Aw so precious!! Thank you. Oh things are not always on time with a 2 year old too. Ha ha. The littles are on their own agenda. To answer your question, I am in california. Linda is a great woman. She does great spa time for the dolls. She loves those dolls. The more dolls I am exposed to from your channel the more I appreciate all types. Antique dolls are so amazing. They were well constructed. So many are still around which is amazing compared to current dolls for kids. Doll designers are amazing for all dolls though. A true art. Oh man your salad looked amazing. You look great by the way. Thank you for all you do. Love you and your channel.
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments here, I appreciate this so much and will relay your comments to Linda!!

It is very stressful!
She is growing fast and still looks like her dad! She is beautiful!
Thank you!
I just absolutely love your channel, your doll store and your precious baby. I am so glad I found your channel. I so very much appreciate your content. I can't imagine what a blessing it must be to have such a Beautiful store.
This means a lot to us, thank you so much! I’m so glad you found us!
I absolutely love your videos, sharing tips and tricks of cleaning and repairing dolls. Linda is a true treasure to watch her perform her magic on the dolls. My husband and I visited your shop over twenty years ago, met your mom and bought a beautiful doll. Thank you for caring on her legacy🥰 Diane Reeves
OMG! This video kept me so exited. First Holland Diane sucking her thumb and almost sleep was precious. The dolls great job you guys have done. Please say thanks to the lady that sew the beautiful dresses for the dolls. It was a treat to watch this video.🤗😍💞🤗
Love love love!! Thank you for watching and enjoying!
First thing I bought when pregnant was buy teeny tiny jeans, lol. I’m here in Delaware. I moved here from Texas decades ago…had to find it in the map! Speaking of teeny tiny!
Love those tiny jeans!! Thank you so much for watching!
Your opening "TED talk" words are exactly what I needed to hear. Holland is so beautiful...love how you call her " sister bean" 💛 The jeans are so baby cool.
I enjoy your videos so much, makes me so happy to see you and the dolls and baby, you have a wonderful personality Rachel, your a good mama.
The love you have for your mom is so apparent which touches the heart. I appreciate Linda's experience and knowledge. The German head doll on the French body looks just like the one I had...oh I miss my doll. OMG you done her good Linda!!
Ya for Stan the man, everyone helps out indeed.
My grandsons name is Stanley.
Cheers to you all from MB Canada 🇨🇦
I’m so glad!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm in Georgia but my heart will always belong in my native state Colorado❤ Holland Diane is absolutely adorable❤
❤️❤️❤️
I'm 19 and looking for my first job and OMG now I know what I want to do. WORK IN A DOLL SHOP! I literally love this channel sooooo much
Another great video Rachel. I loved seeing pictures of your sweet mom. Linda has the best job ever! Holland is so adorable in those jeans, and sucking her thumb too 😍. Thanks for the Martha Chase lesson. Have a great weekend.
So glad you enjoyed this, Jody. Thank you for the kind words! ❤️
I love your videos and your baby is just precious! 😊
Thanks so much to you for opening the world of dolls up for me , Im making it happy, playing over here , building my dollhouse roof n gluing my own hair on a balded 9 in wood wax over dolly in a original blue calico dress with red wool n crochet slip , Im just playing doing a Harry Potter style Horcrux doppelganger lol..
You’re so welcome, thank you for being a part!
I love looking over Linda's shoulder. I learn by watching her hands. Stanley and baby are cute. I'm glad you have family support.
It is a blessing to have the kind of business you can take her to. Jeans and coco melon head OMG too cute. Isn't it great that snail mail exists to share our history! My mom sent me a letter from an ancient cousin , an artist, predicting my birth and sharing love and that letter made me cry from the love. We are blessed. love from LA. ancient Ellen
Oh those cute toes! I love her blue jeans! The antique doll content is so enjoyable too!xx
Thank you so much!
Oh those sweet little toes! Holland Diane is so precious! Love the dolls, too, but the real little doll is Miss Holland Diane!
Birmingham, Alabama! Love your videos💕😚
Thank you for watching!
So love seeing Holland Diane. I had two girls (and 2 boys) and my first baby girl is now 30 and the second about to turn 25. I am SO excited to have a grandbaby in the next couple of years. My second oldest; Thomas is getting married this July so maybe in a year or two. Thanks for your beautiful reflections on your Mom and her dolls. Love that you do what you want to do and love that we get to share in it too.
and the people that work for you too! They are excellent!
Greetings from Lima, Peru!
Cheers!

Thank you for watching from Peru! How awesome!
Like I always say, I love that you share Holland Diane with all of us. She is so much a part of all that you do at the shop and TH-cam plus Instagram. I love that we can all watch her grow and develop into the cute little precious angel that she is. I also enjoy that you show the ins and outs of the doll shop.
Thank you so much, Zena! ❤️

@@RachelHoffmanDolls Your welcome, from Washington :)
Rachel you’re a real Wonder Woman! Sister bean is growing up so fast!💕💕💕💕💕
Awe thanks!!
I don't have any doll Collector friends . With my husband's help I collected dolls during the 80s and 90s. I don't have a lot of really old dolls like you. I love your videos My husband passed away in 2020. There are those in my family who call my dolls creepy. It really upsets me but thanks to your lovely videos I still see their importance to me since most were collected with my husband. thank you so much and thanks for listening.
Thank you so much for sharing, Linda. We’re happy you’re here with us to enjoy doll collecting. Big hugs!
Thank you ,thank you , thank you words can not describe how much I love and appreciate your channel I come from this era and so many people I came up with just don’t have a clue they don’t understand.
Thank you so much. ❤️
She's a little fashionista!
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing. I just love to watch you and baby Holland Diane.
Thank you so much!
I love watching your videos, especially at the end of a busy work week! Thank you for sharing your baby with us. I love baby toes too!! Can't resist them. :) Miss my kids as babies , but they're all fabulous adults now. Of course, more time for dolls now. I enjoy watching Linda's repair work and I learn something new every time. Visiting your store is on my bucket list. I'm in Richmond, Virginia! Cheers!
It just made my day watching this video during lunch❣️ Y'all are a precious little doll family there and I so much enjoy getting a peak into your day😊👍
Thank you for joining us!
Though not quite up to the level of Holland Diane, the dolls being worked on today are wonderful. Linda is a sar! I've learned so much from seeing her at work.
So glad you loved this, thank you for watching!
My "babies" range in age from 19-31, I'm 49 and in all those years, I think I've managed to be "on time" maybe a dozen times 😁 my youngest has several disorders and that's ok, but I can't see me changing 🤣
You do you. Children are AMAZING and life for me is better for them.
Love all the dolls, memories, love and especially Holland Diane ❤️❤️ xx
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
My new/old Little Lady, near perfect bride doll is very interested in the cleaning of the beautiful Martha Chase, which we both covet!
Hope it was fun to watch!!
Hi Rachel, I'm from Lake St. Louis, Missouri. Been following you for almost a year. I was so excited to find your channel and Face Book pages. I'm giggling at baby jeans.
Thank you so much, we’re glad you enjoyed those 👖
Hi Rachel, this is Jaime from Lima, Peru. I am an admirer man of your channel from 3 or 4 years ago, when you introduced Stan Gregg to us for first time.
I really like the way you do your work at your doll shop and your roll as a wife and now as mum. Let me tell you that it is great, for me, to know you were born in the same date, December 23th, of my favorite aunt Victoria. She was my mum's oldest sister. My mum is now 90 years old.
So, aunt Victoria loved very much indeed dolls. She had a lovely collection of dolls and teady bears. I got, at least, one tiny teady bear from her splendid collection. And all these things, I am sharing with you, happened in AREQUIPA, Peru's second largest city.
So, Rachel, thank you so much for sharing with us your life, you wonderful baby Holland Dianne, the photos, the superb dolls you have, y
Thank you so much for sharing this, I enjoyed reading it!
I enjoy all your videos… I like to have you guys next to me while I work… I love dolls so these videos make my workday very pleasant … thank you and don’t pay attention to the mean comments people need more love in their hearts 💕 your baby is beautiful 🤩
I love it. Thanks for sharing! And listening to us. ♥️
Bonjour de la côte d'Opale, France 🇨🇵
Thank you for watching!
Holland is so cute...she. does like her thumb. Your trips down memory lane are always so interesting. I am so excited for my Patsy dolls to arrive. Those white dresses are exquisite...from Tennessee
Thank you so much for bidding, Gale!
Oh Lord! Give me baby feeties any time! There's just nothing like little baby toes! They are pink and soft and wiggly.
The jeans are so funny. Babies look like little farmers that have had a great life and ate a lot of good dinners.
Oh your salad!
Love your comment!!
I think the elderly lady and the one that's not to smart,rock! Being an elderly lady myself, that loves dolls,and some jerks think I'm not to bright, it takes alot of knowledge to be experts like all of you. I especially love the little dolly Holland Diane.
She is so smart and does amazing work, it’s crazy to me what kind of comments people feel compelled to leave on our videos! Luckily, most comments are wonderful like yours, thank you!
Holland is such a sweet baby!!!
Thank you!
Baby feetsies are definitely adorable!!
So adorable!
You truly are making your MOM Proud!!! Beautiful in the Camera and so Informative. New Subscriber Castleton ny... Just loving your Videos very personable and you have a Very Angelic Spirit. Bless YOU and your little Holland!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate you subscribing and so glad you are here!!
Watching from Canada ....keep doing what you do love the show love little Holland and it wouldnt be the same without Linda and Stanley .The dolls are fun too lol.
Thank you so much, Lorry!
Hello from Lockport,NY
Thanks for watching!
Hello from u.k. ! love watching your videos X
I miss my mother too
Hi from Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, Love your Babe too👏💕
Thank you for watching!
Hi Rachel, I'm in Queens, NY. Love to see sweet Holland Diane in her jeans! What a blast! She looks so happy. Yes baby toes are the best! Kiss kiss kiss. Loved learning about the Martha Chase dolls and seeing Linda Clea and dress the dolls. I just have a few of the German baby dolls. I clean them with diluted dishwashing liquid and cotton buds. I dilute a gentle clothes detergent and dunk their clothes gently and hang or drape the clothes to dry. I just pat their wings with a damp cloth. They probably need to be restrung by now. I should really sell them. I don't know why their value declined so much. Anyway I still love them.
That sounds like an excellent way to wash clothes! Thank you for watching and sharing!
Howdy Rachel,, thank you for posting this video today ... I'm not sure when you videoed the video I'm watching right now which is the one with Holland Diane the princess and Boss of the doll shop, in her blue jeans and of course Linda the dolly doctor as my grandchildren have nicknamed her was doing a great job on the dolls she was working with. And then there's the lucky man Stanley with the little princess and the vacuum cleaner. ... There for a few moments Holland Diane was trying to sing her favorite song,,, happy happy baby, until she was distracted by Grandma Diane peeking at her around the corner again. Well Rachel ,,, I'd love to sit and chat some more with you and the crew, but I have a six hour drive ,, here from Las Vegas to Reno Nevada to visit more grandkids and children. As a grandpa I love all my kids and my grandchildren and we like to tell you we love watching your videos especially when we can all get together at one place and accomplish this. Time now is 12:4 0 p.m. Thursday March 24th 2022.
Hope you and your family are doing great, Ronald!! Thank you so much!
I'm watching you from New Zealand
Here in the Netherlands💕💕
Always fun watching your vids. It relaxes me and I felt validated to be an unapologetic doll lover (I collect BJDs, Poppy Parkers and Barbies)
So glad. Thank you for watching!!
Greetings from Latvia!
Greetings!!
Rachel, I so LOVE seeing Holland Diane in every video:)!! I had a very rough day and Holland Diane just ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE:)!!! She looks so good in those jeans and that cute white shirt with ruffles with eyelets on them:)!! And Holland Diane has such a nice smile and a beautiful light in her eyes:)!!! Stan and Holland Diane look like besties just watching cartoons together which is absolutely priceless:)!!!! And I really LOVED the letter that your Mom wrote to her Friend Sally:)!! You resemble your Mom too:)!!! And I so Always enjoy watching Linda do her magic cleaning, pressing, altering doll clothing choosing clothes for the dolls, and doing the mohair eyelashes is really amazing:)!!! Linda is so talented:)!! And my favorite Dolls in this video are the German Head with Jumeau French body with the beautiful white lace dress and red bows that Linda picked out and I also LOVE that African American Doll standing next to her:)!! Linda does some beautiful work on all the Dolls:)!!!! And Rachel, I thought of you a few days ago when I was watching Antique Road Show on PBS and someone had a Martha Chase Doll:)!!!! I will have to read up on what Ruby Red said about Martha Chase because she sounds so interesting for a Woman Doll Designer of her time in the late 19th Century:)!!! Thank you Rachel for sharing Holland Diane's smile, Linda's work, and Stan's work with Holland Diane, which is a lot of fun too:)!!!!
Love your comments here, you are such a sweetie, thank you for watching and for all that you shared back to us.
I love dolls and I'm from Kentucky
Awesome, thanks for tuning in!!
What else can gojo work on? Wood? Compo? Thanks
We use it on composition bodies most of the time!
Hi Rachel, I'm still looking for a place to repair my doll. Saludos desde Seattle, WA
Hi! The hospital locator on the Doll Doctor’s Association website is the place to look.
Susie Hurst Hart from Anderson, IN. New Subscriber. Love dolls.
Thank you for subscribing!!
Yes, baby toes are great. It is how I will introduce myself to a new baby. When the parent says it is OK to approach the baby, I will touch/tickle the toes, while I say hello and other greetings.
That’s a good idea!
Hi Rachel, I just discovered your channel. I see you do a lot of repairs for porcelain dolls . I just bought a doll at Goodwill made by Betty Jame Carter dolls
she's number 54 out of 250 made in 1994 can you please tell me more about her I'm thinking about changing her wig.
Hi! Thanks so much for watching our videos, I’m glad you found us. We specialize in antique and vintage, prior to 1950. If I was researching your doll, I would put her name and maker into google and see what it comes up with. I don’t know anything about her off the top of my head.
We’re going to make a phone call with those 🦶 🤣🤣 you’re so funny and I love your videos.

I am so sorry about the nasty comment. Holland is so beautiful, and she looks like you when you were a baby. I would love to see a side by side. Off-subject, sorry, could you tell me what program you edit with? You have beautiful editing skills. Thank you. hugs to all of you.
Thank you, at least we got a good laugh out of it! I have an editor, I wish I could edit this well. He uses Final Cut Pro, I bought the program to try it myself about a year ago and couldn't. Before that, I did very basic editing with Movavi.
@@RachelHoffmanDolls Thank you so much.❤️
Love baby toes, too.
The baby has the beautiful complexion of a porcelain doll.
Thank you!

I meant "teddy".
Sorry.
