The Adventures of a Doll Doctor in Canada

Your favorite childhood doll or toy has just been found stuffed away in a box in the basement? It is cracked and dirty and your family urges you to throw it out. But it is full of memories and despite its many flaws, you just cannot discard it. Doll doctors and restoration artists can help. Many of the saddest dolls and toys can be restored. I restore dolls from my home base in Ontario. Wintertime however, finds me packing up a few projects and fleeing to Florida to work in the sunshine!

Beautiful! It's always nice to see your work. You do such an amazing job of keeping the originality of the dolls. I love the yellow flowers on the bonnet 💛🌼💛
