I love Christopher. You found a gem to add to the team!

For several weeks now, I’ve been decluttering closets, etc. and organizing my doll collection. So, it was fun watching / listening to you and Christopher while I worked this afternoon! Thank you! And all the BEST!!! 🥰

I would be thrilled to be surounded by so many beautiful dolls and accessories ❤ Great video❤

You have such a wonderful smile Paul! It makes me smile even more! Love you and your sister and glad you're there to help her. Christopher makes me smile AND laugh...a LOT! And Rachel.... You honor all of us doll collectors with everything you do and your Mom would be SO proud that you and Paul are carrying on the tradition so successfully while at the same time, adapting to changes in technology, reaching out to people all over the world and making the business and traditions your own,

I am so excited to see you keeping with the antique and/while embracing the new and modern. Bravo! I love seeing Christopher working on antique dolls. YES!!!

What I love about doing faceups is being able to create a makeup look that will last a while at least. I love giving dolls faces. It gives them a character, and me in turn joy.

Hello Sweet Rachel! You and Christopher are so wonderful , I felt like I was there with you guys and wish I was there to help you with your cleaning and decluttering. I love you and want nothing but the best for you guys

Rachel, you are doing great. Your team is great. It will take the time it takes. Yes, you have to do the organizing carefully. Your shop has wonderful dolls. You are all doing great every day!

A bit emotional to see Christopher work like Linda did. It's wonderful! I'm sure you'll be relieved after your summer sale. Free space! I love to clean and sort things, and I'm sure many of us would be happy to give you a hand. I'm sure you'll figure everything out and slowly it will be nicely organized. Good luck with everything! I'll watch the video again tomorrow, so many things to see. Love the sewing machines, my grandmother was a dressmaker and told me so many stories about her work. I helped her with her sewing too, she taught me and I loved it. So many memories when I watch your machines. I'm sure that in a year from now, Christopher will be able to use them quite well. Good luck to Paul too! Would be fun to shoot a video in six months or one year, to fully enjoy the shop declutter. Thanks a lot and good luck guys!

This was so much fun, Oh how I wish I lived close enough to volunteer to come catalogue all those shoes for you! Please do more of these. It’s such a treat to get a glimpse into the inner workings.

Hi Rachel, Christopher and Paul. I really enjoyed getting to see the back of the shop again. I totally understand and appreciate the ebb and flow of your shop. You have to do what is right for you and your family. I think so many of us can relate to the side effect to collecting of having more stuff than can be easily organized. I wish I lived close enough to come help. I actually had a very interesting dream a few nights ago. I dreamt that I was in your shop with you and Christopher. You were working away and I was watching and learning. I was wanting to apply for a job but was too shy to ask. It was a wonderful dream. This video creates that feeling again. Thank you!💕🙏Now I am inspired to clean and declutter my own doll stuff!

Wow...great work. How rewarding it will be when all the organizing is done and your Estate Sale sounds wonderful too. I love seeing these kinds of videos and miss Linda's restorations. I'm glad to see Christopher is willing and learning how to do it with your expert guidance Rachel. Keep the videos coming...it's fun to watch and see all the dolls you have hiding in your wonderful store! P.S. Loved the styrofoam cake video......had me grossed out at first only to see it was doll props! :)

love this! it’s like i’m just hanging out with my besties talking dolls

I loved this type of video! So fun to see a behind the scenes type vibe of everything that goes into the business!

SO JEALOUS of the Featherweights! Loved watching Linda use them. Mine is a very prized possession.

Loved this video. I’m sitting here sewing an 1840’s style dress for an American Girl doll and it was killing me when you started talking about needing someone that sews. Working in a shop like this would be a dream!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your great project. I am busy sewing doll clothes and this video is like we are all in your doll shop working away!

Thank you for showing the miniature china head dolls. The first time seeing this show, I remembered my Grandmother had a few. While watching a second time, I decided to stop what I was doing and check out my Grandmother's doll. I got part of her collection, and there are 4 mini china head dolls. Oddly, one of them "spoke" to me. So I have pulled her out, and now she is on my desk. It is like my Grandmother is smiling with me.

Gawd, I would be in doll heaven! I would love to help, as I'm a real organizer. I've volunteered for the past 20 yrs at a resale charity shop and I just love keeping things organized. Wish I could visit your shop. I lived in Colorado Springs when I was a child. My dad wanted to get a ranch but my mother, being a city girl from London wouldn't have it. So enjoyed this video.

Love this channel love how u just take care of the dolls

This is so fun to see and so satisfying. Love watching your progress/process. Thanks for sharing this behind the scenes experience. I would love to be there helping. So many lovely treasures and so much fun.

Rachel, Paul, and Christopher, This video is ironic because this upcoming week, although I moved into my new apartment on Aug. 7th, I am now doing a Spring Cleaning with my Boyfriend's help because I have scoliosis and a herniated disc which causes back pain. I do not have as much stuff as you have in your store, but it is always an adventure to clean, especially for the lighter weight stuff, like Dolls and Teddy Bears that I clean!! I also use Myer's cleaners, but mine is multi-purpose, scented honeysuckle and it is really good for wood furniture!! And I so LOVE your Mom's large Teddy Bear🧸🐻 in the trailer❤❤❤❤❤!!! I also LOVE the stuff you found like the photo of Monica Doll trip to Grandma's house❤❤ because this Monica Doll looks like a cross between a Tony Doll and a Shirley Temple Dol❤❤❤l!! !And the photo of the 20" Monica Doll in her Debutante dress looks so stunningly beautiful💖💖💖💖💖!!! And @33:42 I so LOVE that beautiful 301 SFBJ Tete Jumeau Doll's sweet pretty face and her blue dress with white lace💙💙💙💙💙💙💙!!! And I so LOVE how Christopher fixed the Brue Doll's black skirt🖤🖤🖤!!! Rachel and Christopher, I would LOVE to see a video of when all the decluttering is done and not to worry, even if it takes months good videos are worth waiting for🤗🤗!!! Christopher is very artist and it would be really nice to have videos with Christopher once in a while restoring antique Dolls!!! And I so LOVE that Doll @ 1:16:44 with the pink dress, pink bonnet, and her curly blonde hair💖💖💖💖💖!!! Rachel, Paul, and Christopher, thank you for sharing some beautiful antique dolls and sharing your decluttering adventure😃😃!!!

All of you are doing a wonderful job! Enjoyed so much. Christopher is doing great bringing the dolls back to their beauty.

I would be canceling my plans for the week. It would be Disneyland for me to enter and see all these beautiful dolls.

Thank-you for making this much needed educational and informative video! I’ve always known and collected only modern dolls and had very little knowledge about antique dolls. Your video has awakened my appreciation for the artistry of antique dolls and their historical importance!

Loved this video so much, and your amazing work. I am learning to restore antique dolls so I loved Christopher working on them. The Bru and portrait Jumeau are adorable!! Hope to see all of you un a new vídeo cleaning, Sporting, restoring and the state sales that you will do. Thank you so much for all the ideas and inspiration, helps me a lot ❤️

Such love and care of these old dolls 🌼

I’m not a doll fan but I love antiques and vintage …truly loved the restoration and learning some interesting techniques and the tackle at decluttering a shop like this. My craft room feels like this but so much smaller…so I think I can tackle it now!

Love love this. Love the doll book. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoy your declutterring, inspiring me to do this too. I forget what I have collected and doing an inventory. Learning so much from you! Thank you!

Loved this video, can't wait to see how the doll turned out ❤

Thank you for sharing ! I would be in hog heaven going through all the drawers and boxes! I love antique dolls! I also have a lot of Tonner dolls from when he first made dolls around 20 years ago!

I really enjoyed the restauration. It's so cool to be able to save beautiful dolls and learn how to do it.

You are lovely, Rachel, It is a big deal,what you are doing. What the hardest part is making the Decision..then there is the actual work. I do appreciate your channel. I love the sights in your shop. You do all of this fun work..and a mom too. Lovely. Thank you.

Rachel and Christopher love the work you’re doing with the antique dolls. I have a few in my collection and love them all. Keep up the great work!

I've missed seeing antiques so much!😭😍

Oh my word! Where do I start. These have always been my favorite videos because they are so inspiring. I sew doll clothes by hand and have made a couple old fashioned patterns. I am always looking for them at thrift and antique shops. I am deeply impressed by Christopher's approach and inherent ability with the restoration. It's wonderful to see someone attending that position again. Also, Rachael, your love of dolls is so infectious and you bring us so much joy with your deep knowledge. Paul, I love that you are in the family business and such an integral part. This whole scenario just warms up my heart and makes me want to sew more and learn restoration of the clothing especially, but also the dolls. Thank you and love to you all!

This was great and fun to watch. 🙂

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved this video! Even though I’m in the UK, there is part of me that wants to get the next flight over to Colorado and help sort through with you - don’t worry I’m not actually going to turn up on your doorstep! I know how exciting sorting through things can be, when you find that amazing item you forgot you had. I also know it’s a lot of mental energy, trying to decide what to keep, what can go etc. particularly when the items have so many memories and emotions attached. One thing that really helped me when I was decluttering (not a doll shop, just my own stuff) was reading and using Maria Kondo’s method of asking “does this thing spark Joy”. Anyway, I’m sure you have your own great system for sorting. Despite the challenges, I know you will feel so much happier and lighter when you’ve sorted everything so I wish you all well with the project - also please do keep filming it because I just love to watch the process xx

Great video. I could watch this kind of content each week. Love it. You're all working together and showing us all these amazing dolls, clothes and wigs. When seeing this I want to declutter my craftroom too!

Yes Rachel. Just listing one or two items on eBay, as an example, can be time consuming let alone hundreds and thousands of items such as your shop has!

Oh, my all the lovely dolls. I wish I could come and sort your shoes and clothes.

You definitely help bring more interest to doll collecting! If I ever get to Colorado, I would come by and restring dolls all day just to meet all of you in person and be surrounded by all those gorgeous dolls! I need a Schoenhut hand if you come across any!

I love the "rare foamy doll". (wondering when I can get one. It's trendy and entertaining and only your people; us, would "get it" ) I wondered if you'd sold all those Chatty Cathy's. That was a FUN video!

I love the Bru cracks and all! She is beautiful!

A back up/ possible living arrangement is really smart and interesting

One of the best videos ever. I really enjoyed it. Very unusual.❤

You 3 made a big different to the space in the shop! Well Done

You could put the sewing samples in frames and display them above some of the antique dolls. Just an idea.😊

Great job! Guys🎉🎉

I would definitely like in your doll trailers, the chatty Cathy’s could keep me company! There were so many fun dolls I have never seen before in this video, It’s so fun learning about new dolls!

Rachel, you are such an inspiration to so many people! How wonderful to have found Christopher to work alongside you. His finesse and enthusiasm to learn new things and apply his talent to all things dolls is a Godsend. Having your brother there helping with his cheerful and sweet disposition must be very heartwarming as well. With the energy and positivity that you all exude I know you will get there! You have strength and determination and I know you will achieve your goals to organize everything and sell the extra things to all those people who just can’t wait !!! You will reinvent and revitalize your doll business as you go which is so exciting😁. We are all rooting for you and cheering you on as you continue to support and stimulate the doll world with your energy and creativity. Your mom is smiling😍. Love and blessings to you and your team.

Such a great video!! So happy the shop is thriving ❤❤❤

Wow, what a week you had!! Your shop is heaven!! Hugs from Italy!

Move somewhere else??? Noooooooo! This store is a major part of your family history and one of my favourite places on Earth, even though I will never be able to visit in person. I think Michael Canadas would be interested in seeing those very rare practice on paper pieces - they look fascinating, I'd like to see them too. I am about to order one of the antique sewing lesson card sets from Michael and David, to share with my grandson who is very interested in learning doll costuming skills. Has Christopher tried wrestling an antique lady doll wig yet? I'm guessing he'd be very skilled at it. Hi to Paul! It is always great to see him, he is such a cheery guy. He has made me really take an interest in the AG dolls, too. Yes, I would love to be there in your store to help, but I'd have to stop to look at everything, so would need to do a 24 hour shift to get much done😂. Thanks for a very interesting video Rachel. How's darling Holland Diane doing? I've not been around much recently - family health issues took over - so I have missed a lot of your news.

Where could we buy any of these dolls?

I'm excited for your estate sale. I'm a retired doll doctor wish I lived closer

I know she has damage but I am in love with the dark haired Bru

Congratulations you guys! You are doing a wonderful job organizing everything and its so good to see you back with the antique dolls. I am a doll restorer and I would like to say that I think with your guidance, Rachel, that Christopher definitely has the desire and talent to become an excellent doll restorer. I applaud the both of you for starting with the "easier" fixes and going forward learning as you go. I think it is so cool that you have Linda's videos to refer to and I just think you're doing a great job. Do you have Doll Restoration books that Christopher can take home and read to better acquaint himself with the techniques for restoring antique dolls? So helpful. Also, I want to ask you if you have a section of your store that is "as is" dolls for doll people that like to do their own repairs and doll dressing. Not everyone can afford pristine dolls or dolls that have already been repaired. Wishing you much luck and happiness with all you do. So glad Paul is working in the shop too. He really adds so much and I'm sure he is a huge help to ya''ll.

Really enjoyed this.👍

✨Will people who can't come to Denver for your estate sale also be able to purchase the lovely dolls and other items??❤️

Will we get to see those Chatty Cathys?!😍😍😍😍😍😍

Thanks for the inspiration, just cleaned out my walk in "doll" closet, they and boxes had taken over, lol.

Wonderful video!

I wish with all my heart.I lived near you and not.in the UK..I love a grand de clutter declutter

I’d rather a shop with just dolls thanks for your videos 🥰

That mannequin is so beautiful ❤

Well done!! I enjoyed everything❤️

keep going its gonna be great, but rome wasnt built in a day , and yes i would love to work here also a window dresser

Martha Pullen does good videos on antique clothing. One thing That is important with natural fibers to fibers is to soak them in tepid water. Change the water when need. Do not use detergent on them until they have soaked a water

What a fun satisfying video! Good job! Did I just catch a wonderful "Mein Liebling" at the very end?? Hate to suggest it, but maybe you could hire Theriault's to come and take all the antique dolls in boxes and drawers and sell them for you. Just a thought. Cash infusion.

I've seen that there is a Grrrip restock at Dollspart.

tell christopher tarantulas are just like little puppies lol i live in arizona they’re all over my farm in summer

When taking the dust off the clothes would light forced air work like the cans to clean your keyboard or do you think that would push the dust into the garment also?

Hello Rachel, I live in Germany and collect Monica dolls. I saw this book in the video with large photos. Could you please buy this book?

Ask Christopher if he dreams about dolls at night? Lol

It may well be hot and stuffy in the trailers at the height of summer just as it is cold in winter.

It is very hard with just 3 people.

christopher heaving lol

I WILL be honest with you guys......I think you can SHED the HEAD!

Okay, seeing the black body of the manikin in the background with the head peaking through on the shoulder of the manikin is freaking me out. 😅
