Sarah Baldwin was for many years a trained Waldorf educator before she acquired Bella Luna Toys to supply natural playthings that inspire children’s imaginations. Several years ago, she met a Maine boatbuilder—she guards his identity as carefully as Coca-Cola guards its recipe—who began producing these beautiful rocking dory boats to sell through Bella Luna. They’re not cheap ($299.95), but they’re heirloom-quality treasures. Bella Luna Toys, Rockland, ME. 888-438-1299; bellalunatoys.com
