etsy find: upcycled toys by hasenpfeffer incorporated
Daniela Shelton makes gorgeous toys. Selling under the name Hasenpfeffer Incorporated (Hasenpfeffer also happens to be the name of her pet rabbit) Shelton hand-stitches stuffed dolls and bears with an incredible attention to detail. Not only is each toy charming to look at, each is wonderfully finished to stand up to actual kids’ play. Shelton makes her dolls from a combination of re-used clothing and hand-knitted outfits by her mom. She takes custom orders, too — wouldn’t a bride and groom doll wearing outfits made from the couple’s clothes be cute? The pieces range from $32.25 to $104.25, but the craftsmanship makes them worth every penny. See everything Hasenpfeffer has to offer here. –Mary T.
these are super fantastic! digging the name of her company, too.
We sang the Hasenpfeffer Incorporated song from Laverne and Shirley together at Urban Craft Uprising. They are very sturdy dolls – not squishy if that makes a difference to anyone, but, yes, very detailed and neato!
I saw these at Urban Craft Uprising, too. They are so very well made! I could see these lasting an entire childhood and then some.
