LIFE IS A JOURNEY!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely doll case! Always drawn to Mein Lieblings! She is so beautiful and the flirty eyes always get me! Your mother would be so proud of all you have done!
Dear Rachel! Wishing your beautiful Mother Diane a woman Happy Birthday in heaven in the presence of Jesus her Savior. I know the terrible pain and grief of losing a Mother. I lost my Mom the day before Mothers Day in 2003 to cancer. I held her in my arms she took her last breath. Its going to be 21 years May 10th. Though it gets excess time moves on, you never get over the loss. Thanks for this very informative video. I really learned much. I hope you continue to do these kinds of videos more often. Antique dolls to me are the most beautiful dolls ever .
My heart belongs to the antique dolls, French, German, doesn’t matter. To me it’s something I do to preserve history. Anytime you show antiques, I’m there!
happy heavenley birthday to your mom , such inspiration and a legacy , have a wonderful day and thank you for this lovely case of dolls
Rachel, you look awesome. Love looking at your little angel growing too - she is precious in that vintage dress
Happiest Birthday to your Mother!❤ Such a Beautiful way to honour her! Thank you!
What a lovely tribute to your mom. Thank you for sharing these dolls with us. They are beautiful.😊
Hello Rachel and brothers. Happy Birthday to you darling Mum. Thinking of you and praying for you all. Jane in New Zealand 🇬🇧🇳🇿
🙋♀️❤️. My goodness! Holland Diane looks so much like you at 2 years! I was sure that was her in the photo! You're both precious. Your mom must be smiling at you all❤️
Thank you so much Rachel. I love what you do and am so grateful for your efforts.
Your mum looks a kind and lovely lady, that's amazing how you still have that dress from your childhood and Holland Diane got to wear it too. You can see the family resemblance. I like your cabinet of dolls, was an interesting talk about them. Thank you Rachel
Lovable video- a nice remembrance and seeing all these beauties and the automatons up close is a pleasure. You present with such warmth and charm. Of course, do more!!!!
I thought that baby doll looked like Holland Diane as soon as I saw her.❤ Awesome video and Awesome dolls ❤👍👍
I have a feeling our mothers would have got along well together...my mother loved Christmas, but she adored Easter, and both were huge holidays in our home when I was young and growing up. My mother also loved decorating and any reason to celebrate and great work went into the decorating, preparations, the food, and so on. She also loved dolls and miniatures, like your mom. The case is beautiful and a great tribute to your mother.
Happy birthday to your beautiful mother who is surely smiling down on you. Thanks to everything she did, you were able to use technology to bring together thousands of people from all over the world into the doll shop. What you have accomplished on the foundation she built is truly special. Sending much love to you, Paul, and your older brother. ❤
I love the antique dolls.They are beautiful 🥰
I love these little tours of individual cases! Please do more...people need to be aware of this kind of history. Thank you Rachel (and Paul) for sharing these incredible little pieces of art😊🙏🏼🌹
Thank you for sharing the antique dolls. I know the bread and butter of the shop is new dolls, but I love the antique dolls and learning about them. I collect quality artist reproduction French and high end German mostly because that is what I enjoy. I do have some antique German also. My mother's birthday was April 3, and she also liked Easter because it signaled spring time. She has been gone almost 16 years now But would be 109 this week. Thanks for all your videos, as I enjoy watching all of them.
Happy Heavenly birthday to your sweet Mama! Your work is so inspiring to me Rachel!!!

I enjoy seeing and learning about antique dolls, even though I will probably never own one. I think a large part of the charm of a collectible item is not just the physical object, but the stories that go with it. So, it is great to see that Diane has passed a lot of those stories on to Rachel and inspired her to learn more for herself. We don’t all connect with our parents that way, but it is lovely if it happens.
Again an amazing and fun vídeo, love these dolls, I also have some with hair or cracks but I love to rescue and restore them, seems they are grateful and relieved! Also love your life experiences and you sharing them, you feel like a good friend. Happy birthday to your wonderful Mom ❤️🤗🌹
I enjoy your birthday celebration 🎉🎉to your Mom. Great job I never met her but I bet she is proud of her human babies as well as the doll babies she has left to them.💐
I've always loved antique dolls, even when i was 6 when i asked my Mum for a French doll. She was way out of our price range so she got me a new porcelain doll and I fell in love with her. Thankyou for sharing these beauties. It's a dream of mine to have some eventually. The ohoto of you and Holland Dianne next to each other are nearly almost identical. Thankyou Rachel and Happy Birthday to your Mum ❤️❤️
wishing your mother a heavenly birthday 😇❤️im sure she is watching over you & all the wonderful things you are doing loved the tour of your cabinet

What a beautiful collection of dolls. Antique bisque has been my favorite for years. Even though they are all lovely, I would say my favorite was the Handwerck on the bottom shelf. And of course, Shirley. Happy Heavenly birthday to your mother. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for this video. Even though I don’t own any, I have come to appreciate and be interested in antique dolls through your videos, as well as those by Michael and David, and Theriaults. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Miss Diane! (And yes Rachel, I could totally see you as a New Yorker)
Happy Heavenly birthday to your beautiful Mother, Diane ❤ You have a true treasure trove of wonderful items in your shop 🥰 Definitely a treat for anyone who loves antiques and dolls too! Hope to visit one day if I can ❤

Lovely video; the lamb is so cute!
I love dolls too!❤ hope your mom had a good birthday!!! I like Monster High dolls. I'm an autistic male but I'm very caring.
Happy Birthday to your beautiful Mom, Diane. I really enjoyed this sweet video and loved seeing the antique dolls up close. The picture of you and Holland Diane in that antique dress is so sweet. I loved seeing that crying baby doll that looked like her too. I actually have a baby doll as well that looks identical to my son as a baby. They are precious. As always I am looking forward to everything you have coming up. Sending love and hugs to your family and Happy Easter! 💐🐰🥰
Very sweet video on this very special day. Beautiful antique dolls, with such sweet faces. I love the French doll, that is actuality German. Beautiful outfit, and gorgeous face. The same photo decades later, of your daughter is so fun. You look so much alike, that we might see more in the future. We love it and I'm sure Holland Diane will enjoy those very much when she'll be bigger. ❤

What a lovely way to celebrate your mom's special day! Also the photos of you and Holland Diane are incredible. A very strong resemblance, I say! I know you all still hurt and grieve , but also you have been brave and strong! Thank you for sharing wonderful moments like this with all of us.
I loved seeing your two-year-old picture and Holland Diane's picture. She looks so much like you did at that age - both so adorable! Thank you for sharing your antique doll case and your mother's birthday with us! This is a beautiful video!
Holland Diane looks just like you at that age!!
enjoyable and valuable

Thank you!
DEP is also Deponirt in German. Just like Déposé, it means, literally, “deposited,” as in deposited/entered in a registry, or, perhaps, patented.
It's definitely already spring in southern utah. lol, my allergies have made that clear. We are getting ready to head north. Hopefully, the weather allows us to leave tomorrow. It's been very wet and rainy, and the dirt/sand/clay road we have to take is far too slick.

Could be the Dep is the first sfbj has painted lashes or second if it doesn't have painted on leashes
Hello Rachel where are you located
