Here is the information for the weekend show. You live local, it is a fun event to walk through to see all the things pre-dating the 1960's.

In the past few months of this New Year, I have been finalizing work I had to put on hold with deadlines getting seriously close. I had a lot of items out of the ordinary that needed completed that was not for Christmas. These pictures of the items I had been working on with a before and after picture.

Going into this weekend, I have a show I do every year of the Zonta Antique Show in Longview, Texas that I am preparing for. After this weekend, I have some remaining orders to complete I have been working on that I will post their pictures when completed.

I am happy to say that within the next two weeks after this weekend's show, I will be caught up from pre-holiday orders that each needed special artistic detail attention. I do appreciate customer patience. Some projects are harder than others, but each are all equally important. These projects depend on good weather, consistent temperatures, and a lot of wait time between things done to cure, dry, etc... when dealing with glues, paints, and putties. Other times I have to study the item or dolls to figure out the best productive approach to repair it before I do anything to it. The items not doll related in these photos are items scattered out from over this past year of 2025 until recently that belonged to doll repair customers. I am just now getting to gather up their photos to post together with some of the doll work of recent weeks. Some of them can be some interesting challenges just for the fun of it, restoring works of art along side a doll or bear from the same family.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has sent me dolls, doll parts, brought me dolls or supplies in the past few months. Every time I receive an item or items, it is like Christmas for me all year long. I never turn down any doll related item in any condition due to I never know when I might need it to repair a museum piece or to fix someone else's item of need. It keeps the cost investment down for everyone and does make a difference. Special items not needed a lot get to have new friends to live with in scenes I will be sharing later this year.

The year 2025 has come to an end and I want to thank everyone who has been a part of 2025 who posted nice comments, brought an item to my shop in person or as a person who sent an item to be restored through the mail. We both valued the item that came and went home. I have been honored to have become a part of so many birthdays, special events, and holidays.

Now that Christmas has come, I can post a few of the items I have done during the holiday that were returned or part of someone's special holiday event. Some were simple, some more complicated. All were important to the person they belonged to. Thank you to each for being patience when it because critical on timing for meeting deadlines this year for the children orders I had to help Santa with. All got delivered on time because of you.

Happy New Year"s Eve for 2026 ! ! !

Baby Vogue Doll & Brides restored over the past few weeks. It takes weeks due to waiting time for fabrics cleaned to naturally air dry, like the bride outfits. Hand sewing takes time and can be hard on one's fingers after a while when a needle is pushed through the thick vinyl places like on this baby doll with a cloth body. At the factories when these were originally made, a special machine does all the work to sew fabric bodies to vinyl limbs of a doll.

Set of Huge 32" Handmade Vintage Raggedy Dolls get a Cleaning & Repair ( two week job)

For cloth items it is a lot of handwork due to so many steps are taken to preserve their nature look when the restoration is complete. Here in pictures from start to finish in steps I take and why.

Saw a story last summer about this very situation of dolls washing up on the beach of Texas. I would adopt them. Would love to have even one because of their story. To me...they need some serious TLC and love. What a dream vacation for a doll doctor to go and pick up needy dolls on the beach!
