Through these dolls & books girls will learn characteristics based and inspired on the women in the Bible.

OUR KEY SCRIPTURE

ISAIAH 60:1-3

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,

but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.

Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

NICOLA MEYER

Co-Founder & Owner 

La vie en rose literally translates to Life in pink. However, it would be better translated to experiencing life through rosy pink glasses. The idea is to depict a state where everything appears rosy and cheerful to you. It’s about a state of bliss when everything around you is a source of joy. 

The paragraph above describes the way in which I experience life. In other words I choose to see things in a positive light. My favourite scripture is Phil 4:8. “Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.”God placed a dream in my heart to make dolls. When I was a little girl my favourite gift from my grandmother was a very special doll. Her name was Ginger, she had big green eyes, curly hair and she was made out of porcelain.

This dream made my heart glow inside and I was so excited to share it with my best friend who during this time asked me to write children’s books with her. When I shared it with her she smiled and suggested that we combine the books and dolls into a beautiful gift for little girls to treasure. It was one of those moments where I had no other choice but to realise that this is not just a good thing, but a God thing. I would like to inspire girls through these books and dolls to draw closer to their King. My prayer for them is to become anointed followers of Christ. At the same moment I wish that girls would have a very special, sweet connection and relationship with their mom. My mom is my best friend. I can honestly say that this relationship is my sweetest treasure. I hope that this gift set guides and inspires girls to cherish this same sweet treasure. 

I am married to my farmer husband Willem Meyer. Together with him life is a big adventure that is filled with joy everyday.

 

BIANCA SERFONTEIN

Co-Founder & Owner
From a young age I adopted the saying that the world is like a mirror if you face it smiling it smiles back at you. My favourite thing about being a Christian is that I get to Shine all of Gods goodness to others. The first Bible lesson I can recall, my Sunday school teacher placed a beautiful diamond necklace on a black piece of velvet material. She inspired me at the age of 10 to make a decision to shine no matter how dark the world gets. I have the privilege of being married to Ruan Serfontein, together we have two princesses Sophia and Olivia. Being their mom is such a joy. I love to teach, equip and inspire them through stories. They were certainly my inspiration to writing these books.
