When my mother saw her doll, she nearly fell over. We are stunned at
the quality of your work. Wow! Are we ever glad we found your web site. Many sincere thanks for your brilliant

The doll arrives 10 minutes ago, and now I can't get a word
in edgewise with my mother. She is totally delighted with your work!
Many thanks again. Regards,

I just love the baby. I think that at my sisters' house she
was dropped. Probably by a maid or one of her cats. I will never get the true answer. But she is lovely,
I have her in my guest room on the bed. My cleaning lady thought she was a real baby. Thank you so very much for all the work you did. My Mother and I will
cherish her until she goes to my granddaughter in the futurel Thank
you once more for doing the impossible. Dorothy Jagou

The doll looks simply wonderful. My mom took me aside a
couple of weeks ago and told me she wanted to talk about her doll. She said how much she wanted to have it restored
and what did I think. My sister and I decided that we had better just tell her that the box in the basement was empty
and the doll was well on the way to restoration. She will be thrilled. Thank you for your expertise and
hard work which has made this possible. Thank you, LuAnne Brown

Just wanted to let you know that I found a stand for Dolly, and
put her on my antique side by side in my bedroom. She is my favorite china :0) I pinned her shawl down just a little so I
could see her face a little bit better. She is so beautiful. I cannot believe it.. I love her face.. You should be very, very
proud of your work..I couldn't be happier..just had to tell you again how happy I am.. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Bobbie Pearce

Janie, the doll came today and I am absolutely thrilled. She is beautiful!
I am so pleased. Thank you so very much for doing such fine work. I will take her to Mom tomorrow...and I will
report to you on Mom's response. What impresses me the most is that you were able to retain the integrity of the
doll...she is the same doll just all gussied up! You are a master! Peggy Flynn
Mom was thrilled
too! She was pretty worried that she would not get her old doll back...that she wouldn't recognize her. But
she did recognize her and she said that Janie was right. She just spent the month away in a beauty treatment!
