STORY

Shelly has always had a passion for fashion and she dreamt of becoming a clothes designer. However, her parents were very poor, and she could not afford to pursue her dreams.

One day, Shelly found a sewing machine at a garage sale and bought it with the little money she had. She started practicing and perfecting her skills every day after school. Shelly's determination and hard work paid off when she got accepted into a prestigious fashion design school.

Shelly faced many challenges during her studies, but she persevered and graduated with honors. She landed a job at a prominent fashion company and worked her way up to become a lead designer.

Shelly never forgot her humble beginnings and used her success to give back to her community. She started a free program to teach poor young talented girls how to sew and pursue their own dreams of becoming designers.

Through her passion, hard work and generosity, Shelly has proven that with dedication and perseverance, anyone can achieve their dreams.


The Friendies are little cuties that live in children’s rooms, in old boxes full of toys. Most of the time, they look like ordinary toys, but they come to life once the room is empty. The Friendies then leave their box on tiptoe and put the toys scattered around the room back to their usual places. Sometimes, when they feel very tired, the Friendies fall asleep on the bed, not making it back to their box. When you find a Friendy laying on the bed, then you clearly think that it was you who put her there. But if you ever look through the keyhole before you enter the room, you will probably see your Friendy silently walking around, collecting and putting the toys away.

These little cuties are great helpers and will be very happy to settle in every children’s room. Your kids are gonna love them! Make a Friendy!

Friendy Shelly with Gentle Bear is the eleventh doll from the “AradiyaToys Friendies” collection.
