Dear Mary, How are you? I'm sorry for late email you of my large Bru. Yesterday I got her doll stand and Bru repro-shoes just maching her, so took pics today. I attach a zip folder, but don't have skill taking photos, so please don't compare with photos by your husband (smile). Her dress is an antique real child's, all silk material with sheer netting silk lace and taffeta ribbon. Pale yellow is really matching her! I made her headpiece from antique silk satin ribbon and corsage (fragile rose is so big, nearly same size as her face!). I gave a present to her an victorian estate gold brooch. Her underwears are all antique, sheer cotton with lovely lace. Her knitting socks are vintage, and her leather shoes are Bru repro made by Greta Smith. I think real antique costumes are match her well. I always look at her gorgeous face, beautiful bisque hands, always feel so happy. How beautiful she is!!!  Mary, thank you so much for making my treasure!!! I'm so glad to get her and  respect your works. Have a happy weekend! 

Warm regards, *A*

Hello. The dolls arrived this morning in perfect shape. They are splendid and so much more beautiful than on the pictures. I infinitely thank you for making us share your talent. I saw Sarah and Abigaïl on your site and I find them exceptional. With all my admiration and my warmest regards,  Gerard Duquet
