Such a little cutie! Wouldn't she look fantastic placed next to a clear Christmas candy dish filled with ribbon candies and peppermint sticks? Candy has deep green eyes and her lovely diagonal stripe dress has oversize puff sleeves with a second puff all the way to the lace trimmed turned-up cuffs! Her apron'curved hem with tiny, green embroidered edging is embellished with asymmetrical holiday candy motifs and has a side offset, embroidered bow near the waistline. Waist is accented by a wide satin sash with oversize back bow. Sliver thin matching bows are found at mid-length on the sleeves, in her hair and at neckline. Her plush red velvet slip on shoes complete her festive look. She is complement doll to Lil Christmas Cookie, which I am also featuring... they look sweet together.

MY MISSION: I provide a doll for you that is fully ready for display on arrival at your home, beautiful and sturdy. Any flaws I detect which I could not remedy will be documented in the listing and doll priced accordingly. I keep extensive computer files on each listing with doll and box images.)The boxes, being the original homes for the dolls, are in variable condition, dependent on the original owner's care and storage. I will always mention box condition with the listing, or sleep eyes that open manually.

MY PROCESS: I remove from the box to re-style the hair and inspect/correct for anything that might be remiss. I feel this step is more important than listing "never removed from box." My patrons will know there will be no loose snaps, no tangled locks, damaged apron strings, no fragile, weakened rubber bands, ( I re-string when needed) no stained or faded clothing or problems with undergarments, no necklaces trapped in the neck or tresses. I restring with elastic cord, the preferred archival choice of "doll doctors."

MY PRICES: I calculate on: How readily available (or, conversely, hard to find,) whether complete with all accessories, my costs, my labor, condition of restored doll returned to box after completing the work. To include a doll stand with your order, please add $1.00 to your total. Bear in mind that restringing a doll adds value.
