The Doll Maker has
gained wide acclaim for its magical collection of porcelain
dolls. Linda M. Rick (see photo, above), who is the doll maker
herself, explains that since she was a little girl, she has
believed in fairy tales and far-away places where her dolls
would come to life and play. She says, "It is the collectors
that have truly inspired all the sweetness in my dolls, and
I sincerely thank you for believing in my fairy tale."
Besides the basic collection of porcelain
dolls, The Doll Maker offers a beautiful line of vinyl dolls
known as Lovee dolls, as well as a special collection
known as The Doll Maker and Friends. This collection
includes the work of many of Linda's friends in the doll-making
community, including Denise McMillian, Bonnie Chyle, Rose
Marie Strydom, Diane Bucki, and Beverly Stoehr.
In January 2006, The Doll Maker, working
in collaboration with Lee Middleton's daughter, Brynn, introduced
an exciting new line known as Lee Middleton Moments. These
are based on the late Lee Middleton's original sculpts, with
Linda applying her own special touch.
