The oldest brother Santa’s face has a warm, classic design with a fluffy organic cotton beard, softly curled to mimic the gentle waves of snow. His rosy cheeks, made from hand-dyed clay, add a touch of warmth to his fair skin. A soft, red cotton hat sits atop his head, trimmed with delicate white cotton to complete the traditional holiday look. His kind eyes, embroidered with fine detail, give him a welcoming expression, ready to greet everyone who enters your home.
The middle brother has a more earthy and rustic charm. He wears a tea-coloured hat, adorned with sprigs of Christmas holly, the deep green leaves contrasting beautifully with the bright red berries. His beard, made from raw cotton, has a slightly rugged texture, but it shimmers softly in the light, thanks to the sprinkling of natural mica that dusts it. This Santa has a more outdoorsy feel as if he’s just come in from gathering holly and pinecones, bringing the essence of nature and the holiday season into your home.
The youngest one brings a playful and fresh energy to the trio. His outfit is adorned with touches of nature, starting with his organic green hat brim, which is lightly dusted with shell mica, giving it a subtle, iridescent shimmer. His beard is a soft mixture of lambswool and raw cotton, creating a delicate balance of texture and softness that adds to his youthful charm. This Santa feels lively and vibrant, as though he embodies the spirit of the forest during wintertime, ready to spread joy and laughter with a mischievous yet gentle twinkle in his eyes. [/read]

Lilyan
In the heart of spring, when the world begins to bloom and the air is fragrant with new life, a young girl named Lilyan sets off on a journey to Greece. She had long dreamed of visiting the land of ancient myths and azure seas, where the history of gods and philosophers intertwined with the modern charm of its whitewashed villages and olive groves.
Arriving in Athens, the city pulsed with excitement. Lilyan wandered through the lively Plaka neighbourhood, with its cobblestone alleys and colourful shops, each brimming with unique handmade items. Yet, it was not the temples or the statues that captured her heart that day, but a quaint little bazaar she stumbled upon tucked away from the main square.
The bazaar was bustling with locals and tourists, but one particular stall caught her eye. It was adorned with a delightful collection of umbrellas, each one more beautiful than the last. The vendor, an old woman with kind eyes and a gentle smile, noticed Lilyan’s interest and beckoned her closer. [read more]
The elderly woman’s voice was soft yet filled with pride, “These umbrellas are not just for the rain, dear. Each one tells a story. Some carry the tales of ancient gods, others the whispers of the sea.”
Lilyan’s eyes widened as she took in the stunning display before her. The umbrellas were nothing like the ones she had seen back home. Each was hand-painted with intricate designs that seemed to come alive under the soft spring sunlight. One had golden rays of sunlight dancing across it, while another was adorned with delicate olive branches, a nod to Athena, the goddess of wisdom. But one, in particular, drew Lilyan closer.
“This one,” Lilyan whispered, almost to herself.
The old woman smiled knowingly. “Ah, you have a good eye. That umbrella is special, much like Greece itself. It will bring you protection and beauty, wherever you go.”
Lilyan hesitated, though she couldn’t say why. She felt as if choosing this umbrella was not just about practicality. It was about carrying a piece of Greece with her, about taking home more than just memories. After a moment, she nodded, her heart set.
The woman wrapped the umbrella carefully in a linen cloth, the scent of lavender faintly rising from it. “May it bring you as much joy as Greece has given to us,” she said warmly.
As Lilyan left the bazaar, the umbrella tucked safely under her arm, she felt a sense of fulfilment that she hadn’t expected. The sun was beginning to dip lower in the sky, casting long shadows across the ancient city, but Lilyan’s heart was light. She felt connected to this place in a way she hadn’t before not just through the monuments and landscapes, but through the warmth of the people and the small, meaningful moments like this one.
For the rest of her trip, the umbrella accompanied her whether shading her from the midday sun as she explored the islands or offering a splash of colour as she strolled through the ancient ruins. Every time she held it, she felt the magic of Greece in her hands.
As Lilyan prepared to head home, she smiled and packed the umbrella in her bag. She knew it would remind her of more than just her adventure. It would remind her of the unexpected beauty in a small bazaar, and the stories that live in the simple things, like a hand-painted umbrella from Greece. [/read]

Lavinia
In the winter of 1870, Lavinia and her family lived in a traditional American village, known for its rich artistic and historical charm, with numerous shops offering old items, drawings, paintings, and handmade crafts. Lavinia often walked through the village centre with her younger brother, Dob, after school, stopping at the French bakery to buy fresh bread.
One day, on their way home, Lavinia noticed an antique shop called “The Gilded Age Emporium” displaying a beautiful toy horse with dark red wheels. Both she and Dob were captivated by it. “Lavinia, wow! Look at this horse, it’s so beautiful! Can we see it up close?” Dob eagerly asked. “Yes, little one, it’s stunning. Let’s take a closer look,” Lavinia replied. Dob then asked if he could ride the horse for a few minutes, and Philo, the kind shop owner, was happy to oblige. Philo, who had a passion for collecting antiques, loved children deeply and longed to have one of his own, although fate had not yet blessed him with that gift. He believed that God would eventually grant him a child with his devoted wife. [read more]
“Do you like the ride, kid?” Philo asked Dob. “Yeah, it’s wonderful! Thank you, Uncle,” Dob responded, delighted. From that day on, Dob would stop by the shop to ride the horse daily after school, with Philo generously allowing him to do so without any concern.
As spring approached, so did Dob’s birthday. Lavinia wanted to surprise him with the toy horse he loved so much. She broke open her porcelain piggy bank to see how much she had saved since summer. “It’s $5, and the horse costs $5 just as Philo mentioned. Thank God,” Lavinia said, feeling deeply grateful. She then asked her mother what they would prepare for Dob’s birthday the next day. Her mother requested that she buy an Italian pizza from the bakery before 3:00 pm, as it closed early on weekends. “Mom, what about the cake? Aren’t we baking a chocolate cake?” Lavinia asked in surprise. “I’m sorry, dear, our chickens haven’t laid any eggs for two days, so no cake this time,” her mother replied sadly. “It’s okay, Mom, we’ll make do,” Lavinia said, trying to stay positive.
The next day, Lavinia rushed to “The Gilded Age Emporium” to purchase the toy horse, only to find it missing from the window display. Panicking, she hurried inside, fighting back tears, and anxiously asked Philo if the horse had been sold. “Hey there, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Oh, the horse! It’s still here. I was just marking items for sale, and the horse is included, it’s now discounted from $5 to $3,” Philo explained.
Overwhelmed with relief, Lavinia realized how fortunate she was. “Thank God! I’m so happy it’s still available. I want to buy it right away for Dob’s birthday,” she told Philo. “Oh, really? Is today his birthday? How wonderful! Would you also accept this handmade bear as a gift for Dob? It’s made from 100% pure cotton, and your brother deserves it,” Philo offered with a smile. “Thank you so much, Philo! Dob will love it, especially because it’s from you,” Lavinia responded gratefully.
With $5, Lavinia purchased the toy horse for $3 and used the remaining $2 to buy a chocolate cake. She returned home, her heart overflowing with joy, ready to surprise both her brother and her mother. [/read]

Abraham
One evening, as the sun began to dip below the horizon, Abraham, the patriarch of many nations, embarked on a journey across the vast deserts of Canaan. His faithful camel trotted alongside him, the rhythmic sound of its hooves providing a steady companion to Abraham’s thoughts. The air was still, and the world around him seemed to hold its breath. The stars began to emerge, one by one, filling the sky with their twinkling light. As Abraham walked, he spoke to God, as he often did, in quiet reverence. “God, You have promised me descendants as numerous as the stars. You have guided me through trials and blessed me beyond measure. But tell me, what is to come of the nations that will rise from my seed?” [read more]
As he continued, the desert night grew colder, and Abraham wrapped his cloak tighter around his shoulders. Suddenly, the night was pierced by a voice, not of this earth, yet familiar and soothing. “Abraham,” the voice called, “faithful servant of the Most High.” Abraham halted, his heart quickening. “Who speaks to me?” he asked, though he already sensed the divine nature of the voice. “I am Gabriel,” the voice replied, “a messenger of God. I bring you news of great joy and a glimpse of the future that lies far beyond your time.” Abraham, though a man of great faith, felt a tremor of awe. He had seen many wonders, but never had he heard such words. “What news do you bring, O Gabriel?” The angel’s voice filled the air, warm and clear. “In the distant future, from the line of your descendant David, a child shall be born—a child who is the promised Messiah. His name shall be Jesus, and He will be called the Son of God. He will bring salvation to all nations, and through Him, the covenant you have made with God shall be fulfilled in ways you cannot yet comprehend.”
Abraham listened, the weight of the words sinking deep into his soul. “This child,” he said slowly, “will he walk the earth as a king?” “His kingdom is not of this world,” Gabriel replied. “He will walk among those facing poverty, the sick, and the brokenhearted. He will bring a new covenant, one of love and forgiveness, transcending the laws you have known.” Abraham nodded, his mind racing with thoughts of this future child, this Savior. “And how will this come to pass?” “A virgin shall conceive by the Holy Spirit,” said Gabriel, “and bear a son. This will be a sign to all that God is with His people.”
The stars seemed to shine brighter as the angel’s words hung in the air. Abraham, though separated by centuries from this miraculous event, felt a profound connection to the child that was to come. He knew that his faith, his journey, and the covenant God had made with him were all part of a grand design that would unfold long after he had left this earth.
“I am but a servant, O Lord,” Abraham whispered, looking up at the heavens. “May Your will be done.” As the angel’s presence faded, the night grew quiet once more, leaving Abraham alone with his thoughts and his faithful camel. He resumed his journey, but now, each step felt lighter, filled with the hope and promise of what was to come. And so, Abraham walked on, carrying within him the seed of a story that would one day change the world a story of a child born in Bethlehem, destined to bring light to all the nations, fulfilling the promises made to him so many ages ago [/read]

Moria
Hi, it’s Moria, a Victorian doll angel and the sister of the angel doll Gloria. I’m glad to have you on my page and to have you enjoying reading my magical story.
One beautiful, sunny day, I could hear birds singing, smell the flowers, and hear the gurgling sounds of water coming from the charming nature. While flying in the clear sky, I found a lonely, fluffy cloud moving toward me. I decided to sit on it to catch my breath after a long flight. The cloud started taking me on a trip to show me the beauty of God’s craft. “Oh, my God, what beautiful nature God made,” I said in impress. It is like a symphony of vivid colours and serene sounds. Mountains rise against the horizon, their peaks kissed by clouds, while lush forests teem with life, their canopies a vibrant green tapestry. [read more]
Suddenly, a cloud drifted across the valleys, casting a soft shadow over the land. I watched as the crystal-clear waters below shimmered under the golden rays of the sun, reflecting the beauty of the sky. Wildflowers bloomed in an explosion of vibrant colours, painting the valleys with a kaleidoscope of hues. The air was filled with the whisper of the wind as it gently rustled through the trees, bringing with it a profound sense of peace.
All these sights and sounds blended together like a harmonious song. The birds’ melodic calls and the soft rustling of leaves created a soothing symphony, inviting you to pause, breathe deeply, and marvel at the intricate and breathtaking beauty of nature.
Then, I asked myself, “Isn’t God worth thanking for all these graces he gave us in our lives?” [/read]

Carla
I’m Clara, a talented acrobat performing in a circus to cover my living expenses.

To make ends meet, I decided to work as a street acrobat after my circus performances, showcasing my skills to anyone who would watch.
