Dolls - Cynthia James

The making of cloth dolls has been a tradition in St. Lucia for a very long time - trays of colourful dresses and smiling faces decorate market stalls and shop shelves alike.

Cynthia James is known for her beautifully crafted cloth dolls - and doll souvenirs. Tiny, handsewn items - little dolls on the end of pencils, pin cushion dolls, tiny fridge-magnet dolls, now also holding notepaper, and her latest addition, little kweyol sacks - filled with fragrant pot pourri to adorn your fridge, hang in your closet or in your car to freshen your ride.  These souvenirs are exquisitely crafted to last.
