Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Dolls, 2014

It's finally that time of year again! Time for a brand new set of peluches para Dia de los Muertos!

Each one is unique, and once it's sold, it won't be seen again.*

 

A few of the dolls currently available are:

Azteca

Orchid

 

Marigold

To see them all, click over to The Toy Cove on Etsy!

 
* You can always request custom colors on a Sugar Skull Doll, and I'll be glad to re-make one that has sold, by request. But it will take some time (from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on how many orders I have), to complete it.

Mt. Holly Arts Festival

The Toy Cove is back from an amazing artisan festival in Mount Holly, NC. This was the first year I'd been there, and I wasn't sure what to expect.

Setting up shop in the morning.

Everything was well-organized, and I was able to set up pretty quickly. Luckily, the weather was completely perfect; 75 degrees and sunny all day.

The Black Cats & Kittens were excited and curious:

The Long-Leggity Frogs were ready to leap for joy:

But perhaps most excited were the Baby Leopard Rays, who were making their world debut that day:

"Adopt me!"

 The Sugar Skulls received quite a lot of attention:

And even Angry Ankylosaurus seemed to have a good time. In his own way.

Though, as happy as I am to see them adopted, it's a little hard to see them go.

Adios, mi amigito.

All in all, it was a wonderful experience. The Mt. Holly city employees and festival volunteers were extraordinarily helpful, and the festival was very well attended. I hope I can go back again next year with lots of new little plushies.

Thanks from The Toy Cove!

Dia de los Muertos Sugar Skull Dolls!

Just in time for Day of the Dead, here's a delicious sugar skull.

Plush Calavera de Azucar

 

Ready to celebrate!

I've never seen a sugar skull decorated in the back, but it looked so plain unadorned.

So I added a flower.
