Bamboletta Doll

Bamboletta’ means ‘little doll’ in Italian and is a term of endearment that parents use for their children. Bamboletta Dolls is a family business based in Cobble Hill, BC. Christina Platt and her team of "mamas" and husband, John, take great pride and care to use only the finest materials available to make their special dolls. Recently featured in Mothering Magazine, Bamboletta Dolls are growing in popularity around the world. While in Guatemala this past Winter/Spring a Bamboletta Ambassador joined us for the journey and regularly blogged about her adventures.

Christina is donating one of her special dolls to our upcoming gala. Her name is Poppy and she is pictured here on the bench at the coffee shop where we just met Christina on our way up Island. Isn't she adorable

Lucita-Bamboletta Doll

As you know (previous blog entry), I am a huge fan of Christina Platt’s Bamboletta dolls. Christina used to live just half a block up from us here in Vancouver but now lives on Vancouver Island with her husband, John and their two adorable boys. Christina is one of those people, one can instantly connect with. She’s friendly, easy going and so loving. She has generously donated a doll for the upcoming gala event and it arrived in the mail just the other day. Christina’s dolls are made using all natural wool and cotton but the most amazing ingredient that goes into each of her dolls is love. Christina pours her heart into each doll and you can tell when you hold one of them in your arms.

I am sure Lucita is going to be a popular item

for the parents and grandparents attending the event. She’s just way too adorable and would make the ultimate Christmas present for a special child.  Check out the Bamboletta site.
