For some reason, your videos bring me relaxation and peace for a while. Thank you

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

I'm thrilled to hear that the videos provide you with a sense of relaxation and peace. Knowing that they bring comfort to people like you is truly the best reward. Thanks for letting me know! 😊

[@Voirreydirector]

Oh yes, I am facing surgery tomorrow, and this is a place I come to when stressed.

[@folklodoll4780]

Vous apportez du rêve ! Les décors de votre « caverne d’Ali Baba » sont enchanteurs. Il y règne une ambiance propice à la détente et j’adore les poupées. Je ne m’en lasse pas. Salutations à Holland. Une française , collectionneur.

[@anniemiller7386]

You're so beautiful inside and out Rachel. I really enjoyed seeing the different dolls. Thanks so much for all you do.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

You're incredibly kind and generous with your words! Thank you so much for your heartwarming compliment. 😊💕 It's my pleasure to share the joy of dolls with you, and I truly appreciate your support. If you ever have more questions or just want to chat about dolls, I'm here for you. Have a wonderful day filled with doll magic! 🌟😊

[@connieshepherd-lw9jo]

I have a special place in my heart for Raggedy Ann and Andy. In the 70's, my granny had never worked outside the home so to make money for social security. A state sponsored program where they had people to make things to put in stores across the state. My granny was asked to make Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. Of course she made me 2. I still have them. Nice Memories

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

What a heartwarming story, and what special Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls those must be, handmade by your granny. Keepsakes like those are truly priceless. Thank you for sharing this lovely memory with us. ❤️

[@jennil7797]

Being a doll and bear person is a solitary interest here in Wales. I think I am the sole remaining member of the species! So, your videos and those of a few others, such as 'The Uncles' of Carmel Doll Shop, are a huge treat for me. It is great to see you back This has been a particularly exciting peek into the shop. LOVE the Cissy dolls. and the American Character in black and red,what a face! The Kathe Kruse doll you bought through Theriaults' from Jonathan's collection is a delight too. So glad you got her! I was very fond of Jonathan, miss him and treasure the little items I bought from him, the photo of him and little crocheted raggedies you sold in his memory.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

It's so wonderful to hear that the videos serve as a source of connection and enjoyment for you, especially when being a doll and bear enthusiast feels like a solitary interest in your area. Jonathan was indeed a treasure in the doll community, and I'm glad to hear you have fond memories and keepsakes from him. Your attention to detail, like noting the Cissy dolls and the American Character in black and red, shows how passionate you are about the hobby. Thank you for being part of this global community of collectors and enthusiasts! 😊

[@mcjudy2000]

I, also, have a special place in my heart for Jonathan Green. I bought 2 Edith Flack Ackley dolls from him - one from his VDC shop and one that he contacted me about directly (what a thrill!). When the Theriault's auction came up, I intended to buy another EFA doll, but Instead, won a Series 1 Kathe Kruse - Item 32 with a print smock and gold knee pants, along with one of the large bentwood boxes. Your Kathe Kruse doll is lovely, and isn't it a wonderful feeling to know that it came from a very special collection. Thanks for the video! It is always so lovely to hear what's going on at the shop.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Thank you for sharing your own connection to Jonathan Green! How special to have Edith Flack Ackley dolls with such a personal story. Winning a Series 1 Kathe Kruse must have been thrilling! Knowing the provenance behind a doll really does add an extra layer of sentiment. I'm glad you're enjoying the updates from the shop, and we appreciate you taking the time to connect with us. Cheers to more special doll adventures! 🌸

[@mirzacolina6407]

Thank you so much Rachel , you are such a beautiful soul and an amazing Daughter. I just love watching all your videos showing us so much fun stuff to learn and you sharing your life. May God continue bless you forever and he will.

[@arlenekase4605]

Loved your variety of dolls shared on this video and always enjoy your spontaneous hops from one topic to another just like we all do in actual conversation with doll friends in person. There is never enough time to share. You have always made your viewers your friends and THEY ARE! It doesn't get better than that❤.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and the conversational style! It's true, there's never enough time to talk about all the things we love in the doll world. Your kind words mean a lot; making viewers feel like friends is exactly what we aim for. Thanks for being a part of our friendly, doll-loving community! ❤️

[@maureenbright5432]

Thank you for everything you do beloved Queen! My wonderful father died last year on December 12. You are absolutely right about loss. It is a different world now and I haven't much wanted to be on social media. However, The Realm of Doll is such a solace for me and I don't think that will ever change. Thank you for the courage and inspiration you ALWAYS shine forth. I DON'T HAVE A SHIRLEY TEMPLE DOLL! Even though I love Bernard Lipfert designed dolls SO MUCH!

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Loss indeed changes our world in profound ways. I'm grateful to know that The Realm of Doll brings you comfort. Thank you for your uplifting words and for being a cherished part of our community.

[@jzaesk25]

Oh Rachel, I just love your videos. Thank you for sharing the transparent, behind-the-scenes of doll collecting as in; what things cost! I had only purchased dolls on eBay until a year ago when I took the plunge and did an online auction with Theriault's and was thrilled to win a doll. Why is it we love dolls so much? You help me feel 'normal' because I love them too. The way you look at your new purchases and fluff their clothes speaks to your love and enthusiasm for doll collecting. I am SO glad you got the Doll I from Jonathan's collection, she is so adorable.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Thank you for your heartwarming comment! It's wonderful to hear that you're enjoying the behind-the-scenes content and that you had a great experience with your first online auction. 🌟 Doll love is a special kind of magic, isn't it? I'm thrilled to have you in our community of doll enthusiasts. 💕

[@lisaakinlabi]

I collected a lot of different dolls before I realized my heart was with Barbie, but I did had a lovely Shirley Temple. I liked her a lot but alas she was trade for Barbie clothes. I keep thinking I should of kept her. I loved Raggedy Ann because she was fun to wash her clothes and put them on the pretend ironing board - well just play house with her. I still have one. Rachel I just wanted to give you a hug when you talked of your parents. I cared for both my parents for just over 25 years so I know the efforts it takes to do that. Well I enjoyed your chat today. Have a great rest of the week.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

It's so wonderful to hear about your doll collecting journey, from Shirley Temple to Barbie and Raggedy Ann! 😊💕 It's natural to reminisce about the dolls we once had, and I appreciate your kind words about my parents. Your caring spirit shines through your own experiences. Thank you for spending time chatting today, and I hope you have a fantastic rest of the week too! 🌟😊

[@s.f.8867]

I like the smaller Shirley doll very much even with her eyes.

[@bestrnlynzeep]

I always have a tough time waiting until the end of the video to comment on how much I appreciate what you share and this one is no exception. By sharing your thoughts and feelings about your Mom, your family and daily work life your friends out in "KZbin Land" feel a sense of belonging and comradery. One of these days I'll have to travel back over the mountain to see your new beautiful Shirley Temples and get eye make up tips from you and Christopher. You both always look awesome! November is a great month for H.D.'s birthday. I was born on November 2 which is probably why Halloween was always my favorite holiday. And for the record....I LOVE candy corn...but only Brachs. Delightful to see your own youthful doll making skills too. Quite the professional crochet doll artist at such a young age. With regards to parenthood? I have four kids; two girls and two boys. My oldest is 31 and youngest 22. I have found every age to be wonderful though some more challenging as a parent than others. I am thrilled to have adult kids now and we continue to have awesome relationships. Hello and hugs to all! Thanks Rachel.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Thank you for the kind words and for sharing a bit of your life with us! Isn't November a magical month? Happy early birthday! 🎉 Perfect timing because we sent you a gift in your last Ellowyne order! It's lovely to hear that you've had such a rewarding journey through parenthood; it gives hope to us all. Candy corn, especially Brach's, definitely has its fans. 😉 Sounds like you have a lot of love and wisdom to share, just like the dolls you admire. Thanks for being part of our community and taking the time to leave such a thoughtful comment. Can't wait to welcome you back over the mountain someday! 🌼

[@MyStitchinDolliverse]

Raggedy Ann is one of my favorites too. I had the full Raggedy Ann bedroom as a kid 🥰

[@user-qk5bd6wi4u]

You & your mother have a Special place in my heart as well.😍

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

I'm truly touched that you felt the love I have for my mom, Holland Diane, and Jonathan. Sharing those personal moments means a lot to me, and knowing that it resonates with you makes it even more special. Thank you for sending love and for being a part of our community.

[@jamesfournier3458]

I've been a doll collector most of my life. As a child in England, I would save up my allowance and go to the village toy shop and buy dolls. At the time I liked the historical doll, Nesbit etc. Now in my older years, I have antique, artist, fashion,ooak, and any doll that I just have to have. I don't know if it's their faces, costumes or just nostalgia but they do give me pleasure. Some of my relations don't understand it and one said, "You're over compensating for lack of children." But as a creative person, I like to do costumes and repair dolls and bring them back to their former glory. It's fun! Audie

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Audie, it sounds like you have a beautifully diverse collection that brings you true joy. I love that you've carried this passion from your childhood in England all the way through to now. Restoring dolls and giving them a new lease on life is a wonderful creative outlet. Don't let anyone's misunderstanding dim your enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your story and for being a special part of our doll-loving community!

[@pamelamorgan2866]

I am so sorry your loved ones suffered from COVID ♥

[@melsmith5833]

Oh, hello my dear friend! I always feel that we are connected, if only through the videos, due to our love of dolls and family and great people that we have encountered. I love the raggedy's too, always looking for the old ones. I do have 3 or 4 Georgenes that I have found in antique stores. I have SO many dolls that I will be downsizing a bit due to space, but there are some I could never part with! I have one Shirley Temple from the 30's, I think she's 18-20 inches. She was given to me by a dear friend I used to work with and the doll had belonged to her mother, I like your Grace collection and one day will get some. I think all the things you have going at the doll shop are incredible. It's like a magical world inside of a real world. Congratulations on your sweetie turning 2 soon! My grand daughters are 5 1/2 and 3, it's wonderful having little ones in your life! Always thinking of you all down there and keeping you in prayers. ♥

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Hello, dear friend! It's always wonderful to hear from you. Your love for dolls and the special pieces you have, like that vintage Shirley Temple, is truly inspiring. Thank you for your kind words about our doll shop. We appreciate your support and thoughts. 💕

[@dolliesminituresandcollect7663]

Those mini raggedy Ann and Andy r adorable, thanks for sharing and the up date. My grandma passed from complications due to MS, it is hard to watch someone U luv slowly but quickly deteriorate like that.

[@wantingoneangel8976]

Rachel, I so LOVE those Raggedy Ann Dolls❤❤, Connie Tognoli Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy Mini Dolls, Cissy Dolls💖💖, American Character Doll💖💖 and Shirley Temple Dolls❤❤ the best💯💯💯💯💯💯💯!!! I so LOVE the Volland and the Georgene Dolls the best, but I never had either one of them, but my Late Dad bought me a Knickerbocker Raggedy Andy when I was 6 years old and I still have him❤❤❤❤❤!!! However, my Raggedy Andy is very well loved and in need of repair. I so LOVE your Georgene Doll asleep\awake Doll❤❤❤❤❤!!! And I so LOVE the artistry of Connie Tognoli's Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy Mini Dolls because they look traditional and just so cute🤗🤗❤❤❤❤❤!! And I so LOVE the 2nd Sissy Doll the best with the lace top and pink sash on her gown and I so LOVE her gloves too💖💖💖💖💖!!! And that American Character Doll with her black top, hot pink gown length skirt, and matching hot pink shawl with flowers in her hair💖💖💖💖💖!!! And although I LOVE both Shirley Temple Dolls, my favorite is the Shirley Temple Doll with the music note dress, despite that her eyes are clouded, she just speaks to me🤗🤗❤❤❤❤❤!!! And I so understand how you feel about the passing of Johnathan Green because he was so down to earth and so smart at the same time. He even liked my comments and I am not as educated as he, but he just seemed so nice. I so agree with you that, "Johnathan Green never made anyone feel small" and that is beautiful!!! And it is the one year anniversary since my Boyfriend's Niece who was kind, down to earth, and a very successful Veterinarian committed suicide, so I so feel how deeply sad it is🖤🌹. And from my personal experience with Alzheimer's Disease, my heart goes out to you as well🌹🌹. My Late Dad had Alzheimer's Disease and it was very hard to deal with and painful to see my Late Dad not know my name and wonder if my Mom was "his Mom or his wife". And my Late Grandfather on my Mom's side of the Family affectionately known as Pop-Pop also had Alzheimer's Disease🌹🌹, but he loved to collect things both as someone with Alzheimer's Disease and even when he was younger. My Late Grandfather "Pop-Pop" got me into Dolls because he bought me a lot of Dolls as presents when he was well before the Alzheimer's Disease 🤗🤗❤❤🌹🌹!! I would be writing a book if I went into how hard it was to see my Late Grandfather and my Late Dad suffer and decline with Alzheimer's Disease, but it is an awful Disease is an understatement and so hard on the Family. And I so agree that dealing with someone who has Alzheimer's prepares you for Motherhood because it takes a super amounts of patience. However, Rachel, I think your Mom was a really special🍫🧸 and kind person🌹🌺🌻🧸, so I think those qualities in her helped to make you a wonderful Mom💛💛💛💛💛, even more than the Alzheimer's Disease!!! Rachel, Thank you so much for sharing your story about Johnathan Green🌹🌹 💛💛and your Mom🧸🧸💛💛🌹🌹 and Thank you for sharing your beautiful Dolls!! And I also LOVE Johnathan Green's Katie Kruse Doll in this video too❤❤❤❤❤!!!

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experiences and your deep love for dolls with me. I truly appreciate the details and the memories you've shared. It's stories like yours that emphasize how dolls are not just toys; they hold memories, sentiments, and comfort for so many of us. I'm genuinely touched to hear about your Knickerbocker Raggedy Andy and the special connection you have with him. It's evident that he holds a special place in your heart. 💖

[@piadeleuran5396]

Dear Rachel, I think you are such a strong person, you have taken loving care of your mother, I have a cousin and a mother-in-law who has Alzheimer's. They live in nursing homes where they receive the best care. My husband and I visit them once a week, although it is difficult to find time for it as a self-employed person. We love them and we feel it's hard for them to disappear before our eyes, even though they're still alive. Love Pia ❤

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Your words truly touch my heart. Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's is an emotional and challenging journey, and I deeply admire your commitment to your cousin and mother-in-law. The love and compassion you and your husband show by visiting them weekly, despite your busy lives, is nothing short of extraordinary. It's a difficult experience to watch someone you love change in this way, and your dedication is a testament to the depth of your love. Thank you for sharing your story and for being part of our community.

Always a pleasure to hear how your life is going...as you have said, we all go through life, good and bad and everything in between. FYI hour blonde Cissy is wearing a Revlon brocade Queen of Diamonds dress and petticoat in lovely condition. I enjoyed your tribute to Jonathan, and the lovely Shirley Temple dolls. I myself like the 1950s Ideal vinyl Shirleys, and and have a small collection of those, mostly the 12" size. My favorite dolls are the 1950s hard plastic and vinyl dolls (AC Toni with flirty eyes, original gown from about 1958). Gowned AC is also Toni in American Beauty gown.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

It's always a pleasure to share our journeys through life, and it's wonderful to hear about your collection of dolls, especially the 1950s Ideal vinyl Shirleys and AC Toni dolls - they sound absolutely charming!

[@joymontague251]

Thank you. You covered a lot of ground and it is good to hear what is going on with you. I have my first doll table ever at our Doll Show sale at the beginning of November and am in the process of joining our local doll group. I met with the group for the first time last Saturday and it was so wonderful (first we had lunch but then) to talk and share nothing but dolls for 2 hours. Some of the ladies will go to the yearly National doll convention? in, I think Kansas (or Kentucky?) Thanks again.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

That's fantastic to hear about your first doll table and joining your local doll group! There's something truly special about gathering with fellow enthusiasts to talk all things dolls. 😊 Best of luck with your table at the Doll Show in November, and how exciting about the National doll convention-either in Kansas or Kentucky, it's bound to be a wonderful experience. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

I love dolls and recently met our new neighbor. I told her I was a doll collector and told her when she comes over I would show them to her. She replied "Dolls give me the creeps"😂😂

[@myopinion4600]

Nobody ever said that before “Chucky” the movie. It’s nonsense. There are creepy dolls. You see a lot around Halloween. Just tell her that’s not the type you collect.

[@bettyboop4263]

The American Character doll is a Sweet Sue. It is wonderful to find them dressed in original clothes ❤

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Haha, oh no! Dolls aren't everyone's cup of tea, but that's okay. Different strokes for different folks! Maybe one day she'll come around to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship that goes into each one. For now, it sounds like a doll viewing might be off the table for neighborly visits! 😂 Thanks for sharing that funny moment with us! 🌸

I adore Raggedy Ann and Andy too.My childhood Raggedy Ann has been lost over the years. I still have Raggedy.Ann and the Golden Butterly from my 8th birthday. My daughter's and granddaughters have had these dolls also..Randy was 5 when I got him the Raggedy Andy storybook. My Raggedy.Ann and Andy were made by my mother when I was 8. I enjoyed this video so much. The last video of Holland Diane and her Grandfather was so cute..Mme. Alexander's are another favorite. I hope Grace gets eyeglasses. Stay well and safe.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

So much I love and collect in this video. I bought a Sleep/wake with blue hair. I was so excited to have him. It was actually Jonathan that told me someone along the way added the blue yarn hair lol I still have him.

You are much appreciated Rachel! ❤️

Thanks to Jonathan green I got more into raggedy Ann, they are pretty weird in my country and I'm half sure they never were released or weren't popular After a year of wanting one I got a raggedy Andy at the flea market, yay The guy who sold it told me there was an ann but somebody took her before me, pretty sad that they got separated but at least I got one. Rest in peace Jonathan green,you will be missed.

The Bride type do is a Toni, I think, and the other is a Sweet Sue Sophisticate, I think. Beautiful dolls all.

[@elizabethrennick9407]

Hi Rachel I am from Belfast in Northern Ireland your doll s are. Beautiful

[@mooncakerabbithender7203]

Dear Rachel I love your beautiful soul so much. I want to listen to you all day. My bridesmaid played the young Marcella in the Raggedy Ann movie. I did enquire what happened to the Raggedy Ann props without any luck ha!!! that sweet doll will always take a special place in any collection. I was at my mothers house a few weeks ago looking for my old Raggedy Ann I finely found her looking like a flat pancake in the case of things ,being squashed for 30 years yet she still was smiling at me !!!The Shirley dolls are splendid in such lovely condition I wonder could the eyes ever be change on them, If linda was there she would know . I miss seeing Uncle Stanley .and Linda who have taught me so much But yes life moves foreword and we have to climb on board and hold tight. and hopeful we grow and enjoy the roads we travel. along. Rachel your wonderful words of encouragement and your wisdom on life is utterly a blessing. Long may the turn of the century shop remain forever and forever. Sending my love and best wishes always and thank you for being you. Love Lind in cold London UK xxxx

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Oh Lind, your message is a ray of sunshine! How amazing that your bridesmaid played young Marcella in the Raggedy Ann movie-that's a wonderful connection to have. I can just imagine the joy of finding your old Raggedy Ann still smiling back at you after all these years; that's the power of a well-loved doll. As for changing the eyes on the Shirley dolls, I'd definitely consult an expert like Linda for something that specific. Life is indeed a journey, and I'm so happy that we can travel it together through our shared love for dolls. Thank you for your warm wishes, and sending lots of love back to you from across the pond! Stay cozy in chilly London! 🌸

[@mooncakerabbithender7203]

Thank you Rachel I was thinking of Diane Holland at school made me smile That little ray of sunshine is growing fast and we all know she has the best mummy and daddy any little girl could want. xxxxx

You too!! Thank you so much for tuning in!!

[@julieking5151]

Awww the little Kathe Kruse with the crocheted dress is so adorable! I watched Theriaults videos on Jonathan’s collection and I was a bit distressed with how they pronounced “Kathe Kruse” like “Kathy Cruise” and I remember Jonathan’s efforts to help folks pronounce her name correctly. So I commented on their video about it, I don’t know if anyone ever read it lol. Loved seeing your new additions and I will be watching for that “Doll Estate Sale!!” 🤩🤩🤩🤩👍

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Oh, I completely agree! The little Kathe Kruse doll in the crocheted dress is absolutely adorable. 😍 It's great that you pointed out the correct pronunciation of "Kathe Kruse." Jonathan's passion for dolls and his dedication to sharing knowledge is truly inspiring. Thank you for watching our new additions, and we can't wait to share more about the "Doll Estate Sale" with you! 🏡🌟 Stay tuned! 😊👍

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Raggedy Ann and Andy stories are such cherished memories for many of us. As for the Shirley Temple dolls, they were originally made in composition and are indeed lovely. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your own beautiful memories! 🌹

Hello Ms. Rachel! I’m not sure if you will buy a modern made Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls…but those that made by R. John Wright dolls are very sweet and nice and well made…just sharing…the video is somehow quite poignant…job well done! God bless! Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭!

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on the R. John Wright Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. They do have a certain magic, don't they? Your kind words about the video mean a lot, and it's amazing to hear from someone all the way from the Philippines! Your greetings bring warmth to our doll-loving community. God bless!

Sweet Sue

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Hi Rachel. We have missed you too! Thank you so much for your heartfelt update. My Grandfather had Altzeimers and my Granna was his caregiver for so many years. My Mum and I took turns visiting him to give her breaks. It is so sad to see your loved one slip away. I am so grateful for the memories as I know you are too. I love your newest Shirley Temple dolls! The tiny Raggedy Ann and Andy are so sweet. My sister and I received Knickerbocker Raggedy Ann dolls for Christmas when we were little girls. They were such a comfort for us when our parents were going through divorce. Dolls are truly my safe place. Thank you for sharing your heart. ❤

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experiences with caregiving and the comfort dolls have provided. It means a lot to hear how special these little treasures are to you. 💖

[@miadarnell1322]

Your mom sounds like an angel. You were lucky to have her. And she was lucky to have you. God bless.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. My mom, Diane, was indeed a remarkable woman, and I feel so fortunate to have been her daughter. It's an honor to continue the legacy she left behind, especially with such a supportive and wonderful community surrounding us. God bless you too, and thank you for being a part of our journey.

[@Voirreydirector]

Yes, oh yes, I think she was. Back in the day I knew an elderly Ukrainian woman who visited family in her city. While family members were working one day she spent most of a day talking the dear lady’s ear off about Ukrainian dolls. She even helped dust! It was the highlight of her visit.

Years ago we fixed Shirley Temple eyes by rubbing on sewing machine oil...then laying her face down while it dries. Worked well. May have to be redone a few years later.

Beautiful, but I love the American Character Toni the best. I always loved the American Beauty gown. I have the same 27 inch Shirley in the Stand Up and Cheer. Sad part, eyes are crazed.

The American Character Toni is indeed a classic, and the American Beauty gown is timeless. Thanks for sharing your favorites with us!

Thank you Rachel for making time for your your video and a catch up. Strange those two raggedy Ann dolls fell out the case when you were talking about them. I like the doll behind you in the blue dress, I'm thinking a binnie walker by madame Alexander. Thank you and have a good week

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

What a keen eye you have! You're absolutely right, that's a Binnie Walker by Madame Alexander gracing the background. 👗 And as for those Raggedy Ann dolls taking a little tumble, well, I guess they wanted to be part of the conversation too! 😄 Thank you so much for watching and for your well wishes. It means the world to me to connect with such attentive and passionate doll enthusiasts like you.

[@tinab8692]

I own a doll from Jonathan's collection although I never met him. I knew him because I had watched his videos and learned a lot from him. I bid on the doll you own the Kathe Kruse. I bid on all his Kathe Kruse and his Volland Raggedy Ann- I bid on a lot of his dolls. I won a vintage doll of his that I love it's called Nicaput from West Germany. (Looks like a Shirley Temple) the doll has amazing flirty eyes.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

How special that you own a doll from Jonathan's collection! His passion for dolls was truly infectious, and I'm glad you could learn from his videos. The Nicaput doll sounds like an absolute gem, especially with those flirty eyes. 😊 Thank you for sharing this connection with us, it means a lot to hear stories like yours. 💕

Loved this video so much and catching up with you. Gosh, love all your newest dolls so adorable. I just got a thrifted 20" Effanbee fashion doll. Can't figure out who she is but she is so pretty. Thanks ever so much for sharing. Always love whatever you have to share. Hugs to you and the boys!

I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video and catching up with us! 😊💕 Your thrifted Effanbee fashion doll sounds like a lovely find, even if her identity is a mystery. Your support means the world to us, and we appreciate your kind words. Sending hugs right back to you! 🤗💖

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Such a lovely video! A couple of months ago I finally pulled out the Raggedy Ann I made for my baby sister when she was 7 and I was 16 or so. I’ve been in a quite severe autoimmune/neurological flare so haven’t been well enough to get a picture of her. I’d love to send you a photo…she’s quite large and still in good shape…needs a little cleaning at her hair line on one side. This wonderful video and little Holland reminded me of how much fun Dirce and I had when I made the doll. I don’t know if I can add a photo to a comment. If not I’ll print it and mail it to you. Also, my dearest friend/informally adopted big brother of 40 years been diagnosed with terminal colon cancer and 3 weeks ago we had to euthanize our 9 year old Boxer, who had the canine version of ALS. If you have time I would appreciate prayers/good thoughts for me to hold it together, especially health wise. I won’t be able to see my friend Julius or be with him or help him as he makes this next journey as I am too disabled to travel. This is very, very hard. Until I became so sick, I always cared for family and friends, even neighbors, when they were severely sick or dying. I couldn’t go with our Boxer and I can’t be with my friend. I feel so bereft of purpose and use. I am so proud of Julius for the path he has taken in response to his diagnosis. He has approached it with a profound self reflection, while at the same time working with his caretakers to keep him physically comfortable. While he has bad moments, he sees this as a means to grow as a human being, both psychologically and spiritually. I hope I haven’t overstepped or burdened you. The wonderful essays/thoughts/reflections about you mother had a huge impact on me.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

I'm touched to hear that my video reminded you of the joyful memories you and Dirce had with your handmade Raggedy Ann. Please do send a photo when you can; I'd love to see it. I'm so sorry you're going through such a challenging time. You have my thoughts and wishes for strength, especially in light of not being able to physically be there for Julius and your late Boxer. It's clear you're a compassionate, caring person, and even if you can't be there in person, your emotional support has immeasurable value. Julius sounds like an incredibly strong and introspective individual, approaching his diagnosis with grace. It's okay to share, and I'm grateful my reflections on my mom have made an impact on you. Thank you for being a supportive part of our community.

This past summer I picked up a Revlon doll for 20.00 from an estate sale she just needed a good cleaning everything was original on her. I been rescuing old teddy bears..I just picked up this past weekend and is great condition. Rust and gold coloring with a black silk tie.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

What a find! Rescuing a Revlon doll and giving her new life must have been so rewarding. And the teddy bear with the rust and gold coloring sounds absolutely charming. It's amazing what treasures you can uncover at estate sales. Thanks for sharing your exciting finds with us! 😊

Ac Sweet Sue And Toni used the same mold. The fastest way to tell which is which is Toni's eyelashes are painted in the corners of her eyes and Sweet Sue's is painted on under her eyes.
