She has a fake lambskin covered bottle as might have been used in biblical times. Mary comes home with all the accessories shown in the pictures including a modified pacifier that fits in her open mouth. She does not have magnets. Her blanket is blue, as are some of her accessories, since blue is the traditional color for Mary.
