Bonnie's Bundles Dolls

You have come to the right place. Vermont doll artist, Bonnie Watters, has been making her original handmade cloth dolls – over 13,000 of them now for 41 years.

What makes them incredible?

With hand embroidered faces and layers of calico clothing, these heirlooms are filled with personality and character. You need to meet them in person. Just know they are collectible, decorative and playable, each one unique and one of a kind. The average doll takes almost two work days to make.

Is this where I get one?

Bonnie’s dolls are showcased in three rooms of the Watters’ Vermont historic stone house in Chester. Here you will see and touch almost 100 different dolls, all colors and all sizes, and see the “manufacturing” process. Meeting Bonnie and the Bundles in person can happen at one of the carefully selected craft fairs too. Finally from your home, you can have a leisurely on-line gallery experience, purchasing by phone, fax or mail. Once you visit the galleries, you might be ready to venture to the ordering page.

The Gallery is open daily Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Check out our blogs; they are great stories.
