Kitchen Witch – Handmade Hanging Doll With a Painted Fabric Face

Kitchen Witch – The Old Folk Charm That Hangs Over the Stove

A handmade fabric doll in the old Scandinavian kitchen-witch tradition, sewn to hang from a hook or stand on a shelf. Each one is stitched and painted individually, so no two faces are quite the same. She measures 12 x 5 x 18 cm and weighs next to nothing.

Why choose a kitchen witch?

Northern European kitchens have hung one of these above the stove for generations, as much for the story as for the luck. It is a small, warm piece of folklore rather than another gadget on the counter. People who cook tend to like having one around.

• Handmade throughout — Sewn and painted one at a time, with small differences between pieces.
• Hang or stand — A loop lets her hang from a hook, and the base lets her sit on a shelf.
• Fabric build — Soft and light, so she will not chip or scratch a surface.
• Three skirt colors — Green, red or blue, depending on what your kitchen already has going on.
• Travels well — Small enough for a camper, an RV or a rear-view mirror.

A bit of folklore that earns its hook above the stove.

Hang her where the air is warm but not directly over an open flame or a boiling pot. Dust her now and then with a dry brush rather than a damp cloth, since the fabric is not washable. She makes an easy gift for someone who has just moved into a new kitchen.
