Awe...sweet rare finds! I can’t believe you found them with original clothing! Thank goodness for doll rescuers! 👍
Thank you 🤗
I love when Linda said,
“It takes time” ❤️
Think about it, it has taken over-eighty years to get all that dirt, lol. It’s going to take a while to get it out. ❤️
Yes! Completely agree. 💜
She has the best job! I would love to do doll restoration for a living!
Thanks for watching!
She is wonderful at any doll repair 😊
I use small baskets when I work on dolls. I place everything for each doll in its own basket for safe keeping❤
Awww Wishing Linda's mother Lavonne a wonderful and HAPPY 102 BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! She must be so humble if she doesn't know what all the "fuss" is about. Bless her!! (:
Thank you so much for watching!! XO
They're soooooo cute 😍 The reason why you have such an amazing team of people working for you is because you are an amazing boss. Thank you for another awesome upload xx
Thank you for your kind words!
I love the back room doll shop visits! It inspires me to try again on some dolls that need attention and are sitting in boxes.
Part of my problem is lack of space.
Anyway...it's just fun to see what's going on and be part of that world if only in a virtual manner.
I do like dressing the dolls, but it's kind of fun that you set it out for Linda, it doesn't seem like she minds.
Thank you as always for including us!
We appreciate you watching and enjoying!
So fun to watch the process. I use Goop on my vinyl dolls, another hand cleaner. Probably similar to gojo🙂
Glad you enjoyed seeing this!
Rachel Great video looking forward to seeing the end result Regards fro Calgary, Canada
Thank you for tuning in!
i found your channel and had to subscribe. i am a collecter of dolls and i love discovering new retro vintage and antique doll brands. and this is the first time im seeing the campbells soup dolls. ive only heard of them but never seen and i love how they kinda look like classic melody cartoon characters.
Thank you for the wonderful comment!
Rachel congrats on your big proffesional prodictions. Thank you for giving us the best.
Thank you so much!
Very informative. I have a Tiny Tears doll from the 1950s that has been packed away. I cleaned her body with mild soap but her face would not clean up (I believe the coloring from her synthetic hair has something to do with it). I will try the Gojo cream and obtain some 911.
Just ordered some! Have some dolls who need it!
Rachel asks " would you like to go see?......" and Little Ellen squeals "Yes Please" before the rest of the question is out ;-D Love you guys
Love you back!
I'm terrible about commenting, but trying to make more of an effort. I love your channel, so relaxing and enjoyable to watch, thank you so much for sharing and all that you do for the doll community (I'd love to see more of your photography set up if you ever have time or even better would be a segment on lighting for doll photography for any of your virtual conventions), :D
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks for the video and information as always Rachel!!! Beautiful decor btw!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
I have 2 of the Campbell Soup Kids that also have their labels. I believe mine are from the 1930's by Horsman. They are soooo adorable❣❣❣
How fun! Thanks for watching!
I appreciate everything you do in the doll community. I love watching your videos. I have learned so much. I do have a quick question. I have a beautiful composition Shirley Temple doll I bought for my mom. I wanted to gently clean it. In using Gojo, do you ever use a little water after applying Gojo, or do you just use a soft cloth to remove. I know water and composition don't always mix. But, I wasn't sure if the Gojo should be wiped off with a wet cloth. I wished your shop was closer to where I live.
Best wishes,
Rob
I adore these dolls. I bought the reproductions, they look the same and no crazing!
These dolls are bisque so they wouldn’t have crazing like on composition or do you mean the bodies of the dolls? Thanks for watching!
@@RachelHoffmanDolls No, just saying that I collect the 90's reproduction Campbell Kids and Patsys. In my old house I worry about composition. Would LOVE to be able to own a real antique bisque! On my bucket list.
Amazing!!!
I have a 30 year old doll, I think it I
BRAVISSIME ADORO IL VOSTRO CANALE MA PARLO SOLO ITALIANO.
COMPLIMENTI.
so cool!
Thank you!
If you used a high end scanner the label could be made much larger and framed...maybe with a pic of two dolls in the pic once restored.
Rachael, If I used 911 on my Horsman Doll from 1970 and my Uneeda Doll from 1967, would it help take off nail polish from the dolls eyes? When I was a Child, I put nail polish on their eye lids and lips as well as I pierced my Uneeda Dolls ears, on the Dolls! I so LOVE your Campbells Soup Dolls and I so appreciate the Gojo (original not the one with the girt) and Twin Pines 911 advice to clean antique dolls:)!! Oh, for the more modern dolls, to wash their hair, I would advise using Tresemme Conditioner because it gives the Dolls hair a beautiful shine:)!!! And I so LOVE Grace, with her adorable Christmas Hat:)!!
Thank you for chiming in and watching this video, we appreciate you!
I think it's very important how you clean & what you use .
💯💯💯💯
What is the difference between composite body, bisque and paper machete. I I have been tasked with all of my grandmother and mother's dolls from storage. Unfortunately some of the clothes have little holes in them and I'm debating whether to wash them or not. I wanted to make sure each doll had the right knowledge with it and I've gone online but I'm not sure whether the doll is paper mache or bisque some of them are cloth with like a plasticy kind of face. And some of them look like they're cement inside it's they're really weird and I'm finding it a little difficult to discern. So I'd like to have that answered if I if anybody knows thank you so much.
Love all the tips💕 how did Linda fill in the crazing on the leg (a little)?
You can use something like craze concealer: www.sandraleeproducts.com/item_13/Compo-Craze-Concealer.htm
Love the Campbell’s Soup kids
Thank you so much for watching!! XO
Hi Rachel, do you have a video on how to repair a compo eye socket that’s broken out. Also one on how to rebuild part of a foot that’s missing. Never done anything like this, but if it’s not too complicated I’d like to try.
HI! I do not have any videos on this but a great resource to find a doll doctor to help you is the Doll Doctor's Association: dolldoctorsassociation.com/
I found some old cloth dolls at a thrift store, but has stains on bodies. What would you suggest for cleaning?
We love products from DollsPart: dollspart.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=107&products_id=212&zenid=g13m9ismo9stt08ge3f409gch3
Just found you video! I have a 70 yr old Lady Alexander Nurse doll that I have carried with me ever place I moved. The last time I moved the doll had a dusty coating all over her body. Can I clean it with GoJo?
Yes, GoJo can be used to clean dolls, but you have to be very careful, especially with a vintage piece like your 70-year-old Madame Alexander Nurse doll. Ensure that the GoJo you're using doesn't contain any pumice or grit, as it could scratch or damage the doll's surface. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure there are no adverse reactions. After using GoJo, make sure to gently wipe off all residues with a clean cloth. If you're unsure or hesitant, it might be best to consult a doll restoration expert.
I have a compo doll i need to clean and need to buy GoJo. How do i know if the product has grit?
They have it with the grit and the normal without. Make sure to buy the original one. Also, if you bought the wrong one, you can feel the grit on your hand prior to using it.
I want to clean my mom's 1920s Nancy composition doll. Would you recommend using on her what worked on these?
Really enjoyed this! Thank you!
You could try “Craze Concealer” to start. Good luck with your projects!
@@RachelHoffmanDolls Thank you! I will need all the luck I can get. I am terrified I will make her look like an alien. 🛸
Hello everybody, does everybody know how to preserve a composition doll?, I had an effanbee doll but im so worry because i noticed that she is cracking, when i bought her she has some cracks, but yesterday i saw that the cracks were bigger, i don't know what to do, i've tried to do all the tips to preserve her that i've found in the internet, i would be very greatful if someone could help me
I bought a vintage doll ... from a shop .. the doll (face, hands, feet) can break so I cant leave in washing machine,. how to remove the smell? I left it outside in my windy garden now. maybe the wind gradually take the smell out? what to do?
We don’t wash anything in the washing machine. We soak with our Perk and Boost and air dry.
@@RachelHoffmanDolls thanks yeah I realised too it isn’t possible
What would you do about the crazing
We sometimes fill it. There’s a could TH-cam videos on this that we produced.
How do you get red ink marker off a vinyl doll. Thanks..
Try formula 911 from Dollspart website.
You can use pimple cream with benzoil peroxide
Does that take the stickiness off of the doll?
Formula 911 works great for taking sticky off dolls!!
I had Campbell soup dolls..
Fun!
I use it on vinyl.
Awesome!
Recuperando o ânimo de seres legais traz tranquilidade para a alma é zelo também, e tem como recriar dando forma com massa a um objeto que está antigo com o tempo interessante lustrar um tenis velho que você tem amor pelo uso ou então lustrar sua boneca é bem bacana 🧐 👍
Thank you for watching!
Is your gojo like the goop you know that hand cleaner goop it doesn't work like that
I am not sure, I think so actually!
Как бы мне хотелось иметь такую куколку😭
My husband said the same thing the other day and he call's it the black whole and it gobbles up everything he is still looking for his scissors'!
You’re in good company!
Why don't you use the white eraser that you use to crayon marks off your wall. I use this on my dolls and they clean up beautifully.
We have used them sometimes!
HO.PIU 3OO BAMBOLE .
ALCUNE DOVREI RESTAURARLE MA.NON CONOSCO I PRODOTTI CHE POTRI USARE.
ALCUNE LE HO ROVINATE PERCHÉ NON SONO BRAVA.
COMPLIMENTI BRAVISSIME.
Let us just watch Linda and learn! Why the constant narrating and self promotion? the commentary and tone is so grating, I had to put video on mute in order to follow this informative and careful work
Is there anything inherently wrong with self-promotion? As the owner of a business and a TH-cam channel that is quite expensive to maintain, it's important to prioritize promoting your brand. Everything I do costs a LOT of money, especially educational videos. Perhaps you have me confused with a non-profit entity?
