NOTE: If you want Maria to arrive in time for Christmas, consider adopting now, as international shipping outside Europe takes considerably longer.

Meet Maria, a handmade cutie standing just under 14 inches (35 cm) tall — comforting in a little one’s hands or quietly enchanting the room decor. She was created over many hours of joyful, attentive work, each stitch adding to her gentle expression. Her face carries the serene sweetness typical of Waldorf dolls, with a hint of curiosity in her embroidered eyes.

Maria is fully dressed for winter wanderings. Her linen dress has a graceful simplicity, allowing its natural texture to shine, while over her shoulders she wears a beautifully tailored cape — warmly lined on the inside and fastened with little buttons, accompanied with a removable neckpiece on top. Her soft winter hat and sturdy handmade boots complete her outfit, giving her a timeless look inspired by Northern forests and holiday cottage tales.

One of Maria’s most treasured belongings is her little Christmas drum. Handmade with care, it can be for play or hung as a festive ornament to bring her charm to the Christmas tree.

Maria is equally at home as a companion for thoughtful play or as a beautiful piece of decor — bringing a whisper of warmth, craft, and Christmas wonder wherever she is placed.
