Autumn & Winter 2011 Spring 2012
New friends in the family! morris fox, anna ballerina, little linn and minnie mushroom...
it was a warm autumn day in the esthex forrest and all members of the family gathered around the tree. there was a slightly nervous vibration in the air that everyone felt, the feeling of entering a new episode in a book... owl hendrik had been telling them stories about morris fox, anna ballerina, minnie mushroom and last but not least little linn. morris fox was a good friend of owl hendrik and he admired his intelegence. unfortunatly morris was not that smart but to compensate he always dresses very smart wearing tweed trousers and a small bow tie. anna ballerina (artistic name “anna-mo”) had never admired a carreer as a ballerina untill she heard this beautifull rythm in the whistling sound of the leaves in the trees which made her feel like dancing instantly. she never stopped ever since and while waking up this particular morning and thinking about meeting everyone in the forrest she made a little dance while jumping out of bed. minnie mushroom hadn’t always been so small but the funny thing with mushrooms is, after growing they soon start shrinking again. she doesn’t really mind because she is still the loveliest red around.
last but not least to join the family is little linn. being the youngest around she loves it when she is found funny and cute. she always wears a clowns hat to entertain whenever possible, with her chubby arms and legs she is hard to not cuddle.
When Esther met Sofie
it was many years ago, in the year 2003, when esther met sofie. she existed as a drawing which she made as a 4-year old esther felt inspired by the humor and simplicity and after bringing sofie to life the family of dolls, musicboxes, rattles and much more, expanded quickly.
Made in Thailand, with care!
all esthex dolls are made in thailand at a workplace which received an ICTI certificate because they provide good workingconditions for their employees the whole collection is sold worldwide to baby and kids boutiques and lifestylestores, for kids and grown ups!
Forrest friends! secretly hidden friends who can be found on secret spots in the woods...
