Dolls

Not every doll is just a doll. It is the previous owner's unique story that makes a doll special. The doll Rosa was selected because of her nice chubby legs, the two dolls in the orange crate that were not allowed to leave the sick child's bed, or the small witch with a nose that has been worn down due to all the cuddles.
