Juime

I recently found beautiful Juime, a webstore (at juime.de) creating lovelies in Germany, which has some of the most brilliant dolls and stuffed animals I've ever seen. They're both extremely quirky and breathtakingly pretty at the very same time and have the most delicately hand painted faces that bring them to life. Everything is handmade by the husband/wife team and they create everything from scarves to pillows to original art on canvas.

My little Elliot wants one!

A mermaid.

School girls.

Grinseblumchen

Fancy ladies in bathing caps.

A heart elf

A schweinebar. I'm not sure what this little guy actually is, but I love him anyway. There was no English translation for him. Do you know?

A very studious bunny.

Perfect little homespun skirts.

A captivating little lamp.

Patchwork vases

I love this type case. I remember these in our home when I was little, filled with tiny animals and people, I think. We called them prentice trays but I'm not sure if that's the correct name. They were quite an obsession for a time and I think it would be really fun to start a new one.

For the English translation-
