#3)  Why Should I Send A Photo And What Is The Special Crack Or Seam Split Technique All About?

We only ask this if you are able to do so.  We want to see your doll first to make sure that we will be able to restore her.  So far we have not turned away any doll and we have worked on many that were in pieces.  By the time Dr. Hubby finished with them, the doll was "Like-New" all over again.  Dr. Hubby has invented a technique to completely rid any indication on the outside of the Plastic doll that she had ever been cracked in any area of her torso or arms or legs.  We are thrilled with this technique . On Our Doll Hospital site located: http://saucywalkerdollhospital.com you can see photos of the difference in the Before And After results. Make Sure you click on the doll photos to see their web pages.  This technique is very time consuming and requires several days to complete.  It is much more difficult to do than simply applying a plastic compound to the cracked area or glue.  We guarantee the success of this technique and if your Baby from childhood is cracked in anyway on her Plastic body the time and the cost is worth more than words can describe.

#4) How Do I Know If My Doll Needs A New Wig?

We can help you decide by our viewing a photo of your doll.  We have salvaged many original wigs which always adds value to a vintage doll and helps to bring back your memories of her when she was new. If she once had Rolled Banana Bangs and you cut them short or off, IF we have her hair color here in the Saran, we do make "Banana Bang Hairpieces" that you will not be able to tell are not her original. (this is an extra fee not recorded in our information at this time) 

You will be the one making the final decision and if you do decide you want the wig replaced we can recommend your visiting Online http://monique.com  We are very impressed with the quality of these wigs. You are responsible for the cost of the wig and their prices are not bad at all. (I might add that we receive no monies from any transactions) For Shirley Temple Wigs we suggest:  http://dollsparts.com If you should purchase these or from anyone else, tell them to send the wig to our address:  

Just a little bit of information for a 22" Saucy Walker's new wig.  Her size is 14/15   Also: To put a wig into braids is not suggested.  A Wig that has braids already is the best because there needs to be a seam down the back to separate the braids.  I have done this for an owner once and the braids looked okay but actually it is best to buy a wig suited for braids.

#5) Who Are You And Who Is Dr. Hubby?

Smiles cross my face as I make an attempt to answer this particular question.  We both are Christians and love our Lord with all that we are about.  In the flesh we are decent folks who tend to be very much the perfectionists.  So much so that we may add a week to your doll's shipment back to you in the slight event that Dr. Hubby finds something he was not aware of on your doll and refuses to let her go until that problem is solved by him.  He wants you to know that he will let you know what she needs on her body and if he finds something on her he will then tell ME to talk to you about it and just about insist that you agree that he should repair whatever it is.  We answer to God alone so no fear of anything being created by us for any reason or any extra fee.  Believe me, we do fear the Lord.

Let me begin by telling you that I, Sheryl Elaine Hale Black, am a Web Designer.  I have been since 1998 and have founded a few sites such as  http://thescripturetree.com and nd http://thescripturetreeshop.com which now is http://saucywalkerscorner.com and http://saucywalkercorner.com and http://saucywalkerdollhospital.com and also I have created web sites I don't even remember for others over the years.  

I converted our "The Scripture Tree Shop" into the vintage Doll Hospital because of my mother's passing in June of 2008. I started this doll Web Site in the memory of  my Mother, Mary Nell Hale. She loved these dolls and through her I have learned that they are precious and really do have a spirit of their own.  I have also learned that the world of dolls can actually bring happiness to women and from that joy that we feel, healing is possible for our bodies.  Look at them close and see the joy they have brought to a child who imagined them to be real.  They may be old, but their spirit is still alive. My prayers go with each and every one I have restored, that they might bring joy to their new owners. It is my guess that as long as I live and while there are still dolls on this earth that need our help I shall by the grace of God be able to continue along side my husband, Caroll Don Black, lovingly known as Dr. Hubby or Cary to restore them and bring loving memories back to their owners.

Now who is this husband of mine?  Caroll Don Black, Cary and or Dr. Hubby? He is the most amazing and intelligent man I and even my own mother, who lived with us, have ever known.  Mom was quite the intellect all her life until she met her match...her son-in-law.  My heavens they would talk for hours on end.  I have had an office at home for ten years and Cary, as he was known by Mom before she passed would walk straight by me sitting at my desk, not a peep from her to me, straight to Cary to ask him or tell him the simplest thing.  I would sit there with mouth open as my eyes followed her to him here in our shop and from him and back out the shops' door. One would think her mother did not like her daughter?  Not really. she so admired her son-in-law called "Cary" that I thought mostly how blessed I am to have a man in my life so close to God and who would be the FIRST one I had ever seen her be so taken up with. I truly am grateful.

Okay, now who is he vocation wise?  He is a specialist machinist, working and wanted by many companies from coast to coast because of his expertise. We did do our share of traveling over the years.  He is also a man who worked along side the crew that created the Hubble Telescope at N.A.S.A. at the The Redstone Arsenal located in Huntsville, Alabama. This is one of their locations, they do have quite a few.  Now think on this:  He is also a man deeply in love with guns and knives?  Does this give you an idea that this man with this background could EVER want to work on dolls? HA!

When I began this business, I would spend anywhere from 12 to 14 hours every day of the week for one year UNTIL a few months ago as I was finishing the first Shirley Temple doll repair on our site's front page.  This is when I began to feel a wee but strange.  To make a long story shorter, my Doctor's frank and unyielding suggestion to me was to STOP IT!!  This man I call "My Husband" and lovingly now whom I call "Dr. Hubby" immediately came to my rescue or this business and the new lives of many dolls would be out the window.  So thank you Dr. Hubby!  God's love shines brightly through you each and every moment of our lives together. 

Although he had helped me with the Shirley Temple doll he had not fully gotten into the Saucy Walker Dolls as I was until now.  So for those of you who care to know who does what here: I am the repairing of the eyes specialist, I also salvage the wigs, I clean the faces and I re-string the whole bodies on the composition dolls. (Well I use to re-string them...Dr. Hubby just took away my re-stringing job as well...hum? That is okay..He Cannot Repair The Eyes...that is my secret for now anyway...I will jump up and down for joy if he ever sits still long enough to learn that one!!) I dress them, and make all the bows and stiffen them for display.  I order supplies and do all the web work. I also spend two hours packaging the doll for shipment, each doll.  My daughter will paint the mouths if needed but Dr. Hubby" Does the rest which is taking the heads off, sanding, fillers, cracks, seam splits, painting with the ""Air Brush" gluing, blushing, eye shadow, and  he takes the walkers apart to make sure the walking mechanism is perfect. 

We have five adult children and three granddaughters and two grandsons between us and one Black Lab and one spoiled Shih Tzu and a home that has for three years housed not only us and our business and tons of vintage dolls but my mother, a few adult kids and a grand daughter and a son.  Our daughter and granddaughter now have an adorable house in town and one of our sons is also in town. So that is who we are all in a nutshell, a rather large one at that.  God Bless you for taking your time to read this small book.

#6) How Do I PAY IN FULL Or HOLD THE DOLL Or LAY-A-WAY OR 

CUSTOM ORDER DOLL

IN FULL: We prefer checks, money orders, cashier checks, or Paypal.  Either one is fine with us.  PLEASE NOTICE: If you pay with PayPal, we can start repair in a day or so from the time we receive her, depending on our work load.  If it is a check, Money Order (Which can be canceled by the buyer) or cashier check you prefer to send, please know that we wait up to ten days from the time we deposit it to know that it has cleared before we begin repair work and/or send the doll.

____________________________________________________________

REPAIR DOLL PACKAGE "A": We prefer that you send no more than $150.00 for the down payment on Package "A" until we finalize her/him. Then we will send you an email Invoice or Paypal Invoice, which ever one you prefer for the balance.  The shipping fee is separate and we can let you know how much the shipping cost is when we find out, then you can pay us anyway you find the easiest to do.  (Shipping can be paid anyway that you can find possible before we send the doll because we are only able to Lay-A-Way our time spent on the doll and not money spent on shipping.)

Keep in mind we do have very easy and simple Lay-A-Way plan on PACKAGE "A" repair dolls as well as dolls that we sell. (See the "For Sale" policy below)  We will keep your repaired doll to 4 months if you request us to do so. We prefer the first $100.00 upfront on our  Package "A" (Display Ready) repair doll and you pay what you can and when you can within 4 months we will not send an invoice to you.  If you have PayPal use the SEND MONEY button to send a payment when you can. If we do not hear from you after 4 months of no payment and 2 emails from us, and a phone call or two to your home or cell phone if we have an updated number... we reserve the right to cover expenses and will sell the doll. (This has never happened and we do not expect it to.)

_____________________________________________________________

LAY-A-WAY POLICY FOR SALE LISTED DOLLS 

We ask 20% down and a Lay-A-Way fee of $25.00 that is to be paid with the down payment up front plus the shipping of cost of $35.00 which we consider a flat fee and will reimburse the difference to you if the charge is less.  After the fee, shipping cost and down payment is made then 4 months following the down payment and fee the next 20% shall be due on the 1st (First) So if the doll is $375.00 then the down payment will be $75.00 plus the fee of $25.00 and the shipping cost of $35.00 = (Equals) $135.00 up front.  Then each of the 4 months following on the 1st (First) $75.00 will be due. ( We allow 7 days to receive that payment.) (When you click to pay the down payment to us through Paypal or any other method that we agree to, we will expect that you have read the policy on our Lay-a-way Plan here below.)  

The moment the down payment is made it belongs to us regardless of any changed minds.  We will refund the fee of $25.00 and the shipping fee of $35.00 if you should have buyers remorse within a 31 day period, After 31 days the $25.00 (From either the Lay-a-way Fee or if there is no Lay-a-way fee charged on the Doll's Ad Page, we will deduct the $25.00 from the the shipping fee paid upfront and reimburse the $10.00 back to you.  

We will send you a Paypal invoice each month to let you know that payment is due that week and what your remaining balance is. Important to make a note of this: You will have 7 full days to pay the monthly amount from the date of the first Paypal invoice. If after 7 days we have not gotten a response from you in writing or through a payment, we will then re-list the doll for sale immediately. We will not refund the down payment but as mentioned above, we will refund the $25.00 fee within the 31 days from the time it was paid. Please read our rules on Refunds below for a Lay-a-way doll/dolls. If you should have a problem with any payments, don't hesitate to contact us and let us know, we can work with you within reason.

Please read carefully:  If you should change your mind within Only 31 days after the Down Payment and fee payment is made, we will keep the down payment up front money and reverse back to you the $25.00  Lay-a-way Fee.  If you have paid on the doll for no more than one month after your down payment is made on a Lay-a-way doll/dolls and change your mind, we will pay back the one month payment made by you as well as the Lay-a-way Fee but again will retain the down Payment on Lay-a-way Doll/Dolls.  After 31 days on a Lay-a-way doll/dolls, we consider that it is too late to be changing your mind as we have invested many days that she could have been sold by us. We will keep all that is paid to us including the Lay-a-way fee if there should be any from the time the down payment is made including the first month invoiced payment. We will reimbuse your shipping fee paid upfront. (i.e  If you have made the second month invoiced payment we will return that back to you in the time frame that we received it and if the third and fourth payment as well has been paid to us by you...each payment will be sent back to you 31 days apart.)

We ask that you read all of this policy very carefully and please do not intend to purchase a doll from us unless you are very seriously wanting to own her.

For a Custom Doll Orders and Our Budget For The Doll Cost... Is As Follows:  

Please note:  If we should work with you through email or on the phone, anything agreed to in that email or phone call supersedes the below policy.

 Please make note: We have changed our Budget to Our buying the Doll only and we pay no more than $100 for her. Any cost for the doll above the $100.00 is added to the balance when the doll is ready to photograph in her finishing photos.  If the doll we choose is less we will deduct the amount left over from your final balance.

The Custom Doll Customer needs to fund the clothing and all else such as the wig and any extras you want her to have such as a little purse, blanket or stuffed animal to hold.  The price of a Custom made doll is $395.00.  

If you require more than a month for us to wait on clothing or wig (from the time she is here in our shop) we will invoice you for the balance of our work to be paid then and gladly remain waiting afterward for those things that are yet to come.  Once we get them we will post her finishing photos on her web page.  Dr. Hubby does not like to wait more than a month to be paid for his fabulous work.

If you should change your mind about continuing the doll's custom construction at any time or for any reason while we are making your custom doll, we will keep the down payment of $100.00 to cover all efforts and work that we have done or if the doll was $100.00 upfront which was bought from the Down Payment, we will sell her to cover our expenses and any work done by us on her.  We will keep the doll and the Down Payment in other words.   We will send back to you the clothing or anything you have bought for her. So it is vitally important that you make sure there will be no changing your mind BEFORE you order her. So far out of all the custom dolls we have created there has never been a problem.

When your doll is paid in full he/she will be shipped to you USPS Priority Mail in our custom shipping box.  Please make sure that your Paypal address is your current address because we will be using that address unless notified in plenty of time beforehand.  We always ship USPS Priority with Insurance to protect the dolls against postal damage. Shipping fees are not added to the cost of the doll's For sale, For repair or For Custom made dolls.

HOLD-THE DOLL

If you want us to hold a doll because you want to pay her in full in two months after the Down Payment is made, we will require 1/2 of her price as a down payment to hold her plus a $25.00 fee and a $35.00 fee (If the shipping cost is less we will reimburse you the difference).  We will Invoice you for the second month for the balance. Let us know after the down payment and fees are made if you will need more time to pay the balance.

 (If we list a "NO FEE REQUIRED" on the dolls payment page then no $25.00 fee will be required on her/him).   

 Changing Your Mind within 31 days

We will keep the Down Payment Amount paid to us, however . We will refund your $25.00  and the $35.00 Shipping fee paid upfront. After 31 days we will keep a fee of $25.00 plus the down payment. (If a Hold Doll fee was not required we will deduct the $25.00 from the upfront shipping fee and reimburse the $10.00 back to you. 

So please make completely certain BEFORE you put her in our "Hold The Doll" plan that you will not be changing your mind at any time.

The dolls are always stored with your name and information in plastic except for the vinyl faced dolls and composition.  Depending on how long they remain with us...We cover vinyl and composition dolls in cloth. Plastic can create moisture build-up.

#7) How and Where Do I Ship My Doll To You?

To box up a 22" Saucy Walker and protect her face and eyes you can use a  long rectangle box to lay her on her tummy with her arms outstretched to keep her face away from the bottom of the box and the fillers OR or a square box to sit her up in.  

She needs to keep her eyes open during shipment.  She also needs her face make-up protected against any fillers that you will be using.  You can tape a plastic bowl to her head (Keeping the tape off of her face at all times) and we will return it to you.  One customer cut out a piece from an egg carton for the eyes.  If she has all of her original lashes it is so important not to have anything rub against them as well.  When we send her back to you she will have one of our strong paper masks that we make and resemble a 'Deep Sea Diver".  You may laugh when you see her.

We need to beg (can you see us on our knees?) for you NOT to use the popcorn fillers as they fly all over the place and our time needs to be used to hug and kiss and pray for your Baby doll when we first see her.  giggle.  Most all the dolls we receive need that prayer pretty quickly.

We use tons of pink tissue stuffed pretty tight around the dolls and you can either use tissue, paper towels, Walmart bags if she has no vinyl face nor is not a composition doll...in which case for them, use paper or cloth or cotton. People have used newspapers and crunched up paper of any kind in the past.  We do not make judgments on your wrapping ability, we are way too busy concentrating on the doll you send.  You can also use the small bubble wrap around her but please do not roll her up like a mummy...just stuff the fillers around her.  God Bless Each and Everyone of you!!  Once we know your doll is approved to be sent we will tell you where to send her to us.

A Customers doll that came in.  Good Idea!!! A Cool Whip Container would work. 

See the nice plastic bags and no popcorn peanut fillers?

 

ALSO:  Shipping Policy For Dolls That Are For Sale:

USPS Priority shipping costs and handling fees at times are included in the price of each doll unless otherwise indicated on the Sale Page.  We can apply a small amount toward International Priority cost only if the shipping cost is included in her pricing. We can send you an Invoice for the difference, unless otherwise indicated on the sale page.

Please Notice.  If a doll we have sold or repaired is sent back to us without our permission, nor were we notified before it was shipped, this can mean that the customer is responsible for all shipping cost back and/or we reserve the right to refuse the doll at the door.

#10)  Do You Offer Refunds 

Absolutely, (within 7 days of receiving her) however,  Only if we have grossly misrepresented the doll in the photos which you need to study very carefully including the eyes. You must contact us first before sending any sale or repair doll back to us or we will turn the doll away at the door back to you.  We try very hard to remember all we can to describe the dolls but the most important way to judge them is by all the photos we have shown on the ad page and repair page.  We have promised to make the dolls LOOK LIKE new again to the best of our ability... We do not promise her to be brand new.  

Most Saucy Walkers have warped neck plates so we use thick elastic cord tubing to hold the head on and be strong enough to pose the head.  When she was new, the head mostly only moved as she took steps. We have NOT promised to make all her working parts new again...just refurbish them with the parts we have and overcome their problems to the best of our abilities with the inventions we have created as no other Doll Hospital is known to do.  There are no "new parts" store to buy Saucy Walker parts from. Whatever way the doll appears in the photos is what you will get when purchased or get when the repair is finished. If her eyes do not move the way YOU want them to, please do not be afraid to jerk her to the left or the right to make them flirt the best that they will do after so many years. (NOTE: Since September 1, 2011 we have now created another invention to help the later Saucy Walkers eyes flirt easier and still be able to tolerate the platforms that we install preventing the eyes from sinking, crossing or rolling)  

So many of the delicate parts in an IDEAL Saucy Walkers eye mechanism is mostly rusty and some are warped.  Once again..."We do not have a parts house to order new parts."   Remember we have promised to make the dolls LOOK like new for display only, we do not make them new.  We treat the dolls while restoring them the way WE would like her to be under the circumstance of being over 50 years old...so we do the best we can and have invented a few ways to make her mechanically better than what you may find elsewhere.  So many DO NOT flirty while simply walking them. The eye mechanism changed sometime after 1953.  The earlier eyes were better and moved freely.  They were designed to be leaned from one side to the other.  After many years because IDEAL used different mechanisms after the earlier dolls, they do act sluggish at times, especially if they have been on display for a long while either here or at your home. Before we send a doll to you we will test her first.

Added items are simply what we add to the sale as an extra, such as original clothing.  If the clothing is old, expect that the item/items will not be perfect unless we specify them being in excellent shape.  We take many photos of the dolls and we want you to know what you are gaining for your collection.  We are perfectionists that take many hours restoring each doll.  If something is wrong with her in any way that we are aware of mechanically, we always explain the problem. Example: If the 22" Saucy Walker doll does not cry and we fail to make you aware we expect that you should be aware that 90% of the Saucy Walker Dolls coming to us do NOT cry after 50 years or more and unless we tell you she has a crier that still works, we seldom mention that she does not.  We tell you if she is a good walker most of the time. If she is not a good walker (Very rare for this to happen now that Dr. Hubby is restoring their walking mechanism.) we always let you know.  We take pride in our dolls and we never have had a request for any refund because of misrepresentation and do not expect to.  We do not take responsibility of the doll being damaged in shipping in anyway. We always insure the dolls through USPS.

#11)  What Is Your Privacy Policy?

We never disclose any information about our customers.  We use Paypal for our money   transactions and we never take credit card information.  If you chose to send a check, we will not ever give out that information. We do unto others as we would like for them to do unto us. When we record the owner of a doll in our repair service we always use their first name on the web site, never their last names.  If we request to record an email of thanks on any of our pages and get the permission to do so, we will not record email addresses unless asked to do so.
