My friend Teri Elfrink (wife of the infamous Web Savant)has once again graciously written a guest post for Ecochildsplay. Teri writes: Doll Kit from Magic Cabin I've made one of these dolls for each of my children and I love them! I looked everywhere for Waldorf-style dolls but couldn't find one in my price range. This kit is very inexpensive and the doll turned out great! It feels like so much more than a toy when it's made by hand. Plus you can add your own special touch to each one.

A Crown Fit for a Natural Princess!
As you can tell from our previous posts, we love Magic Cabin! Their silk crowns are amongst my favorite Magic Cabin products. These crowns are beautiful and fit for the natural princess or prince. Made of raw silk and adorned with jewels or roses, the only drawback to Magic Cabin's silk crowns are that they are a little too small for me!
