Melinda's is made with premium, all-natural ingredients: fresh habanero peppers, carrots, onions, garlic, lime juice, attitude. When we feel like it, we'll mash in mango to mellow it, chipotle peppers to set a small smoky fire, or papayas for pure fruit flavor to balance against intense heat. What we won't put in is artificial flavors or additives. Just pure ingredients. Pure flavors. Pure sensation that lingers and lasts.

Baby Jolie by Monika Levenig
Baby Jolie at 26" in vinyl with a cloth body is a very special doll. It is the first time that Monika has put a beaded armature into one of her babies. Baby Jolie can easily be positioned crawling and tilt her head up so she looks at you as she crawls. She can also be positioned seated. The beaded armature adds to her realistic poses. She has a soft cuddly body as well as chunky arms and legs that are sculpted up over the elbows and the knees. She can wear dresses with short trousers or a skirt and short sleeves. Her happy and cute smiling face with open mouth and two upper teeth and a little tongue will make you smile. She has very fine blonde hair and pretty blue eyes. She has applied upper lashes and painted lower lashes.
Monika dressed Baby Jolie in an adorable red outfit. On the bottom of her jumper is a pretty white fabric with little flowers. That same material is used on her shirt. Her pants under the jumper have a button detail so you can remove her jumper and change the look of her outfit. There is a cute bunny design embroidered on her bodice. Her red shoes have embroidered hearts on them as does the accessory in her hair.

According to Susan her granddaughter inspired the overall theme, "We were busy packing up her birthday presents after she'd been put to bed. I guess the wrapping paper made a bit of noise and she appeared in the doorway with her comforter blanket and watched for a moment. Then she went over to the partly wrapped presents picked up her teddy and toddled off back to bed without saying a word. She won't go anywhere without him now."

Cinderella (Aschenputtel) Monika Levenig
The story book series by Monika Levenig is a very special group of four dolls. The first in the series was Red Riding Hood. Cinderella, Ht 48", a full body vinyl sculpt with eleven joints is the largest size that Monika has created. She can sit or stand. Monika writes, "She has a very pretty and happy, smiling face as she is looking forward to seeing her Prince. Her eyes are green and her hair is blonde with very long soft curls."
The theme and look of Cinderella's outfit is based on the classic Grimm's Fairy Tale. In the story, Cinderella is friends with the white turtle doves who spin her three beautiful dresses of silver and gold so she can go to the dances put on by the King who is looking for a lovely bride for his son, the Prince. For the third, and final dress, the slippers were made of gold and Cinderella left one golden slipper on the stairs as she left the ball. It was that golden slipper in the original version that the Prince took around to find his true love.
Monika has taken the description from this Grimm’s classic and created her own unique beautiful gown for Cinderella in silver and gold. The fabric used has a silver embroidered thread woven into the fabric. The accents on the dress are done in gold. Monika's Cinderella is adorned with a beautiful crown showing that she was selected by the Prince in the end to be his Princess. Cinderella comes with one of the doves that perches in her hand to remind us of the story and Cinderella's kind heart. She comes with a wooden doll stand.

Sandy (Flower Girl) by Monika Peter-Leicht
Flower girls are always so cute to watch during the wedding ceremony. You never know what they will do or say as they walk down the aisle ahead of the bride. Monika has sculpted an adorable face with a very sweet and innocent expression for Sandy, her first flower girl.

These arms allow having a dress with the shorter capped sleeves. She has pretty blue eyes, applied upper and lower lashes and a lovely soft to the touch blonde wig with two little braids.
Sandy's dress is an incredible combination of floral ribbon effects on her bodice, pearls and layers of pretty pink chiffon. The ribbon rosettes with pearl centers at her waist enhance the beauty of her dress. The ankle length of her dress adds to the formality of the bridal occasion. It is hard to imagine a more beautiful flower girl's dress. She has on pink patent leather shoes to compliment her outfit. She comes with her own wooden doll stand.

Aladdin's Princess Halima
Princess Halima, the Sultan's daughter in Grimm's Fairy Tale of The Adventures of Aladdin is Monika Peter-Leicht's final doll in her Fairy Tale series. Monika appreciates the incredible response from her collectors when introducing Alice, Snow White, Rapunzel and her Prince in this same series. She has now sculpted a magnificent beauty in a deeper skin tone with black hair and pretty brown eyes. She is 42" tall and a full body sculpt with eleven joints. She has ball joints in the elbows and knees so she can sit or stand. She also has joints at the wrist so you can position her hands in different poses.
To say her outfit is magnificent would be an understatement. It is the combination of intricate hand sewn beading on her skirt and on the edge of her veil that makes her look so spectacular. Monika even added a few clusters of beading on the front of her bodice as well. In keeping with the look of a Princess from this very special fairy tale, Princess Halima has jewels hanging down on her forehead as well as very special dangling earrings.
The color of her outfit is a very pretty blue/green that is off set nicely with the gold trim and red centers on the floral beading. She will look great with the other dolls in this series and also add something very special to your collection. Aladdin was very lucky that he freed the genie from the lamp and had a chance to wish for the hand of Princess Halima.
In the end after all the adventures, they lived happily ever after in their castle by simply making a wish. Monika's hope is that all your wishes will come true as well.
