These adorable dolls are here to bring some love into your home. Artisan Elias Garcia arranges them in a heart-shaped frame covered with colorful hand-loomed fabric and finished with a wooden sign reading 'Love'. Each doll is handmade by Elias's sister, Aura, and she dresses each one in a unique handwoven dress. Quitapenas or 'worry dolls' represent Ixmucane, a princess who was gifted with infinite wisdom. Children are instructed to confide all of their worries to their quitapenas and then place them underneath their pillow at night. The dolls will impart their wisdom to them while they sleep and in the morning they'll wake up knowing what to do.
