If you’ve ever rendered someone speechless by your generosity, this little figurine will help bring back that Kodak memory for you. Darling Darlene represents the wonder and innocence of a child waking up on Christmas day and running down the stairs to see an explosion of brightly decorated presents taking up every inch of space beneath the Christmas tree.

She is garbed in her very special holiday pajamas, decorated with a holly berry sprig pattern on a white background and a white collar with a red trim lining the edges, as well as the edges of her sleeves, shirt, and pant legs. Her jolly red socks with little gray mouse slippers adds a touch of merriment to her outfit as well as the festive atmosphere. Her slippers are a fun detail that Lori likes to add to some of her figures occasionally! To celebrate this special day she had her mom do up her hair in two cute little buns on the side of her head with two bright red yarn holding them in place, that way they won’t come undone before the family visits. Her ribbons match the bow on her first present wonderfully and adds emphasis to the mint green and white polka dot wrapping paper. The green base gives support in case her legs crumble from being so overwhelmed by all the magic and splendor of the holiday.

Darling Darlene by Lori Mitchell for ESC & Company is created from resin, yarn and wire. Give this little girl to someone who especially loves Christmas from their childhood, it will help her keep the spirit of Christmas alive through their future celebrations.
