Erin and I have a new hobby together... doll repair! She wanted an American Girl doll for Christmas and I said, "I can't afford one"! We decided to get a beat up American Girl Samantha doll for $35.00 and fix it up. And we did! And it is beautiful! We got another beat up Samantha with the intention of selling it... but I fell in love with it and kept it! It represented what Erin and I did together and I just could not part with it. I am also into repairing and selling Crissy dolls... I have sold two now and have just picked up 4 more Crissy's, two Velvet dolls, and a 1930 doll and a 1950 doll.... totaling about $30.00. I sell the Crissy's for $20.00 a piece after I fix up/re-root hair and put clothes on her. Mary wants one of the Velvet dolls!
But one day Mary and I went to the thrift store and found what looked like a nice doll just needing her hair done. I took it home and it was a "My Twinn" doll. I had no idea what that was. I fixed her hair, put it on ebay... it sold for $62.00. I think I had help from Heavenly Father on that one!
So, anyone want to see the dolls I've done?! Here they are! I have just finished completely rebuilding an American Girl Doll Kirsten, too!
