I enjoy caffeinated coffee in the morning and decaffeinated iced tea in the afternoon.The Raggedy Ann and Andy are so precious.

Thanks so much for sharing Rachel! I love your doll videos and I think its so cool you have Paul and Christopher to help you in your new adventures. I love all dolls, the antiques and Barbies. Love those Raggedys so much. Looking forward to all your videos. My best to you all.

Loved the chats Rachel, the raggedys are really sweet, they look like they we're much loved.

I love the raggedy dolls! They look so happy! I can’t wait for your next video!

I can’t help but get teary eyed about Stanley- he was like everyone’s grandpa. Just really missing him. 😢 sorry trying to be strong. ❤ So glad Christopher is there - you two make a great team.

Listening to the catch up while crocheting some retro daisy grannies, the cake saga was a riot! That cake is as old as me .Raggedy Andy and Annie are real cuuuute

Handmade early - vintage Raggedy pairs have always been my favorites.

Hi Rachel. I Love the catch up video. 💕The raggedy dolls are so charming! It’s wonderful to hear you mention Linda and Stanley. I’m glad they are both doing well. I always enjoy your content and am continually inspired by all that you do. I enjoy collecting and thrifting old dolls. I also love playing with my Ellowyne, Neema and Grace dolls. It sometimes feels like I have a little imaginary doll shop in my own home. 🙏🥰

Finally got a chance to watch this. After work, eating my spaghetti, great way to end the day watching your video. I’m glad to hear another VDC is in the works; I enjoy them so much. ❤️

I love your videos. I feel a part of the doll community thru your videos and have learned so much! I hope someday to own a Neema or Ellowyne doll. I think they are beautiful dolls. 💗

LOVE!!! Raggedy Ann & Andy are such precious dolls. They bring me back to my childhood. Thank you for sharing this!

I'm working on my book donation for the PNWBJD Expo and I started a mushroom drink and cut way back on my coffee a month ago. What a difference those mushrooms have made, wow!

Thanks for sharing your precious time with us today! You are so inspiring!❤️take care

I usually have your videos on in the background as i am fulfilling mineral, crystal and gemstone orders at our warehouse. You are the perfect companion to working, because you guys are always working too. So it's like we are all working together! I am on the Ellowyn subscribtion waiting list, and i am so excited to be able to join!

Wow are those like the 1915 to 1920s raggedy ann dolls i think there call volland raggedy dolls butt your very lucky to have theme 😊🎉

LOVE this, missed it !

Энди и его подружка, просто замечательные, да они стали убежищем для жучков, но они сохраняться благодаря вам Рэйчел🎉❤Желаю процветания вашему магазинчику антикварных кукол!!! ❤❤❤

Haha! You cut the cake and I saw the blue-green interior a nanosecond before you said, "It's foam!" and at the same time I said " EUW! " Small person, who turned 8 last Friday, also said at the same time, " I wish my birthday cake could have been blue and crunchy inside like that! " Perhaps he and Christopher have different taste in baked goods? Love the new Raggedies😊. I miss Linda and Stanley on his play dates with Holland Diane. I hope they are both loving their new lives. I hadn't realised Ernesto had left too. What a month of upheaval that must have been for you. Thank you for all the updates and news.

Hi Rachel! I'm doing okay. Missing my grandma who died in November. Her birthday is Saturday. She would've been 98. She was also a doll collector. I'm still a coffee drinker, but the mushroom tea looks interesting. Right now I'm watching you with a glass of wine. Ha. Love your great videos and all you, Christopher, and Paul do for the doll community! Went to a doll show this past weekend in Fletcher, NC. Had a great time. Love your Raggedy Anns!

It's a good day! I bought new computers and am taking a "video break" before I get back to configuring the new ones. Thanks for the break!

Hi Rachel🤗 30 years old , but still...CAKE! 😂 Me? Frustrated with my amateur mini making! I love coffee and wouldn't turn it in to mushrooms lol but I will be looking up and trying out the Hungarian mushroom recipe 😋 Always enjoy a chat with you. Enjoy all your dolly life! I feel motivated and refreshed after watching you 🥰✨

I love Raggedy Ann and Andy - wish I hadn't sold mine all those years ago when I was thought I was too old for them...

Rachel, Sorry to be 5 days late with commenting, but I really enjoyed your Catch-Up Chat🤗🤗 and I so LOVE your adorable handmade Raggedy Andy❤💙 and Raggedy Ann Dolls❤💙!! I know that your handmade Raggedy Andy❤💙 and Raggedy Ann Dolls ❤💙are being given a good home at your Doll Shop🤗🤗!! And I too miss Stanley and Linda😢😢, but I wish them well and 🙏I pray that all good things will happen for them🙏!!! And it is interesting that you drink Teeccino Tea because I recently found Vanilla Nut and Dandelion Caramel Nut in Teeccino Tea, which are delicious dessert teas with Prebiotics in them😃😃!!! However, I need some Coffee and Coffee experts claim can prevent Alzheimer's Disease which is in both sides of my family. And that cake🎂,I cracked up laughing when Paul said, "Some things get better with age" and Christopher said, "Like Milk"😂😂😁😁🙃🙃!!! I am glad that you are keeping the 🎂foam cakes🎂 that your Mom used in photo shoots for a Doll Magazine !! And as far as myself, I am hanging in there with my own health issues and I am concerned about my Mom having swallowing problems, but I do LOVE my new Apartment that I have now been living in since Aug 7th!! And Rachel, I am so enjoying all your videos with Christopher and Paul in them too😃😃💯💯!! Both Christopher and Paul are really talented Workers that add more fun and magic to your Doll Shop😃😃💯💯!! And Rachel, I am so happy for you that you are blessed with such a 👶lovely little girl like Holland Diane🧸👶, a wonderful Man like Derrick, and you are such a down to earth and a creative as much as talented Business Woman🤗🤗🤗🤗!! And I would suggest, if possible for people like myself who can not travel to Missouri or Ohio, it would be nice if you could make a few videos on some of the Doll Convention at these places. Rachel, I so look forward to ALL your videos on the Dolls💖💖💖💖💖 and videos updating up us on how you are doing💖💖💖💖💖!!

I am eating my fav.... COTTON CANDY CHOCOLATE. ❤ Thanks 4 sharing the video, its the highlight of my day. ❤

Thank you for working so hard for us to enjoy our dolls.

I love it talking about dolls despite me in a poor state of Newark New Jersey but still love hearing about the older dolls i can’t afford yes I enjoyed this video can’t wait for more 🥰🧸🧸🧸

THOSE RAGGEDIES ARE SOME OF THE MOST PRECIOUS THINGS IVE EVER SEEN 🥹🥹

Hilarious: viral cake, mushroom coffee, big bugs, lean cuisine and frozen teddy bears. LOL, I think a Tik Tok about the bug and what to do with bugs and the dolls and teddybears in freezer with lean cuisine would be educational for doll collectors and maybe go viral too, hilarious but also needed!! Not composition dolls in freezer I would think. I have bought newer and older dolls and well played with and just washing the matted hair and washing the clothes out found some strange things. Chickory root coffee has been used as a coffee replacement for generations. I think Trader Joe's has it. I love Trader Joe's too. My parents introduced Trader Joe's to me maybe 30 years ago here in California or more? I also buy French Roast or Italian Coffee and others that are good decaffeinated brands of ground coffee beans. I don't know if you can grind coffee beans at Trader Joe's? (Maybe before covid?) I understand about your world changing so quickly with loosing your mom and then people considered family, Stanley, Linda and Ernesto moving on. Wonderful Christopher, Paul, your husband, daughter, dad, and others and your viewers are here but such major changes are upsetting but comforting to know you have a good support team now too. Your videos are entertaining and true life. You ought to be on TLC, lol. I think they ought to change their name though because it is more like reality TV than a learning channel. I have had viral pneumonia for a month which is so frustrating. Just want to be done with being sick. Thank you for your inspiration and really positive uplifting energy to help others stay focused too. Love your channel. I need to go on Instagram. My son is helping me set up. My sons are your age. I used to be computer savvy but everything moves fast so glad I am having some help. I have wanted to share and do more for a long time and hearing about your mom and your life and to go for our dreams is so helpful. ♥️ I love herbal teas. Oh also Good Earth original tea I used to go to the Good Earth Restaurant for breakfast when I was pregnant and when my kids were young. They had awesome food. Starbucks I've bought Chai and also have found pre-made Chai. I want to try Matcha and mushroom coffee but think I need to purchase it from a place like Starbucks or Whole Foods, someplace that knows how to make it first. I haven't been out much but feel inspired to go get some peppermint tea and ginger teas. Thank you for your channel!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Never giving up my morning coffee either, but in the afternoons I sometimes have a dandelion dark roast tea, by that same maker, Teeccino, as your mushroom tea. This dandelion blend has a coffee flavor. It’s pretty good!😊

"to do something great it takes a lot of time dedication, & hours." Yes. I needed to hear that today. Nothing good comes easy. Hugs 🤗💚

Great catch up 😀

Love it...good luck with the new coffee alternative. Our son (an AF veteran) sells "Mushroom Cloud" coffee in San Antonio/Austin Texas area which is instant coffee from mushrooms! Supposedly a healthier alternative. Let us know what you think in a week or so. Great video...still laughing about the cakes!

I am sensitive to caffeine, and I recently found out it has at least a 5-hour half-life, which means having caffeine in the afternoon can interfere with sleep. I mainly drink tea or a bit of coffee in the morning, then I have a good decaf that I fresh grind and make in my French press later in the day. I also drink rooibos and other herbal tea.

I am BBQ Lamb chops for lunches during the week Temp -16 C and Sunny Cheers from Calgary Canada

💜:)

Another KZfaqrs actually cut an actual old cake! It was a bday one decorated after spiderman that was still in box

I missed the Hungarian mushroom soup and can’t see the link. Would love to try it. I did try the weight watchers vegetable soup and loved it….thanks 😊

I burst out laughing when I saw Christopher come out looking like a coal miner! Lolololololol

A true ‘sponge cake’ then? Do you call Victoria Sponge cake a sponge cake in America?

Lots of sugar and shorting (crisco).

Do not like mushrooms.
