Last week I bought this adorable doll from Luvaboo at a local craft fair. These dolls have velcro attached to the eyes and hands so that they can play peek-a-boo, give hugs, and hang around. Luvaboo does not have an online shop yet, but you can e-mail to buy a doll. My four-year-old handed over her Barbie in favor of this doll, so it was a big hit with the kids.

I have such memories of these candle pyramids from my childhood. We had several of the pyramids that my grandmother must have bought in Germany. You light the candles and the tiny wooden figures spin around in a magical way. These are amazingly beautiful and well-crafted.
The Wooden Wagon has a large selection of candle pyramids and has offered readers of The Long Thread a 10% off coupon for the month of November (enter the code TLT1109 at checkout). They have lots of beautiful wooden toys including my favorite — Flade wooden figures, plus nutcrackers, Fagus trucks, Ostheimer wooden toys, and a great selection of high quality art supplies for kids. So check out their site and buy some new family heirlooms.
Please note: This is not a paid advertisement. The Wooden Wagon sent me this coupon code and since I love their site, I thought I’d pass it along to you! If you have a shop of handmade goods, I’d love to share special discounts for the holidays. Just send me an e-mail at thelongthreadATgmailDOTcom.
