Welcome to gifts by Marye!

A collection of handcrafted figurines, keepsakes, and custom creations inspired by nature, nostalgia, and the magic of meaningful moments.

From my cozy corner workshop in upstate New York, I blend my Ecuadorian roots with a love for color, craft, and storytelling. I work mostly by hand, shaping and stitching each piece one at a time.

Each design begins as a spark — a memory, a flower, a favorite season — and takes shape through careful layering of textures, colors, and tiny details. Everything I make is a celebration of care in every curve and creativity in every stitch.

The Petalwood Collection™ - Ivy

Say hello to Ivy, the second companion in The Petalwood Collection — a series of handcrafted dolls inspired by the gentle beauty of spring.

With her soft pink robe, cozy faux-fur trim, and ever-loyal bunny in hand, Ivy brings a sense of comfort, charm, and storybook sweetness. Every detail is shaped and finished by hand, giving her a warm, one-at-a-time feel that makes each Ivy just a little different.

Only three Ivys will be available this spring. Whether she returns next season — perhaps in a new outfit or joined by a friend — is all part of the seasonal magic of The Petalwood Collection.

Let Ivy bring a little bloom into your home — and begin your journey into a world where each season brings something special.

About Gifts by Marye

From my cozy corner workshop in upstate New York, I blend my Ecuadorian roots with a love for color, craft, and storytelling. Each piece begins as a spark—a memory, a flower, a favorite season—and takes shape through careful layering of textures, colors, and tiny details.

I work mostly by hand, shaping and stitching one piece at a time, often with a cup of tea nearby and a sketchbook close at hand. Whether it’s a figurine, a keepsake, or a custom creation, every design is a celebration of care in every curve, and creativity in every stitch.

Thank you for visiting—I hope you find something here that speaks to you.
