 | |  Is Spring Really Here? Everyone I know is ready for spring! Northern Iowa--along with the rest of the country--has had a rough winter! Warmer temperatures, melting snow, and the robins returning are all good signs that spring is right around the corner. I've even noticed a little bit of 'green' that was under the snow anxiously waiting for sunshine and warmth. A new season--especially spring--can bring out new ideas and creativity. Be creative this spring and design your own doll or teddy bear. We have reborning supplies if designing a one-of-a-kind doll interests you, or beautiful mohair and glass eyes if teddy bears are your interest. If you don't see what you need--ask us--we would be happy to try and get it for you! Keep Checking for New Items! The delivery truck has come and gone, but we are still unpacking boxes of vinyl dolls, doll heads & faces. Keep checking the 'New Items' section of our website as we keep adding to our inventory. Porcelain pieces--smaller heads & hands--are next to be unpacked! |

 DOLL TIPS How to Measure For Doll Shoes Measure your doll's bare foot from heel to toe, then add 1/8". If the ball of your doll's foot is distinctly wider than the heel, you may need to get one size larger. It is best to use baby shoes for your baby doll. These shoes are made wider for their 'chubby' feet. Here are some popular doll shoe sizes: Ginny - 1" (Approx. 25mm) Madame Alexander - 1 1/4" (Approx. 28mm) Bleuette - 1 1/2" (Approx. 37mm) 15" Bitty Baby - 2 3/4" (Approx. 68mm) 18" American Girl & Springfield Collection - 2 3/4" - 3" (Approx. 68-77mm) 22" Apple Valley - 3 3/8" (Approx. 85mm) 23" My Twinn - 3 7/8" (Approx. 98mm) *1" = 25.4 millimeters |
 TEDDY BEAR TIPS Your Teddy Bear Eyes You can give your teddy bear different looks just by the placement and size of the eyes. We have test eyes available to make these decisions easier--6, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16mm black glass eyes come in packages of two, or you can purchase all six pair to experiment and determine what size you like best. It's amazing how your teddy bear's personality will change by placement and size of the eyes! |
