Where to find Aruba doll?

Has anyone ever seen the Aruba girl dolls sold in the shops airport? They look handmade, about 8-10" in height, various faces, outfits, hairstyles - rather inexpensive...little trinket kind of things sold across from the departure gates with all the other souvenirs. I'm trying to find somewhere online to buy one for Christmas.
Any suggestions?

Thanks so much for looking and responding.
Yes, I did try Ebay but nothing similar.
The link above shows what is the closest I've seen, but not quite it - I'll keep searching using your recommendations.
Yes, the ones in the airport look like young girls rather than adults. They are pretty cute.
