Why You’ll Love It
Irina Martin has an extraordinary gift for capturing the tiny emotional moments of childhood, and this delightful one-of-a-kind miniature is a perfect example. Titled "But I Want to Wear My Pretty Shoes!", this heartwarming doll instantly tells a story that every parent and grandparent will recognize. Hand-sculpted of clay and meticulously hand-painted in Germany, this sweet little girl wears a soft pink tunic with a delicate lace-trimmed collar, realistic denim jeans, and brown leather lace-up boots. The untied laces dangle below her feet. Clutched tightly in her hands, however, is the real object of her affection - a pair of beautiful burgundy dress shoes she would much rather be wearing. Her slightly pleading, pouty look expresses her disappointment.
She is ready to display on the edge of a bed, a hallway bench, nursery chair, or entryway mudroom.
