They are all hand crafted. About 90% of my creations are hand stitched, only using a Sewing Machine when doing repeated 'socks' or tails. Its very time consuming and sometimes takes a week or even up to a month sometimes to complete, spending a few hours on them in between taking care of my mother. I work as a Live-In-Aide for my mom and my creations are like a second full time job. You won't find this quality in Mass produced items. I use quality materials. I make sure the fur I use is the best in quality. This also goes for Jewels, Wire, and any accessories made with them. One of a Kind items that are made Just for you are often needed to be made with new patterns and sculpts. This insures that your item is specifically for you, and no one else has one like it!

Yes. I live with my mother to help her, she has degenerative spine and rheumatoid arthritis. She is a smoker, and can't leave the house to smoke outside. I try my hardest to let it air out and febreeze it before I ship it out to you, but if you have an allergy to cigarette smoke please be aware.

My direct answer will always be no. These dolls have small parts that can easily tear off that your child may choke on or harm themselves with. However- every child is different. My 2 year old nephew takes better care of his tablet then his mother (sorry sis!) so your child may do better with it then others. So please take in consider how your child is before purchasing.

I try my hardest to make sure these dolls will last with age. However since they are handmade they are still delicate. Please take care of the faces, as even though I coat them in a protective sealer, scratching can occur. Please do not pull on whiskers or antennae- as they can possibly dislodge. The bodies have metal wire armature, and excessive posing may weaken the wire over the years. Surface wash only.
