We have had the pleasure of featuring Mattea Anderson at a few of our Crafty Mamas Bazaars (the next one is Saturday 12/22! Mark your calendars!) Among the many wonderful items she makes are Lovey Dolls.
These dolls are super cute and very huggable. The doll’s faces are embroidered, so there are no small parts to be a choking hazard. Mattea only uses natural fibers in her dolls – cotton exteriors and organic wool stuffing.

Avoiding plastics of all kinds – especially phthalates- in teething toys is becoming accepted advice. But what should you do for your little one who is cuttin’ teeth? Our maple teething ring may be just the thing!
These attractive teething rings are made in the USA. They are easy for little fingers to grasp and soothing to rub on tender gums. Each teether is unique and all are completely non-toxic – the only finish is beeswax!
TIP – You can make the maple teether a cool sensation by putting a little water on it and placing it in the fridge for a while.
We have just received our shipment of fun finger puppets! Hand knitted of 100% cotton, these finger puppets have a lot of details and pack a lot of fun in a small package. We have a wide variety of characters to choose from.
As with every product we carry at Milagros, these finger puppets were responsibly made. No sweatshops, no child labor – no kidding!
Mila’s Mimi (her paternal grandmother) is a big fan of unexpected gifts. Every now and then, a card will arrive in the mail for Mila out of the blue and inside will be a Little Dover Book. It lights up her face for days….Sticker books, coloring books, tattoos, a whole variety of fun is found in these little fun treasures.
Now you can find Little Dover Books at Milagros. At only $1.50 each, they cost less than a greeting card but pack a lot more fun. We have too many choices to list here but if you are into fairies, pirates, wildlife, dinosaurs and more – don’t worry….we got you covered. These books – printed in the USA – always make a great present.
Tired of all those normal toys? Looking for something a little different? How about a weird, freaky but totally loveable Cranky Pal?
Cranky Pals can now be found at Milagros. Each Cranky Pal stuffed toy is made by hand by local mama Jessica Beck, so each one is unique. She uses all acrylic, all the time, which means no allergies and no worries.
Yes, Virginia, ugly is in. Get on the bandwagon…
The safety of toys has been a big issue in the news lately. As we have noted previously, all the toy product lines sold at Milagros are made with pride in the USA. Many of our toys are hand-made, all are free of toxic finishes.
The only line of manufactured toys we carry are from Vermont toymaker Maple Landmark. We carry wood cars, trucks, trains, train whistles, rattles, tops, and more from Maple Landmark. We thought we would share some information on the production of these fine toys from the manufacturer:
“Nearly all our products are made here in our shop in Middlebury, Vermont. We buy, decorate and resell a half dozen items and, with the exception of an imported maple writing pen, those items are domestically produced as well. We do not do turnings (wooden round parts), those are domestically produced, mostly from mills in Maine.
Our materials are primarily local. All solid wood (maple, cherry, and pine) is sourced locally and largely grown locally. We are proud to say our lumber comes from people who care about healthy forests. For a few items, we do use a high grade plywood, which comes from Europe.
Our coatings, likewise, are domestically sourced. Indeed three of four suppliers produce here in Vermont, including our main supplier who we’ve been working with for 20 years. All finishes have passed safety testing in the past. We have never purchased finish based on price, we look for application and safety – not only for kids, but also for our employees.”
