Please Meet Listener

Please meet Listener, a special elf created by my mum for my daughter as a Christmas present.


She's a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted doll constructed from cotton, satin, and fibers.



She's a bit homely, as she's part woodland troll on her father's side and part elf and autumn fairy on her mum's, but she's a good friend.


Her job is to listen to Shannon's stories, while Shannon writes them down in this journal...


which has its very own pouch.


Listener has beautiful freehand-embroidered and hand-painted wings, but I am quite sure that she'll never fly away.
