Quitapenas Doll and Wood Bead Mobile in Multiple colours, "Tell Us Your Troubles"
In Guatemala, tiny dolls called quitapenas are given to children who are nervous or on edge, with the idea to have someone to tell their troubles to. This charming mobile includes a series of these small dolls in handwoven textiles, which also covers the rhomboid that the suspends the dolls and wood beads. The mobile itself is made by Elias Garcia, but it is his sister's family that makes the dolls.

"A heart of worry dolls!"
I have been a Hugh fan of worry dolls since childhood. This wreath is a great way to display and enjoy them! People ask about it often and many end up buying themselves - or to give as gifts.
