Shelly has been one of our best sellers since she debuted a LONG time ago (Mermaid Power!) and she has "helped us stay afloat when it's been sink or swim more than once." Thank you, Shelly and everyone who has purchased her!! Contains: one 2" - 3" string doll character with a double-sided fabric tag and lobster claw keyring. Fair Trade and Handmade in Thailand, each string doll has his or her own special power that is always positive and helpful. They are fun for the whole family and make a perfect gift.
OUR STRING DOLL ARTISTS are based in small villages in the mountains outside of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Crafting String Dolls is the main occupation for most of our artisans, which means a reliable income and improved living standards for their families and communities in their economically developing regions. When they are not making string dolls, many of our workers spend time taking care of their families and tending to their vegetable gardens for self-sufficiency. Some have other jobs such as sewing or working in shops and restaurants.
