Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

Rachel, No worries about how many videos you do or do not make. What matters is your health and your Unborn Baby's health:)!! I am praying for you, wishing you all the best, and I am very happy for you:)!! And I do understand what you mean by things being difficult and then you think everything will be difficult. My Late Dad also had Alzheimer's Disease and it is devastating to everyone. My Mom had Ovarian Cancer which was very scary, but my Mom is now an 18 year Ovarian Cancer survivor, which I am grateful for:)!! Rachel, I do believe in an Afterlife and I think your Mom in Heaven is so happy for you, being a first time Mom to be and is so pleased to see all the good hard work you do:)!!! As for this video, I so LOVED the eyes on the Kestner 102 German Doll:)!! However, I do LOVE that large French FG Doll too:)!! I so LOVE that mother of pearl broach too:)!! And I am beginning to learn that the French antique dolls have those fine painted eyelashes and fine painted eye brows:)!! And I hope that Linda's Granddaughter and her Mom ( being 103 soon, WOW!!) will have the happiest Birthday ever:)!!! ! And Rachel, no worries about the tears, as far as I am concerned, you can express anything you want to:)!! Thank you for sharing your Doll Store, Linda 's magic, and thank you for sharing all that is going on in your life:)!!!! Rachel, you are going to be a good Mom:)!!! And think of all the beautiful Dolls and adorable Teddy Bears as well as those super Steiff Reindeer that your first Child will be blessed to enjoy:)!!!!

I had a great mom too! - One day when I needed her a lot and before the thought of “wow I sure wish Mom were here!” - I suddenly felt her warmth and comfort throughout my body (I’m a lot like my mom was - 🤗). It was so calming and I felt so opposite of being sad!! - different thing to explain, yet so natural and couldn’t have happened at a better time! - 🤗 At this time I realized that mom not being here doesn’t feel so final! My heartstrings were strummed so much, like a well tuned violin, that I knew God comforted me in a way for me to realize that Mom and I are closer now than ever!! - 🤗🤗 ❤️

Hi from Spain, Rachel. I adore watching your videos. You are always full of energy and positive feelings. This video has been very beautiful and moving. Congratulations on your pregnancy. All the best!!!

Hi Rachel, I love these dolls that you and Linda showed in the video, they are both so beautiful!!! I can't wait to see them cleaned, they are both in really good shape it seems. The small one is so adorable, they are both beautiful in their own ways. I have a few dolls that have a few imperfections, but I love them all the more, they just needed a loving home. You will give these beautiful and gorgeous dolls a wonderful and loving home Rachel. I also want to send you congratulations on the baby. Thats such wonderful and amazing news, you all will be the best parents ever. I'm so happy for you all. Have a wonderful, beautiful and amazing day at the doll shop and I'm sending hugs and love to you all from me.🤗💖🤗💖🤗💖🤗💖🤗

I kinda love your very personal vlogging style. And I love that you vented at the end. I really wish I could do that, period. If you need to open a patreon, do it. You might not make a whole lot, but at least you know you have people who care enough to support like that. Or, are interested enough in the craft and what you have to say

I love both of the dolls, they are beautiful! I would love to have some like these! As yet I don't own an antique bisque doll; just several composition dolls, a few celluloid, several hard plastic and vinyl/plastic from the 50's and 60's.

Congratulations Rachel..so happy for you

A kestner 102 9 inch all original with her earrings just sold today in Alaska for 1,050.00. I wanted her so bad and I know her book value is 4,000. She had her original blond wig too. I found her on hibids auction sight. She had two upper front teeth and her boots were not the same color as yours.

congrats for the baby, tell us soon boy or girl

I have two of the larger German dolls with the composite body. They were an inheritance from grandma. The composite body on one is in great condition, but the other one is damaged around the leg holes. Is there a way to repair them? I am not concerned about resale value. They've been in the family for three generations so far and I'm not intending to sell.

hi i have a doll i dont know this a old dolls. where i can sent the picture so we can contact each one

So can someone please explain what the difference between bisque and porcelain dolls? I heard it was the temperature it was cooked at but how can you tell if a doll is bisque or porcelain?

@RachelHoffmanDolls

3 жыл бұрын

They’re basically the same thing because they’re all made out of the same materials but there’s differences in the glaze which creates the final product. Here’s a handy article: www.thesprucecrafts.com/bisque-and-porcelain-dolls-774692

Hi Someone know witch is the product used to clean the doll? I searched in the store but I didn't find it. Thanks
