Someone once said, Bonnie's dolls look so real they seem to breathe. Being the designer of hundreds of dolls - some much better than others - I can tell you they do have heart. They love back without asking.
Many signs lead me to the idea of the Fall Fashion Show and Boutique. On a Wednesday this summer Zinny and Eva measured all the dolls and made careful pencil lists of their sizes. More and more customers are asking for outfit switches on their look alike doll. A couple of moms suggested their little Bundle moms wanted to change outfits and dress their girl at bedtime. Then there is that absolute love I have working with children and dolls.

That's a good thing. We know they return for many reasons. Quality. Originality. Ageless appeal. An addition to the family. Color and variety. Yes, some must come back to use their 10% Customer Appreciation Award. They purchase and get another certificate. Pretty good. Thankfully Bonnie's Bundles are not American Girl dolls, but are made in Vermont, not China. We can make a lookalike but he or she will be soft and lovable and even washable and guaranteed for a lifetime. The truth is my team and I make incredible dolls!
In the four plus decades, I estimate there have been about three hundred designs created. I am often asked to make a doll to look like a grandson or a daughter or even boyfriends! With a wee personality hint and a photograph, off I go. Keepers like Grace, Claire, Rachel and Owen were all created in pencil, a dab of Photoshop and once signed off - embroidery. So what's the rage all about?
