[@juliansync4159]

Rachel, I am so glad that you brought Christopher to your team - he is a delight and sooo passionate about dolls. I remember how sad you were when two important people on our team retired , but life goes on and with your passion and love for dolls you drew new people to our circle. So glad to see both of you in every new video. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@benediktehoffkjeldsen6801]

I really agree 👍 - and happy Thanksgiving to everyone 💟🙂

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

It's truly heartwarming to receive such positive feedback. Christopher's passion for dolls and his contribution to the team have indeed been a delight. Change is a natural part of any journey, and while it was bittersweet to see beloved members move on, it's also been a joy to welcome new energy and ideas into our circle. Your support and kind words as we introduce new faces in our videos mean everything. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving filled with warmth and cherished moments!

[@RobinGH]

I'm completely, utterly charmed!

[@elainewhite1780]

What a fun box! While i wasn't fast enough to get in on the first round of Ellowyne boxes, i hope to be one of the lucky additions later. The crinolines would be a lovely addon or mixnmatch accessory in the future. For Grace as well.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

We're thrilled you enjoyed the box reveal! Missing the first round of Ellowyne boxes just means there's something exciting to look forward to. We absolutely agree, crinolines would make an excellent addition for both Ellowyne and Grace dolls. Thank you for the suggestion and for being such an enthusiastic member of our community!

[@CherylAnnRose]

I love this month! Love! Love! Love! Thank you!

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you're loving this month's offerings! It's such a joy to create things that resonate with our community. Thank you for being an enthusiastic and cherished part of it. Enjoy all the doll magic this month brings!

[@deborahrochefort9794]

So very charming and warm! I loved the play of festive dolls and real feasting - reminds me of Tasha Tudor's 'The Doll's Christmas' which I have never stopped loving since childhood. (and I do think the inclusion of a real tiny pie in the box is absolutely delightful)

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's truly special to hear that our festive dolls and the touch of real feasting bring to mind such cherished memories of Tasha Tudor's 'The Doll's Christmas.' That timeless magic of blending doll celebrations with real-life warmth is something we aim to capture with our collections. Knowing that the little pie has brought delight to your experience fills us with joy. It's those little details that can turn a simple unboxing into a moment of pure enchantment, connecting us to the whimsical wonder we felt in childhood. We hope to continue bringing that sense of nostalgia and charm to all our future boxes. Warm regards and happy collecting!

[@luv3pugs]

I'm dying here, the aprons are gorgeous!! Love them!!

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

We're thrilled to hear you love the aprons as much as we do! Creating these special touches is a joy, and it's so rewarding to know they've caught your eye in such a positive way. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm!

[@Ms.Dollfit]

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

We're delighted to hear that you enjoy our content! Christopher and I have a great time creating it, and it's wonderful to know it brings joy to others. Thank you for being a part of our community!

[@jennil7797]

Oh, I love it! I'm just old enough to remember my mother's elegance in the 50s and early 60s. I have never had her flair...or her tiny waist! Miss Prudence Moody and I are trying not to be jealous over the aprons! Aren't they fabulous? Happy holiday season to all in the US!

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

We're so glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back fond memories of your mother's elegance! Those times were certainly filled with a unique style that still captivates us today. And we agree, the aprons are fabulous! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season too!

[@andelbee]

This was a great box, and including the pie was inspired! I’m so glad you took the chance. Mine arrived in good shape and was delicious, and for this child of the 50s, the whole thing felt like a happy trip back in time, and a little private party for me and the girls. Thank you for the fun!

[@lisaakinlabi]

Those are amazing dolls and outfits! I wish I knew about them years ago. It must be amazing for collectors of this doll line to be surrounded by those beauties. BTW love that you both have attention to detail - alway fun seeing things in your boxes and the set ups.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

It's never too late to join in the fun and start collecting! We're so glad you've discovered our dolls and outfits. It truly is a joy for collectors to be surrounded by such beauty and to find others who share their passion. We put a lot of heart into the details because we know it's those little things that can make the biggest impact. Your appreciation for the care we put into our boxes and setups means the world to us. We hope to continue bringing that sense of wonder and excitement to your collecting experience. Thank you for your kind words and welcome to the family of collectors!

[@dollplexus74]

love love love for the doll community, hope to be there one day.

[@dolliesminituresandcollect7663]

1950s fashion always intrigued me especially the womans formal wear. They defiantly knew how to host a get together during that time.

[@galeholt3757]

What a marvelous display. I love the retro theme. The aprons are adorable. I can remember getting old enough to use my Momsewing macine and making aprons. I love the white shoes...Grace needs them too. My Mother had lots of shoes with matching purses. She wore earrings every where but the shower. I am out of ink in my copier...so down loading will hav÷ to wait until this evening. I grew up during the 50s. I had a circle skirt with a crocheted Christmas tree with little balls on it....and crinoline. I have a 1940s nightgown and negligee of my Mother's. I want to adapt it for Grace and others. My Ellowyne is an older redhead. Stay well and safe. Christopher did a good job. My oldest son was Christopher.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Thank you for sharing your lovely memories! It sounds like you have a deep appreciation for retro fashion, influenced by the style of the '50s and your mother's elegance. Adapting your mother's 1940s nightgown and negligee for Grace and others would be such a meaningful project. It's clear that fashion and family traditions have a special place in your heart. And thanks for the shoutout to Christopher; it's always great to hear that his work is appreciated. Stay inspired, and we hope you get that ink for your copier soon!

[@braynroquero2918]

Stunning styles and inspiring

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Thank you so much!

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

It's such a pleasure to be a part of your life through our shared love of dolls! Your enthusiasm and support brighten our community and make all the work we do even more rewarding. We're equally grateful for you and look forward to many more moments of joy and connection. Thank you for your lovely message!

[@bestrnlynzeep]

FINALLY getting back to this delightful video. Love the Friendsgiving Holiday table. Have you guys ever thought of doing a "how to make fake doll sized food" class during the VDC? Maybe you have done this already or maybe another "in house" get together/class could be in the works? Hugs to you all as ALWAYS! And lots of love too.

[@froggirl1376]

Once again another amazing video. The attention put into every detail is so wonderful. I love the fact that by being doll collectors yourselves you take the time and ask yourselves what would like to have for my dolls. You make doll collecting fun and light and airy it’s okay to play with your dolls it doesn’t have to be so serious. Christopher wonderful job on the table that was stunning the whole story came to life. It was very inviting I felt like I was sitting at that Friendsgiving table. My suggestion of a upcoming box would be music themed it seemed like this summer was about Barbie and the Eras tour but as far as I’m concerned it’s always about Barbie but that’s just my love. Back to the back to the box the girls are going to the concert.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

We're over the moon that you enjoyed the video and noticed the love and care we pour into each detail! It's our joy to foster an atmosphere where doll collectors like us can celebrate and play without reservations-dolls are a source of happiness and creativity, after all. And Christopher will be thrilled to hear your praise for the table; it truly brought our Friendsgiving to life. Your music-themed box suggestion strikes a chord with us, and the idea of the girls heading to a concert could harmonize beautifully with our lineup. Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for being a part of our doll-loving community!

[@junedizer827]

I remember all of this!

[@historybuff7491]

I like when a fahion is strongly inspired by historical/throw-back styles. When it is done well, it is usually great. I think this was done well. BTW your pronunciation of haute is different from Indiana. That is fine. It made a nice connection to "hot".

[@myopinion4600]

Yes, it’s French. Should be pronounced “oat”. Looking for the comment…..it’s ok of course 😊

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

We're so glad you enjoyed the fashion inspired by historical and throwback styles. Fashion history has such a rich tapestry to pull inspiration from, and it's always a delight when it resonates with our community. And as for the pronunciation of "haute," that was intentional - she is a HOT/HAUTE hostess. We love that it sparked a nice connection for you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[@luv3pugs]

I'm a tomato lover!! That looks divine!!

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

So glad to hear you're a tomato lover! There's something so satisfying about a well-crafted dish that showcases the natural flavors of fresh tomatoes. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm; it's food lovers like you that make our community so special!

[@TammyPowley]

Now I want some pie 😂 Seriously beautiful Ellowyne outfit, classic! 👍👏

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

I'm glad our little touch of whimsy has sparked your appetite for pie, as well as your appreciation for the Ellowyne outfit! It's wonderful to hear that the classic style resonates with you. There's something truly timeless about a beautifully crafted outfit that can bring such joy. Whether it's pie or dolls, it's all about savoring the sweet things in life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I hope you continue to find delight in every detail! Enjoy the beauty of doll collecting, and maybe treat yourself to a slice of pie too!

[@irenehough4441]

I love heirloom tomatoes, and that one looks marvelous. ❤

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

It was! I had it on sourdough with cream cheese and basil!

[@irenehough4441]

That sounds wonderful.

[@shannon9066]

Hello, I have my mothers Raggedy Ann and Andy and was thinking of putting new material into the doll, but I see that it best to leave them intact even when old- I washed Raggedy years ago but her legs disintegrated. Do I remake them or not?

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

It's a personal choice when it comes to repairing or preserving old dolls like Raggedy Ann and Andy. Some collectors prefer to keep them intact for their vintage charm, while others choose to make necessary repairs to enjoy them for years to come. Ultimately, it depends on your preference and the sentimental value attached to them.

How about some more pets for them. A cat and another breed of dog. France does need glases

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

That's a fantastic idea! Pets really add a special touch to any doll collection, and different breeds of dogs or a cat would be wonderful additions. And you're right, some cute glasses for France could be a charming accessory. Thanks for your suggestions, and stay tuned to see what we come up with!
