This Namaste Stephanie doll was made for the creater and owner of Mother Earth Learning Village, where my daughter is growing and learning in a free and happy way. This doll includes namaste hands, meditative leg cross, a rainbow vest, crystal bracelet, wood bead necklace and beads in the hair. I loved adding the little details to personalize this.
