First, talented toy restorers Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch greet Deborah Aloba, who has brought her African-Caribbean doll Lulu to be fixed. Deborah was gifted the doll recently by her old friend Joy. Lulu originally belonged to Joy’s mother, who showed great kindness to Deborah when they were young women, always making her feel like one of the family. When Joy’s mother passed away, Joy knew how much Deborah loved the doll and decided to gift it to her. However, Lulu is now very fragile. Her head has had to be taped to her body, her red dress is ripped, and her face is chipped and scratched. Julie and Amanda take the little doll under their wings to make her beautiful again.

Deborah Aloba is one of the loveliest clients the show has ever had. What a sweet story.
