Hi Rachel, You have the most Amazing shop, I love the pictures of your mother she looked a very sweet lady, I love the displays you made from your mum's treasures, You should be very proud of yourself for all your hard work, You did so well giving us the tour, You didn't need the film crew see you did a brilliant job all by yourself. Thank you for the tour of your Amazing, Beautiful shop.
That painting is amazing on the wallpaper, which is also stunning. As far as I’m concerned it’s impossible to have too many beautiful,old world style ornaments! I love your shop…it’s magic!
Awwww Rachel! You Doll Shop is just WONDERFUL! Thank You so much for the Tour! Your Mother would be so Proud of what you've done. Thank you for sharing!!
You are an beautiful talented woman!!! I’m sure your mother is pointing you out to other saints in Heaven saying “that beautiful shop was created by my amazing daughter!!
What an absolutely incredible and beautiful tribute to your mother’s heart and vision and life. You are an incredible daughter, mother, wife, businesswoman and doll collector. She’d be so proud of you. What a legacy. ❤️
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your touching words. They mean the world to me. I strive every day to honor my mother's legacy and vision. Your support and encouragement inspire me to keep spreading love through dolls. 💖
I think I’m still in awe, my words are difficult to get out of mouth, but I’ll try. From start to finish My mouth dropped open , not believing what I was looking at. Everything is perfect, breathtaking, stunning, and made me smile. I couldn’t get over it. This is big!!! This is grand!!! And everything was so beautiful. I had a big cheesy smile on my face , like I was seeing wonder land . Thank you, you have done the best job of bringing things together than anything I’ve ever seen before. Absolutely top notch!
A spectacular job on your doll shop! You have done so much for the doll community in these last few. years have brought so many people together online to see your beautiful shop I get to enjoy it with my mom and my aunt I’m sure they send you things they talk about Holland Diane has if is their Grandbaby. Thank you for the hardest working staff Stanley and Linda and probably some others that I’m not aware of your tour literally brought me to tears knowing how much this means to you and all the love you have for your mom my mom’s a doll collector and I am a doll collector. So your venue gives us a lot to discuss thank you Rachel Many blessings to you your family your friends in the doll shop.
Hi. Ilive in Florida and just want you to know you have the same name as I do! Not such a small world with internet anymore. LOL Your comment is just like mine - I love Rachel's shop and her tour.
It is always exciting to see your shop but it is looking better than ever today.what a lovely tribute to your mother and all the wonderful staff who have ever worked for you both. Thank you to you and Dianne.
Wallpaper is fabulous 🤩 and your display cases are just perfect for your shop. Your momma would be proud of you. Your doll shop is wonderful. I could spend hours in there looking at the dolls and asking questions about them. Blessings to you and yours 😇🤗
Wow!!!!!! what a dream shop Rachel. Its such a honor to be able to get to see . The flooring the show cases, the Christmas trees, the amazing collections. even the top knot doll. Everything is just so wonderful. The music created the most touching feeling to it all. Uncle Stanly is so lovely with Miss Holland Diane. Thank you Rachel for all the work you put into giving us such a memorable treat . xxxx
Wow---impressive! It's like a museum. Your mom must be beaming with pride from where she is, watching her daughter cherish, care for, and improve her wonderful doll shop. What a fabulous collection of treasures that are a part of history, and the newer ones that one day will be also. All the antique furniture enhances them. Thank you for the wonderful "professional" tour. No one could have made a better video. The music was lovely, and Stan and Holland Diane's cameo appearances were a delightful addition to it. Wishing you much luck and success, and fun, in your "new" shop.
I'm so proud of you, that you are taking care of the past via these Dolls and how important family is for you. That Daughter of yours could pass as your twin if you put Your Baby Pictures next to Her's, she is a living doll for sure. God bless you and your family.
Personally, I LOVE these candid videos more than anything with a professional film crew. It's part of what makes your channel so enjoyable, it's like chatting with a friend
Amazing Job Rachel! Last time I was in your shop was in the early 2000. You are the best of daughters honoring your mom and showing us her treasures! God Bless, Carol
How BEAUTIFUL!!! A perfect visit with your dear mom. So proud of you. The felt boudoir doll is from Brazil I love her. Thank you so much Such a joy to look at Joe
What a beautiful doll shop! Thank you for your Virtual Tour! I love seeing your Mother's dolls and the Christmas display!! Your Holland Diane is so precious!!
My heart is mush .. your little sweet baby girl saying Momma just squished me.. I love your shop n hope we can visit n find some magical treasure sometime soon , Bless You
Amazing treasures and memories there. Your shop is perfect and looks so lovely and I think you made the right decision to show your shop yourself. What better way to show all your hard work and have a personal touch. I thought that you looked like Holland Diane in the photo. Thank you Rachel
I was late tuning in to this. I loved it, of course, and you're right - it was a perfect tour. Amazing, gorgeous place - you could never feel alone there, with all those dolls, bears, everyone looking content all together. (And the cute live baby too!) Also a fitting tribute to your mom. Thank you for another of these magical videos.
Beautiful absolutely breathtaking This is more than a doll shop absolutely lovely it's inviting you just feel the love all around it wonderful job wonderful job I love it thank you for sharing
This was a wonderful tour, all your hard work looked amazing. I wish I had a doll shop/museum in my area to visit but seeing this video is a fantastic substitution. Thank you for all that you & your team do to bring us dolls & information . I will be watching this video again to look at all the beautiful dolls & small things that dolls love that I might might have missed the first time around. It's all absolutely beautiful, & much appreciated. Love from western New York
it has great ambiente atmosphere also neat and cosy and really organised , a true treasure and acomplishment !!! Hugs to you and both your little one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bless You !!!
My mother, father, grandmother and grandfather were antique dealers who excelled in slightly different niches. In short I have MANY items of all types in my home today from said family, giving me tight spaces that I manage to display at least 75% of. I have a 2-inch Miniature Bisque Porcelain Doll that is dressed in a lace cap and dress that also has a lot of lace. She also possesses long blonde hair, and she is 1800's. I don't know how much she is worth, but she is priceless to me, as my grandmother gave her to me on my birthday 40 yrs. ago and said Doll was antique then. I love Your Shop, it is very beautiful.
Thank you for the wonderful tour. I'm so glad you decided to do it without a film crew etc, it would have been stressful. This way was very natural and perfect. 💐
What a wonderful doll shop transformation! I was privileged to visit you with my grand daughter and daughter~in~law not too long ago and I so enjoyed seeing the shop! Now, it's fun to see your new display set ups! Love you, your shop and all of your content on TH-cam! The bingo wall will be fun to see with different collections as time goes by. Thanks so much...it looks so nice! Keep on keepin on.
First off thank you for the tour. You have a beautiful shop and a beautiful collection of dolls. Out of all those magnificent rare dolls the one that stood out the most for me was the large 1907 Jumeau in the red cape. She is absolutely spectacular. Thank you again for sharing.
First of all: The shop looks amazing!!!! I could not get over every single gallery or room. Second of all, from one mother to another, you are truly using great wisdom regarding your lifestyle and career. We’ve all been guilty of wanting unattainable perfection, and the ability to understand that “this is my best in this season” allows you to be a healthy minded mom to Holland Diane. And a healthy woman in general. There will be plenty of time for future goals. You’ve done incredible things with your shop, all while balancing busy mom life. Props to you for asking for help. A lot of new moms go into super woman mode and refuse to seek out help. I was one of those ladies and it nearly destroyed me and my marriage. People that love you want to help out. You’re blessed with Stanley, Linda and your dad. To me, your shop is perfect as it is. I ohhed and ahhed over so many things. I can tell you and the staff worked so hard to get it to his point and I think your mom would be impressed. It’s touching to see the ways you honor your mom in the displays of her most valuable material treasures. Your mom had impeccable taste in everything. I LOVE the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, although I am partial to rag dolls. LOL! Thank you for being you and sharing this with all your friends out there in the doll world. 💕
oh my doll Rachel! you did such a fantastic job reorganizing your shop. it is huge and magnificent, we are walking on a cloud! love and hug to you, your team and our favorite doll of all Holland Diane. Stanley with you...part 2, irresistible🥰
Rachel, I love the doll shop tour! You did such a professional job. I like how you added close up photos, music and so many special family touches! VDC Pop up was so much fun, and I've learned so much. I love collecting American girl, so I really enjoyed the videos with you and your brother Paul and Allison shopping at the flea market and seeing his collection as well. I didn't buy a doll this time as I love my basic Ellowyne and I wanted others to have the opportunity to have one too. Not only that, but I'm saving up for an antique doll, so I hope you will have some of the beautiful ones in your shop for sale soon! Blessings to you and your gorgeous family and staff.
Wow! What a complete wonderful and beautiful transformation from when I used to go there a few years ago. Very nicely done! Hope there will be a time to come visit in person.
Also that drawing of your mother placed close the front of the store truly shows your love for her and the tree made of ornaments that your mom put together that took a Little while as she searched for specific ornaments that she liked and you mentioning that you had fond memories of that sounds awesome. It definitely put a smile on my face as its beautiful you mentioning her with such love .Thats so very cool and so how it should be but sometimes it just isn't the case and I feel having a good bond with their parents gives a kid later in life much more confidence then as of not having that bond with there parents As you can tell i so much truly like that your showing love and your appreciation for your mom and im not sure as when she passed but i give my condolences no matter even if it was like 10 years ago or like a week ago as its obviously you miss her and love her and she held on to your crib That is so very cool She sounds like a truly good woman and great mother
Your doll shop looks incredible Rachel!!!😍❤ It was a joyful experience to take a personal tour with you through your shop 🥰😀 Everything is displayed beautifully and you have done an amazing job capturing the magic of dolls and the memory of your Mum 😍 It's wonderful to see your daughter enjoying the same experiences that you did 😀 One day we hope to get back over to the U.S again and I would love to take my daughter to visit your shop 😀
Rachel, I think the shop looks absolutely amazing. I could see all the hard work and love that went into it. My favorite is all the stories and the history behind each of the items you explained in the first part of the video. Just amazing. Also, I can’t believe Holland Diane says, “mama” now 😘😘😘😘
Love your doll shop. It is very pretty and all of your doll are gorgeous. So so many. I wish I lived near so I could visit but I live in Florida. Your daughter is precious.Thank you for the tour.
Thats very cool how you still have your actual crib that you used as a baby and incorporated it into the shop. Your mom definitely loved you as i can definitely tell you did too and of course still do
what has been created is so magic and special....Including you and your family. I have not enough words to describe ! I far FAR prefer you shooting the video ,over strangers. Like all of the magic you have further created from what your mom did..... Well I am not even a collector
Loved seeing the new and improved shop! It is fantastic! Little Holland Diane saying momma made my eyes mist up! So beautiful! Loved seeing the dolls too! I want to have a little French fashion doll one day! The ones I saw in your cases were awesome! Well done Rachel! Thank you for the tour! Loved it!m
Is it possible?! How could this marvel of a doll-house EVER be even more mesmerizing? Well, gosh! Watch this video! It's amazing. It's over-the-top gorgeous! I am so doggone glad that I saw a notification in my email-feed about this! (I've been busy with new work and entirely too much new computer programs---designed to make everything easier and faster, eh?--but THIS, THIS is DIVINE! I am so glad that I made my way back to watching your videos. They have sustained me during all sorts of trials and tribulations and some rest times, too! Of all the toy or doll shops I have known and loved (and I still love those memories!), yours is now the zenith! I am thankful for your videos and I am going to forward your links to my relatives who will really love seeing these and to their grandchildren, too! I am so happy to see everything here! Always, a fan, Deborah Nourse Lattimore (picture book writer and illustrator!)
P.S. I love the specialists who come to curate your collections. John Paul Port rocks! He's intuitive, very informed and scholarly and, he loves these pieces! I have a Bonzo that belonged to my grandfather and when John was looking at those pieces, I was thrilled, thrilled to hear someone talk with such loving expressions about a doll which represents a time now long ago but brought back to life when he spoke. Many thanks to you!
Everything is gorgeous. I like the cloth doll in the Raggedy.Ann and Andy carriage.My childhood Raggedy Ann has vanished over the years..my Mom had made it...The doll decorating the tree is adorable.. My boys just climbed out of their cribs...I adore the beautiful life size Santas.Santa's. I thought you and Holland Diane look alike. I love the Toni dolls. Still have all my childhood Toni. That was a great video. From Tennessee
You're definitely a cool one and I hope your newly revamped remodeled place gets a lot of visitors coming down to your antique doll and other beautiful type antique type items in your shop\ antique store
Amazing , video , You are the perfect host . It's your party , girl , thank you , I love to fallow your videos and doll collection, I've loved dolls since I was a little kid, I'd get a new doll every year to play with all year the latest picture I have of myself with my new Christmas doll was right before jr.high lol yea I know .

Wow! Your shop is magical! I think you look identical to Holland Diane in your laughing baby photo! The smiling apple didn't fall far from the laughing tree! 🙂
Your shop is amazing. I couldn't look away since you've opened the door. I'm from germany, so i won't ever see your shop myself. Maybe that's better, i would stay with you for hours and my sweet husband won't be happy with that. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place.

Wow, everything looks absolutely magical. I am so happy to have joined the VDC again this year - the programming is phenomenal. And my Club Grace subscription continues to be an absolute joy every month.

Congratulations on your success - so much hard work, and it shows! Cheers!
That’s definitely a WOW!!!

Stunning . Just brought me to tear up a couple times. I love dolls so much lol thanks so much.
It’s so cool there I would spend hours looking at everything I like how open it is now
Everything is just beautiful, thank you !!
First of all: The shop looks amazing!!!! I could not get over every single gallery or room. Second of all, from one mother to another, you are truly using great wisdom regarding your lifestyle and career. We’ve all been guilty of wanting unattainable perfection, and the ability to understand that “this is my best in this season” allows you to be a healthy minded mom to Holland Diane. And a healthy woman in general. There will be plenty of time for future goals. You’ve done incredible things with your shop, all while balancing busy mom life. Props to you for asking for help. A lot of new moms go into super woman mode and refuse to seek out help. I was one of those ladies and it nearly destroyed me and my marriage. People that love you want to help out. You’re blessed with Stanley, Linda and your dad.
To me, your shop is perfect as it is. I ohhed and ahhed over so many things. I can tell you and the staff worked so hard to get it to his point and I think your mom would be impressed. It’s touching to see the ways you honor your mom in the displays of her most valuable material treasures. Your mom had impeccable taste in everything. I LOVE the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, although I am partial to rag dolls. LOL! Thank you for being you and sharing this with all your friends out there in the doll world. 💕
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. I resonate with so much that you said and appreciate you taking the time to write it. ♥️
oh my doll Rachel! you did such a fantastic job reorganizing your shop. it is huge and magnificent, we are walking on a cloud! love and hug to you, your team and our favorite doll of all Holland Diane. Stanley with you...part 2, irresistible🥰
The music is perfectly lovely. It's like visiting a memory. 🎶❤️🎶
Thank you very much!

Way more personal then a pro crue.

a time to come visit in person.

I remember your mom so well! I loved her ! She was kind and fair and knowledgeable! I am Ho phi Le .

Rachel, I think the shop looks absolutely amazing. I could see all the hard work and love that went into it. My favorite is all the stories and the history behind each of the items you explained in the first part of the video. Just amazing. Also, I can’t believe Holland Diane says, “mama” now 😘😘😘😘
This whole convention has been so much fun!! Thank you!!
Wonderful show, love everything ❤️.
I am just halfway through your video and I can't help but react. The googly boy doll, his lashes are so art deco!
Love your doll shop. It is very pretty and all of your doll are gorgeous. So so many. I wish I lived near so I could visit but I live in Florida. Your daughter is precious.Thank you for the tour.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it. ❤️
Wow the moving doll at 35:49 was magical😍 great video the shop is Beautiful 💕
C’est magique ! Merci pour ce moment de bonheur ! Nous approchons des Fêtes de Noel et avons besoin de rêver !
Thats very cool how you still have your actual crib that you used as a baby and incorporated it into the shop. Your mom definitely loved you as i can definitely tell you did too and of course still do
Thank you so much. ❤️
what has been created is so magic and special....Including you and your family. I have not enough words to describe ! I far FAR prefer you shooting the video ,over strangers. Like all of the magic you have further created from what your mom did..... Well I am not even a collector
Wow,stunning tree, beautiful doll and santa next to it. Stunning crib. Love your dollhouses!
That was special. I so loved the tour. So many wonderful treasures and very beautifully presented.
The store looks like a dream! So beautiful! Amazing!
Loved seeing the new and improved shop! It is fantastic! Little Holland Diane saying momma made my eyes mist up! So beautiful! Loved seeing the dolls too! I want to have a little French fashion doll one day! The ones I saw in your cases were awesome! Well done Rachel! Thank you for the tour! Loved it!m
Is it possible?! How could this marvel of a doll-house EVER be even more mesmerizing? Well, gosh! Watch this video! It's amazing. It's over-the-top gorgeous! I am so doggone glad that I saw a notification in my email-feed about this! (I've been busy with new work and entirely too much new computer programs---designed to make everything easier and faster, eh?--but THIS, THIS is DIVINE! I am so glad that I made my way back to watching your videos. They have sustained me during all sorts of trials and tribulations and some rest times, too! Of all the toy or doll shops I have known and loved (and I still love those memories!), yours is now the zenith! I am thankful for your videos and I am going to forward your links to my relatives who will really love seeing these and to their grandchildren, too! I am so happy to see everything here! Always, a fan, Deborah Nourse Lattimore (picture book writer and illustrator!)
P.S. I love the specialists who come to curate your collections. John Paul Port rocks! He's intuitive, very informed and scholarly and, he loves these pieces! I have a Bonzo that belonged to my grandfather and when John was looking at those pieces, I was thrilled, thrilled to hear someone talk with such loving expressions about a doll which represents a time now long ago but brought back to life when he spoke. Many thanks to you!
Everything is gorgeous. I like the cloth doll in the Raggedy.Ann and Andy carriage.My childhood Raggedy Ann has vanished over the years..my Mom had made it...The doll decorating the tree is adorable.. My boys just climbed out of their cribs...I adore the beautiful life size Santas.Santa's. I thought you and Holland Diane look alike. I love the Toni dolls. Still have all my childhood Toni. That was a great video. From Tennessee
Very impressive collection. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
You're definitely a cool one and I hope your newly revamped remodeled place gets a lot of visitors coming down to your antique doll and other beautiful type antique type items in your shop\ antique store

Wow! Your shop is magical! I think you look identical to Holland Diane in your laughing baby photo! The smiling apple didn't fall far from the laughing tree! 🙂
Oh, her "Mama" is so cute! What a great idea to recreate the photo with the surviving dress. It should be sooner than later.
Your shop is amazing. I couldn't look away since you've opened the door. I'm from germany, so i won't ever see your shop myself. Maybe that's better, i would stay with you for hours and my sweet husband won't be happy with that. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place.
Glad you like it! I appreciate you watching and enjoying with me!

Wow, everything looks absolutely magical. I am so happy to have joined the VDC again this year - the programming is phenomenal. And my Club Grace subscription continues to be an absolute joy every month. A trip from Ohio to Denver is on the bucket list for my partner and I and I hope to see your gorgeous shop in person one day in addition to the shops, museums and pottery studios you've showcased on your channel - and a dip in the hot springs! Congratulations on your success - so much hard work, and it shows! Cheers!
