Each doll is unique some may have a cloth body, composition body, or even a leather body, and their eyes might be made of French paperweight glass or German glass. The eyes are truly the soul of the doll, often guiding the choice of hair color and style. I only use the finest materials to ensure each doll is a work of art that will be cherished for generations.

Letting go of these dolls isn't easy, but my family and I are keeping a few that mean the most to us, while the others are being offered to new homes where they'll be just as cherished. Each of my mother's dolls tells a story through the exceptional care she put into their creation.What made her dolls truly unique was the high-quality materials she insisted on using. She carefully selected French lace, imported silks, Swarovski crystals, and used only the finest Seeley molds, hand-mixed paints, and porcelain. Each detail was painstakingly handcrafted, from the silk threads in the dresses to the delicate finishing touches. These weren't just dolls to her, they were pieces of art, each unique because of the personalized attention she gave to every step of the process.As I share these dolls with other collectors, I hope they go to homes where they'll be admired not only for their beauty but also for the artistry and craftsmanship behind them.
