful blue heavens granted to us in the Spring when the Winter greys have gone and the cold is overshadowed by fresh scents and new blooms. Skye is a sweet delight...ever present, ever curious, ever happy....much like her sister, Poppy. Skye, too, loves her sister.
Poppy is a Wee-Bee Mini Elfcup doll. She stands less than 6" (15 cm) tall. She is made with all natural materials. Her doll skin is made with premium quality cotton interlock imported from Europe. She is firmly stuffed with bio-wool made in Oregon. Her seams are sewn twice for reinforcement. Her locks are made of mohair yarn tied into two sweet braided pigtails. She has embroidered facial features. Her facial structure is sculpted giving her a sweet little face with an itty-bitty chin, round chubby cheeks and deeper set eyes. Her cheeks, nose and various body parts are blushed with red beeswax. She is a sitting doll with sewn joints that are made flexible for easy movement and changing of clothes. But, with some posing, she is also able to stand. She also has a belly button and a bum.
Poppy comes wearing a sweet floral Easter dress made of cotton and a mohair-silk blended yarn. Her bunny cap is made from pre-washed, clean, repurposed 100% cashmere. Her shoes are hand knit with a 100% alpaca yarn.
