WOW!! This made my day & made my eyes leak ;)

I have had such a time lately with crazy people on eBay that I was getting discouraged.  Then I get this message on my Lil Sugar's by Jo FB Artist page...


Hi, I am the lady who purchased baby Darren. I am new to reborn collecting and this will be my second baby.  I purchased my 1st baby from XXXX XXXX Nursery and let’s just say she is back in the box.  Why? Because she scared my grandchildren. I thought I was getting the baby in the picture but instead I got a prototype that did not even look like a reborn much less the picture. I was unaware that artist can post pictures of other people’s works but their talent falls short.  And the dolls hair shed everywhere.  I am surprise she did not arrive bald.  It was a lesson learned.  I took a chance purchasing baby Darren from a lady on eBay.  She said the pictures were those of the actual baby but was unable to return it due to the no return policy.  I did not know who the original artist was until my daughter received the box, opened it, took pictures and sent it to me since I am overseas on assignment.  She stated that this baby looked so real that her husband came home and asked whose baby she was watching. Once she told him it was not real, he inspected it and said the the artistry was brilliant and if they took the baby to the store, it will fool people.  Even my grand babies are in love with this baby.  They did not want to put it down. My granddaughter even wanted to change his nappy and give him a bottle.  She just made 3.  I asked my daughter to rate the baby on a scale of 1 to 10 for realism and she gave it a 9 only because the hair was painted.  She said that If the baby had real hair, she would give it an 11.  I will attest that Lil Sugar by Jo is an authentic artist, the real deal, and from what I can see in the website, affordable.  Her babies are worth the money.  I can’t wait to get home and hold this baby.  Thank you so much Jo.  You restored my faith in the reborn business.

Here are the photos she sent me of my Realborn Darren & her Grandchildren, priceless...

You are welcome!
It's a shame when people don't walk with integrity and then the whole Reborn Community is judged by the select few. I'm so glad she purchased Darren and by doing so restored her trust back into the Community

Oh Jo... such a beautiful story...

Your Babies are so perfectly special...

I’m so happy this family appreciate all you do !
