Laura: Hi Mary, it's me Laura. LOVE....LOVE...LOVE YOUR DOLLS. I'm the one that bought the Cecilia w/trunk doll signed by you, and as I mentioned to you she is just so beautiful. I also have a few more of your wonderful Bru dolls. The dolls in this album are so extrodinary. Wish I could buy them all. God sure knew what He was doing when He gave us you. He gave you the talent and you share it with us. I am saving up for more of your beauties and keeping my eyes and ears alert. Hoping you find another factory soon so we all can enjoy more of your wonderful works of art. God Bless. By the way, you have two beautiful grandbabies. Blessings all around.

When my granddaughter reaches 21 I will share ONE doll, lol... THANK you for fulfilling that need in me for something frilly and delicate, lol... I am very glad that you are using your artistic talent for something so lovely that can be shared !

September 16, 2004 6:38PM

Becky: Why do they not have your Bru bride doll pictured on HSN, they have had the doll available for a while now on the website, but no picture. Whats up with that???????
September 9, 2004 6:57PM

Becky: I was wandering if Emily Te'Te' Jumeau will become a production doll. I see you are apparently going with production with Heartland Mint Inc. Good for you!!!!!!!! Maybe this vendor will give you the proper representation that your work rightfully deserves. I was so upset when I saw that Helene & Ninnette would not go into production, those dolls were, as usual works of art that I would have loved to add to my collection. Anyways let me know about Emily

Gilda Skinner: Dear Mary and Alan, you have mastered the art of reproductions beautifully, you have impecible taste and the dolls are of the highest quality. It does me proud to visit your site and when in the states at July/ Aug would love to meet you. Presentation is of the finest essence and all I can say is you do it so well. I congratulate you on your fine work and who knows maybe one day my dolls may be able to compete with yours, you inspire to lead and that is what doll collecting is all about as the art of dolls is dying and we must rekindle the flame wherever we are Most sincerely Gilda Skinner

I have a few of my grandmother's dolls but their once beautiful clothes have deteriorated over time--unwrapping Collette gave me a glimpse of how my grandmother's dolls must have looked. Your attention to detail is equisite, and I love her delicate face and bouncy curls. Thank you so much for making my day! Sally from NYC P.S. I would love to be added to your Ebay list!

Linda Jin: What can I say dear friend....you know how I feel about your dolls they are the BEST,no other artist comes close as far as Im concerned. And your attention to detail is what makes all the difference. I LOVE my Holly, Ariel, and now Cassidy, they are by far my favorite dolls and I will treasure they always, espcially because you created them. Sometimes I feel you are much too modest.......you have such a God given talent and your dolls are truly works of art. I feel so preveledged to own your dolls and to have them showcasing my home and also to have you as my very dear friend, to share all other things with too...... I Love you, Linda Jin

Barbara Stilwell: Mary, What a wonderful time I just had viewing all your dolls. I have Aubrey, Jillian, and Maragret displayed in my home and the joy they bring are just unbelieveable. Collette is on order and I can't wait to have her at home. What wonderful news to know that we will now be able to purchase "Mary Benner" dolls on HSN!! I will be ordering Madison and Chole as soon as they become available. Can you let us girls know when the airing date will be so that we don't miss these shows? Will both Madison and Chole be out at the same time? I know your also responsible for many of the beautiful P. Loveless dolls that I own. Doll collecting only get's better when we get to have more Mary Benner dolls. Keep up the wonderful work and I hope to one day own one of your original dolls. Barbara

Virginia Castillejo: Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!! I love them all, Mary! I have Marie Osmond's Aubrey and Margaret, Bru that you sculpted and you graciously signed their COA's which I sent. Now I would love an original. I am drawn to the redheads, as that is my coloring, so CHOLE, your Victorian girl is calling my name. Is she available and if so what is her cost? Also, what are your layaway options? Any other redheads in the making? Thanks so much!! Virginia
