Ladie and Friends, Inc. are the designers and creators of The Family and Friends of Lizzie High© collectible wooden dolls. The company is a family owned and operated business located in historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Country life, parenting and cherished childhood memories together with a strong sense of family history and pride continue to provide company founders, Barbara and Peter Wisber, with a wellspring of inspiration for their creations. Their dolls capture the spirit of universal delights and simpler times when there were games to be played, friends to be made, wonderlands and adventures to experience, and lessons to be learned.

These whimsical wooden folk dolls are an updated version of handcrafted ones from the past. And to personalize each doll, they have lovingly borrowed the wonderful names from their own family. The innocence and joy that the Wisbers have captured in their art has brought them into a close, consistent and harmonious partnership with collectors worldwide. Doll lovers of all ages continue to be touched by the humorous and tender antics of Lizzie High©, and her friends and family.
