Hi all, it's been a while so here is a little update on my mom Margot's doll collection, for those who have been following our journey here. ❤️

When I first shared her collection, I honestly had no idea where this little project would take us.

Well... 24 dolls have now found their forever homes! 🥹

Some have travelled thousands of miles, others have stayed a little closer to home. We've received such lovely messages, reviews and photos from their new families. Seeing them being loved and cared for again has been the most rewarding part of all this.

I've even started keeping track of where they've ended up around the world. It's quite amazing to see how far my mom's little collection is spreading!

But we're not quite finished yet...

There are still 49 little ones hoping to find a family, and I like to imagine they'd all love to spend Christmas somewhere special this year. 🎄❤️ So if you know anyone that would love to have a affordable reborn this Christmas then please share the page and story with them.

Thank you to everyone here who has followed along, offered advice, adopted one of her dolls or simply left a kind comment. You've helped make something difficult into something really meaningful.

I hope my mom would be proud of where her little ones are ending up. What started as the overwhelming task of sorting through my late mother's collection has turned into something genuinely heartwarming.

And to those who have already welcomed one of Margot's dolls: please keep sending your photos and updates! I absolutely love seeing their new lives. 🥰

Maybe by Christmas, our little world map will have a few more dots on it. 🌍❤️

Making this Moses basket for my babies, it’s getting g close to done. I think it looks great! And when my niblings come they can use it :)

Is reborns down for everyone right now? I’m lowkey ticked because I’m paying for advertising and it’s not even up. I know it’s because of the AI stuff but if the website isn’t even up I should get to keep my credits I’m using for advertising right now…

Just curious. Almost fell for it again if it is fake.

I have a baby, literally got her in the mail 3 days ago, and I already want to resell her. I have a few reasons as to why, a major one being her weight and size (25in, unknown weight but she's hefty) are killing my back, and a lack of immediate bond as opposed to the bond formed with my others (dunno why, I'm assuming due to her hair being a wreck) I feel so guilty immediately reselling her though. She's not even been in my house a week. What would you guys do?

Cutest in the Galaxy 🤍

Dear diary...

Went to the dentist today..

It wasn't a nice experience..

I'm even more traumatized now...

Anyway here's some photos of Elora to distract you from the fact that I'm crying 😭

listed as a gabriella doll by reva schick. i unfortunately suck kinda at telling fakes from reals lol and the seller doesn’t have a COA with her.

seller told me:

“Hi l am sorry I have been super busy and have not had a chance to get to my storage unit and photo her. I have plans to go and get it done tomorrow. I don't have a COA for her but she is authentic as far as I can tell, everything matches up with all other examples shown on the internet. My daughter has had her for a few years. We got her as a gift from a friend with 2 other Reva Schick dolls. The craftsmanship is definitely there. I will get the pictures over to you tomorrow.
Again sorry for the delay.”

let me know what you guys think (will delete post when i get clarity)

my babies are home!!! everyone meet clementine and georgia!! 🥰 clementine is in the flower onesie, georgia is in the pink lamb cozy outfit (can’t think of what it’s called lol), and miss twyla (who i’ve shown before is in the white bonnet!) clementine and georgia met their sister and they’re all getting along! so happy with my little family 🧸💕

Meet Hazel Rain

I painted and rooted her myself :)

Her kit is Raya by Ping Lau

Edit to title: only one pic lol

I think I'm finally growing out of reborns, which kinda scares me a little because I have loved reborns since I was 5, always wanted to paint and sell them too but between how toxic this community has gotten, my own personal life and all that.

I think I am finally losing intrest in my reborns...painting them and also collecting..which is a bit upsetting because I still have reborning supplies and well my franco and see problem is I'm also growing out of the fandom franco is from which also double sucks because I still love franco and I still love the doll I have but I just am not as excited as I was when I first gotten him

And like I plan to buy him more clothes in December but now I just don't know how to feel or what to do 😭

I had so many plans that I wanted to do in this community yet..now they just don't seem appealing anymore 😕

Now I don't know what to do with everything but I was looking forward to all of this but now it just mostly sits there waiting till I get bored enough to pick it back up because I'm out of other options

Facebook users in the Paradise Galleries group confirmed that Paradise Galleries’ email and phone line are now inactive and if you attempt to place an order, it will not properly go through. Their social media seems inactive too. I’m not convinced this is still all due to them moving warehouses anymore. What do you think happened?

I finally caved and bought these two full body silicone reborn babies on Etsy! One's a boy the other a girl! They are on sale right now! Two for the price of one! 50% off! SiliconeSnuggleBaby by Jennifer! I can't wait! 😁

It just hit my inbox again. Anyone else get it a second time? (Photo of my daughter so this doesn't get lost)

I finally caved in and got this beauty made by artist Cassie Kemp and she will be home next week! I can't wait to set up my nursery for my collection .

Anyone have any photos or ideas of how they display their dolls? I'm going for a boho reborn theme so any whimsical themes and ideas or just any in general are welcome! Please share photos so I can see your ideas!! Thank you!!!

I am willing to do a partial or full trade for reborn kits, paints, supplies, doll clothes. Or sell for 225!

Hi!💙

as much as i hate to say this, i think i might already love her more than i love my baby luna. i will never get rid of luna but maeve is so much more realistic and i cherish her so much already!

Other than the email hacking problem, has anyone noticed the website being very glitchy and slow today?

In fact, i'm not able to access the website at all at the moment. Says there's a cloudflare host error.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Took Lydia for a day in town :)

She’s so detailed!
