I LOVE these little worry dolls! They are great as a decoration on a gift or just to give a friend who is going through a hard time. My granddaughters sleep with one under their pillows, to take their worries away.

These just arrived today. They are so cute I have a smile on my face already and we havent even begun to solve my worries. I have been a Novica customer for many years and Ive never been disappointed. All the artisans are clever, talented, and it is evident they enjoy making art. Keep up the good work. The world needs more art and the joy it brings.
