Diane’s Dolls – I can’t recommend highly enough, if I could give 10 stars I would. Diane is fast to answer messages, extremely accommodating and the quality of her antique teddy bears is amazing! Posted out exactly when promised to ensure delivery before the birthday date required, well wrapped, opening my parcel was a delight! Don’t buy from anyone else – Diane is the best!

Thank you Diane for re stringing my daughter’s 35 year old Sasha Doll. She looks amazing once again and you gave such a fantastic service. I would certainly recommend you. From my first message to you with your helpful advice and the keeping in touch throughout the process all which gave me confidence that Sasha was in safe hands. An excellent, professional and caring service.
