The perfect gift for a child - Magic dolls
If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind gift for your children, this may be it. Here you'll find magic dolls, books and music CD done by a small familiar group of people dedicated to the fulfilment of a dream.
"Era uma vez um sonho" - once upon a time a dream - is the dream come true of a woman that needed to create a magic world for children and adults. Dwarfs, witches, princesses, fairies and even Santa Claus live in "Era Uma Vez Um Sonho".
Here there's no place for plastics or yellow hair dolls with perfect shapes and the like. These dolls are 100% hand made with non-allergic cotton cloth. They are colorful, magic, expressive creatures that take children into a fantasy world and make us, adults, dream of our childhood. They look like the old rag doll style, with a life of their own. With a strong pedagogic aspect, the quality of its materials and their design have assured its strong demand. Their main concept is to pass through love and tenderness... And that surely makes the difference.
Julieta, the lovely lady that had this dream over 10 years ago, has since then created over 200 characters. All hand made. May be you'll find here the perfect friend for a child.
Unfortunatly the books and the musics are in Portuguese, but still worth a look.
