Holiday Guidance: Mimi Kirchner

Today is a great morning. This is the first time in 5 years of owning a car that I haven't had to get up at 6am, bring the car to the garage and wait for it to be finished. Sasso did it, god bless him. Instead I get to stay at home and write about some very cool dolls.
I'm involved with a group of Boston Etsy sellers called Boston Handmade, and that is how I got to meet Mimi Kirchner and her amazing dolls. Mimi creates her original dolls from mostly vintage and recycled materials. I think they are stunning, even more so in person. I would love to have a collection of her dolls in our home, and one of the tattoo men is at the top of my list (isn't it ingenious how the toile is his tattoo? see above). I would love to get a family of robots for Sasso too.
Mimi sells her dolls through her etsy store here. You can also view her blog at MimiKirchner.com as well as see many photos of her work here and here.
