Ok, girlfriends far and wide will understand that feeling you get when you see something that just SPEAKS to you. Like a stunning piece of retro scrapping paper, or that chocolate brown handbag, or the shabby chic fabric. For most of us of the female gender, it could be a multitude of things, not fogetting that we are first and foremost GATHERERS, and always will be. Well my latest love would have to be the Kimmidolls.... I am just crazy about Kimmi's. These little dolls just had me oohing and ahhhing much better, wanting to buy the lot! Seriously, I have not seen anything this cute and girly in a long time, and as my gf Trace said ..... Girly is "my thing" ...
Each Kimmidoll has her own meaning, representing one of "lifes true values". Kimmidolls were based on the Japanese Kokeshi dolls, which were handcrafted by peasant farmers as tokens of love or friendship.
I just love them because they're fun, cute, and all have such beautiful designs on their "dresses". At this stage Kimmi's can only be found in these countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, New Zealand, Portugal, Hong Kong, France, Japan, United Arab Emirates.

Hi there
ReplyDeleteJust saw you're also a Kimmidoll fan. You can buy them at Durban airport!!! That's where I saw my first one and bought one for a friend. I SO wish I had bought one for myself.
Happy days!
Kim (believe it or not!)
Great blog and I love those dolls too. Also love Pukka and Garu - some really cute Japanese characters.
