I love the beautiful dolls always puts a smile on my face, your doll shop is so soothing to me. Your videos are so positive & uplifting. I truly enjoy watching them & always look forward to seeing Holland Diane, she’s absolutely precious🥰 & her closeness with Stanley is wonderful to watch. Thanks for sharing.
You're so welcome. I've been a doll lover all of my life, and have been dealing for 4 years your channel brings me so much joy. I am facing many health challenges lately and it is a way for me to escape and enjoy, thank you for that. 💕
What a beautiful display! Holland Diane is precious and how you handle her needs at the shop is fantastic. Whatever works!!! It’s a hard job to handle it all and you do it brilliantly.
I must say you have some very beautiful dolls... I'm a male Doll Collector and it's nice to see on your channel that men collect also. thank you for that, and the respect that you show towards male doll collectors.thank you
Thank you so much! Absolutely, doll collecting knows no bounds, and the VDC Team celebrates the passion of ALL collectors. It's an art form, a history lesson, and a community all rolled into one! We're thrilled you're part of our doll-loving family. Keep rocking your collection! 🌟🎎💙
Loved the new opening “theme music” featuring drum and phone ringer. Real life in the doll shop! 🙂 Can’t wait for tomorrow. Great idea, and Christopher makes everything look so beautiful-and so tempting! Thanks for all you do to make all of us feel like family.
"Intentional polka dots"! Love it. Great job on the display, Christopher! Such an enjoyable video, Rachel. I love the way you bring us warmly into your wonderful, hectic, and blessed world with positivity and promise. It's like stopping by for a visit, as I have a cup of tea on this end. Stanley, you are a treasure. "Drone footage"! I hope you get well and recover quickly. And Dad, too. I'm looking forward to the Grace beginnings video. As I missed the first year, this will be so wonderful to see. Warm hugs to all of you!
Stanley is such a blessing. What a nice thoughtful guy bringing in the instruments. You have a great team there. Concerning sickness, where I live, the kids have been sick for at least a month. Colds, sore throats, healthy for a couple days, throwing up, then better then back to colds. I think we are making up for all the time in lockdown. Stay well!
Christopher styling is fabulous!!!! Beautiful cases❤ Holland is getting so independent growing up before our eyes Thank you Rachel for sharing your days at the shop
Holland wants her Stanley. She sleeps so cute with Stanley. I hope Stanley and Holland are well soon. A lot of people in my world are ill. I am doing great just achy from PT. The doll clothes are gorgeous I am in love with the sweaters. Wish I could knit. Stay well and safe. From Tennessee
As a retired teacher I can tell you, the only way I could keep my students from catching whatever illness was going around was to swab down the room each evening and always keep plenty of hand sanitizer, kleenex and paper towels. Unfortunately once our babies start school they are going to be exposed.Everyone getting sick at once is part of life. But I appreciate you letting us share in the workings of the doll shop and all the people involved . Christopher is a real asset my favorite characters are Holland Diane and Stanley. How good it is to see him introduce her to music and instruments.I will just say to you, my dear, you are doing just fine.
Good job, Christopher. I wish I could afford you to style my doll clothes in my booth. I think it is great to give a child little changes to their routine. My job is going to craft fairs and selling. I took my babies (in turn), and again when they reached school age and could follow direction better. BTW, thank you for showing the dolls and Holland Diane. I am having a real bummer of a day, and this cheered me up.
Hi, Rachel! I ❤️❤️❤️ your excitement, your inspirational words and, of course, your DOLLS! Eagerly awaiting the new doll shop space tomorrow😊 Holland Diane is ADORABLE! Toddling about ... awwww.❤️❤️❤️ Hmmm, is your daughter on a French walker body?🤔 Just kidding ... Wishing you all good luck for the grand opening tomorrow! My notification is ON!💐
Great video! Lots of content. I really liked the more in depth favorite pieces with Christopher because I found it more engaging for me than the quick 5 and not seeing how versatile the pieces are before. I didn't think the dolls were interesting before but I am liking how posable they are. I actually first bought dolls as like artist mannequins to draw and then fell off the wagon from there collecting. My friend worked daycares for many years and she was sick every other week and pushed herself to get through the days. The kids and staff pass germs back and forth and all around. You know young kids and seniors have weaker immune system and catch colds and flu's, sore throats, etc. much more easily too. I noticed most people today when I went to Trader Joe's were wearing masks here in Northern CA, I don't know if it is just cold and flu season they are trying to get through but do know an older person who had covid and had to have pacemaker put in recently. I am wearing masks too just because I took care of my mom and she was sensitive to sickness and I am now older and also trying to avoid sickness. They say if we would all wear masks during cold and flu season we could possibly eliminate these viruses completely since they need hosts.
Holland Diane want to the park or walks lol. Minni and I can't wait for spring and summer to go on more walks. Sometimes we take my baby dolls for walks on sunny nice days. My baby dolls are being spoiled to go with me and Minni to walks right. It fun to take baby dolls o the walks with Minni.
Rachel, I so LOVE to see Stan with Holland Diane because he has such love for her🤗🤗💖💖💖💖💖!! Holland Diane looked so cute playing the Glockenspiel😃😃💖💖💖💖💖!!! And again, I am happy that Holland Diane is feeling better now🧸🧸💜💜💜💜💜!! And I🙏🙏 pray that Stan feels better soon too🙏🙏!! And I know what multiple infections are like starting with a 105 fever at 2 and one half years old and I have had too many stomach viruses with 104 fevers in that I basically threw up part of my Childhood. To this day I am proven to stomach issues. However, to mention a few more recent infections, In 2019, I had a very bad Eye Infection where my eye was bleeding and I was given the Antibacterial Eye Drops Cipro 4 times a day for 10 days and it really helped, but in 2017 I had an ear infection and the Antibiotics messed my digestive system up bad!! And in December 2022, my Boyfriend and went to Church and even though we are vaccinated and triple boosted for Covid-19, we got Covid 19 and we gave it to my Mom and my Boyfriend's Dad. We were blessed to be vaccinated and boosted For Covid-19 so we only had fevers and we were thankfully not in the hospital!!!! I so understand that these infections go around and they can be very nasty. And on a much happier subject, I so LOVE Christopher's pink sweater 💖💖💖💖💖and fur coat😃😃!! And Rachel I also LOVE your mint green sweater💚💚💚💚💚 and pearl button earrings🤍🤍!! I would wear what BOTH of you are wearing😃😃👍👍👍👍👍!!!!! And I really LOVE that Ellowyne Doll dressed in the lace dress!! However, Christopher is so talented!! I LOVE how he dressed Showcase Grace with the leopard like pattern dress, silver shoe boots, and blue coat!! I also really LOVE the Poke A Dot shirt💖💖💖💖💖 and the blue jean like tank top with white straps💙💙💙💙 on Ellowyne with her blue pants💙💙💙💙💙!!! And that Ellowyne Doll looks so stunningly beautiful with the light blue gown💙💙💙💙💙 and floral crown🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺!!! And Thank you Rachel and Christopher for bringing us these awesome videos😃😃💖💖💖💖💖!! Christopher does an outstanding job with styling and arranging the Dolls too😃😃⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!!
