Diane's Dolls & Bears 
We purchased one of the twins from the Carrie and Christopher twins.
my grandma has the twins and my little girl loves to play with them, so my grandma wanted to purchase some of her own so they can play together.
the doll is perfect and they have shared many games and allowed my grandma to rekindle some old memories x

Diane repaired the arms and eyes on my 1959 Christmas Fairy Doll. I am delighted with the work she has carried out. My doll just needs a new dress to make her ready for Christmas 2024. Diane’s work was excellent and her service speedy. Thank you Diane.

Diane, you did an absolutely beautiful job on my 97 year old grandmother’s doll. Your communication and service were excellent and you took great care of the incredibly precious and priceless ‘Jean’. The work you completed was outstanding and worth every penny. You made my grandmother’s wish of having her baby doll, mended as a doll that could be held and cherished, come true. You are wonderful, thank you, Victoria

While moving house, I found my sad and neglected Sasha dolls in the attic. I nearly gave up on them but after discussing things with Diane, felt a makeover was worth it. She put new wigs on both my girls and gave them a restring. I think they actually have nicer hair and look better than they did when they were new! It wasn’t as expensive as you might think, and communication with Diane was excellent and to the point. Highly recommended!

Would highly recommend Diane. Did a great job with my 70 year old Roddy dolly. Put her back together and now she looks like new. Also it was very easy to send her off and she was back home very quickly.

I had a 65 year old Black doll that was in dire need of repair and some TLC. I contacted Diane she was so quick to respond and looked after my precious doll so well, she was back to me within the week. She looks absolutely fantastic you would not think she has been repaired. It’s such a great feeling to have her mended as now I can have her on display, she will definitely help me and my family share many memories I am so grateful to Diane, she has done a wonderful job. Would highly recommend her thank you so much .
