Primitive Gingerbread Doll Pudding Maplewish Handmade Folk Art Christmas Shelf Sitter Gingerbread Decor Ceramic Snowman Button

🍪 THE GINGERBREAD GROVE — WORLD LORE

Deep within the Sugarplum Woods sits The Gingerbread Grove, a tiny Christmas village where every ginger-doll has a job to keep the holiday magic running. From mitten-makers to tree-lighters to recipe keepers, each one helps warm the season with a sprinkle of cinnamon cheer. These primitive, folk-art gingerbread girls are handmade with vintage charm, stitched mittens, and the sweetest ceramic treasures—each one a one-of-a-kind resident of the Grove.

Welcome to The Gingerbread Grove, a tiny Christmas village tucked deep within the Sugarplum Woods. Every resident has a special job to keep the holiday magic alive — and Pudding Maplewish may just have the sweetest job of all.

As the Keeper of Winter Recipes, Pudding guards the Grove’s ancient cookbook: a flour-dusted treasure filled with caramel fog pies, cinnamon snowflake cookies, and the legendary Frosting Fudge that powers the village lights. She’s a gentle soul, always humming while she stirs imaginary bowls, her mittens dusted with “sugar” from a lifetime of baking spells.

Each winter morning, Pudding wanders the village with her cherished star ornament and her vintage snowman button — a keepsake passed down from generations of gingerbread bakers. And though she’s small, her warmth fills the Gingerbread Grove with the smell of cozy kitchens and happy childhood memories.

Pudding Maplewish is more than décor —
She’s a tiny story waiting to live on your holiday shelf.
