1880'S ANTIQUE FRENCH DOLL MAKEOVER | RACHEL HOFFMAN'S DOLL SHOP 

WOW 😍 she's GORGEOUS!! I'm so glad I found your channel. Have always been obsessed with dolls but was told once I became a mother, I was a teenager, that I was too old for them. Well all my babies, I had 4, are adults now, I'm going to give myself permission to have them. I have one in pieces waiting for me to restore her, so this channel is perfect. Thank you xx

Linda is a genius! Rachel, you are looking wonderful, enjoy these miraculous moments!

Linda is a real treasure. Your smoothie sounds so good! Hope you enjoyed it.

Haha. My 5 yr old grandson knows the safety rule for following you through to see Linda and what she's up to. He's a great fan of Linda because she saves injured dolls! She has outdone herself with this sweet girl. Ooh, you are looking great. Pregnancy suits you and those overalls are perfect! I love them. Can't wait for the pink/blue reveal. Not that it matters who the bump will become as s/he is bound to be adorable, but it is still exciting to be about to hear though😊! It is nice to share lunch, even though I'm eating dinner. I'm enjoying seeing the doll case over your shoulder too.

Beautiful final product, love the light blonde wig choice and wispy flowers.

Rachel's only complaint: It's too good. I love getting those kinds of "complaints" hehe

Fantastic job! Linda rocks!

Love your overalls. I'm in withdrawal as I promised myself not to buy anymore dolls😰

I need Linda! I'm trying to restring Patsy Jr. and I'm afraid of cracking her body. Thanks to Linda for passing on her considerable skill and knowledge!

Thank you for the up date glad to see you are doing well with baby .Linda is a Treasure that French doll turned out beautiful.

WOW:)!! Rachel, I so LOVE what Linda did for this Doll:)!! Linda is so talented and this France Doll is so gorgeous and has a very soft baby blue Rococo look:)!! I so LOVE what Linda did with the Rose look for the belt and the flowers she used for the hat as much as the basket of flowers:)!! And I wanted to say that I also LOVE that super sweet German Doll in the Box:)!! And yes, I will never forget the Bear Den ( with John Paul Port too), the Christmas Ginger Bread House, and the Barbie Dream house, which were all lovely and so much fun:)!! And I got my first vintage Mohair Teddy Bear with another Boyds Bear for $10.95 at a local gift shop that was overwhelmed with Boyds Bears:)!! My first Mohair is Boyds Bear from 1999 Lincoln B. Bearington and I so LOVE him:)!! My Boyfriend had a Guinea Pig named Oscar:)!! I know how you feel about missing a pet, my Cat, Mr. Spratt who was a handsome tuxedo Cat, died on April 29th, 2020. I so miss him because he was the nicest Cat I ever owned:(. On a happier subject, your salad looks delicious:)!! My favorites are blueberries and I really like avocados a lot too:)!! Rachel, thank you so much for sharing Linda's awesome talent with us all:)!! And I so LOVE the France Doll as much as the German Doll in the Box:)!!

Hi Rachel, love your videos, I have aways loved dolls. I am a 65year woman. I have 4 grow up children. I don't have many dolls about 4. I was wondering if you could sell one of your big old dolls? Nothing famous, just a large doll with lovely dresswear, I think your lady that puts the doll together is amazing...I live in Ireland. Do you sell over sea,s? I was born in 1957 in arpil, just wondering what doll was made in that year, thank you Rachel and Linda...

Awesome

I really like your channel! I always watch it)

Can you make that mock rolled hem on a longer seam? Thank you so much for sharing.

Love my toy poodles!!!

Hi Rachel

I can’t throw fabric scraps either 😊

Love her the smaller flowers were much better. Question: do you soak the doll clothes in water when allowed to rehydrate the fibers so they don't rend. I love heirloom clothing, children's especially and that is what I was taught in a fabric conservatory class. There is a stain remover for heirloom clothing that removed those rust color stains.

doesn't just break your heart when you see such beautiful dresses so stained?

🙋‍♀️❤

Does anyone ever buy these wonderful dolls?

Definitely not the blue…love the smallest flowers.

I keep 99% of my scraps...to be used for pockets or trim. It's getting a bit much, however!

Is that mannequin head in the background for sale?

There was something wrong with the sound.
