  1. I have a 60’s Sasha doll that was in dire need of some TLC. Diane has been so quick to respond and looked after my girl so well, she is now back (within a week) and looking like new. It’s such a joy to have her mended and I’m so grateful I found Diane, as she has done a wonderful and sympathetic repair. Would highly recommend, thank you!
