Cotton worry dolls, 'Joined in Love' (set of 6)
By Sandra
Adorable Worry Dolls
The Joined in Love worry dolls are colorful and well made. They are the best Worry Dolls I have ever seen. I like their larger size because you can actually see the faces. The Lopez Garcia Family has taken great care to make these. Even the back side of them is finished extremely well. I have already ordered the coin purse with a doll on it and will definitely be purchasing even more of their products.
Teak shadow puppet, 'Yudistira'
By Anne
Beautiful
I got this for my husband who studies Indonesian history. When we lived in Indonesia we always wanted one, but at the time could not afford one. It is so wonderful that now such products with amazing craftsmanship are available to those abroad. One of the sticks did break, but that was probably due to the fact our 5 year old couldnt stop playing with it. It is magical.

Cherished heirloom
The detail is perfection. This puppet can be moved into different positions and is painted excellent. Love all the details and the craftsmanship that went into this puppet. Love of my favorite purchases from Novica.
