Miss Kiki Designs Dolls to Treasure through Lifetimes

By Mari Gold

As long as there are little girls there will be dolls for their enjoyment. For the ultimate in handcrafted beauties that work as collectables, keepsakes or just treasured toys, show off the ultimate in high-end dolls from Miss Kiki of Cherry Blossom Lane. Everything about these dolls says luxury, starting with the Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies every one of these petite charmers and continuing with exquisite attire. Dolls from Miss Kiki are all handmade, embroidered with care and love by a small team of artisans and filled with sustainable corn fiber.

Prepster Payton sports red bows in her brown hair and wears a red and brown checked dress for a look of total cool. Ashanti, an African-American doll, has a pink and white dress and pink bows on her shoes, while Louisa has an oh-so-stylish ponytail off to one side, white tights with red dots, and a floral pattern dress with eye-catching lace collar.

Boys are not overlooked in the collection with dolls like Charley Marley Pirate — all red-white-and-blue swagger and a eye patch for authenticity, as well as Military Hero David clad in blue, white and black “camo” for little guy appeal. New Vintage Bears delight both girls and boys with looks like Smooksie Lou who, like all dolls from this company, has a Miss Kiki signature on the fanny. Bastian has stars on his ears to go with the stars on his tunic.

Miss Kiki sells across the globe, off to a roaring start in 2011 when Kate Elizabeth set out to create a vintage-look doll small enough for little hands to deal with easily. Each doll is entirely one of a kind and dressed in exquisite fabrics, laces and other embellishments. Kate, her husband and four children now live in Southern Australia , working in her Adelaide studio with local artists to design and create dolls to meet the ever-expanding call for her works.

These dolls are very special, designed as keepsake items to be cherished through generations. The petite size and soft quality of Miss Kiki dolls encourage hugging as well as displaying on a bed or shelf to add a grace to any child’s room.
