Seam Splits and Cracks: Dr. Hubby has invented a technique secret to only us that makes seam splits
and cracks actually disappear without an outward trace. (Mostly on
Saucy Walker Dolls) The finish to the seam split and cracks will
involve the Air Brush Painting. Each crack and seam split with
this new technique will be an extra fee of $5.00 each.
The plastic doll will need full painting because of the tiny color
difference and Air Brush painting which is $5 per doll's
inch from the neck to the toes. |

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. It has been recently (11-2009) that
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 but we
do need to consider that this technique is an additional fee as
explained in the Package Information table in Question Number Two (2). There
you can see photos of the difference in the Before And After results.
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 quarantee 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.
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.
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 for ten years and have founded a few
sites such as http://scrollcardsonline.com
and http://thescripturetree.com
and http://houseofproverbs.com
and http://thescripturetreeshop.com
which now is http://saucywalkerscorner.com
and have created web sites I don't even remember for others over the
years.
I turned The Scripture Tree Shop into mostly carrying the
dolls now 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!! Either I Stopped
the long hours or I would end up with either a heart attack and or a
stroke. 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. Here is an e-card that I wrote because of who he is:
"I See
Him There Within You!"
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 arms on the Saucy
Walkers and 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. Now his son Bryan is helping him do
everything...Oh how fun! I knew we raised these five kids for a reason.

We have five
adult children and three granddaughters and one grandson between us and two
Boxers and one Black Lab that are large dogs 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 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 son's is now living with us. 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.
We prefer checks, money orders, cashier checks, or Paypal.
Either one is fine with us. However, we prefer that on our repair dolls
that you send no more than $100.00 for the down payment on either of our Prepare
For Display Packages until we finalize her/him.
Then we will send you an email Invoice or Paypal Invoice, which ever one you
prefer for the balance, depending on the package that you have chosen and or
whatever else you have requested. The shipping fee is separate
and we
can let you know how much it 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
repair dolls as well as dolls that we sell. We will keep them up to 4
months or more if you request us to do so. We prefer the first $100.00 on our
repair dolls and you pay what you can and when you can.
LAY-A-WAY POLICY FOR SALE LISTED DOLLS...we ask 20% down and we let you
know what is due the first week of each month (for 4 months after down payment
is paid) till the balance is paid in
full. If you should change your mind as time goes by, we keep the down payment
up front money and send you back the money that you have paid us in payments.
Your doll will be shipped to you once the balance is paid in full. We are adding all shipping now in the price of the doll so no extra invoicing
for shipping will be needed. We always ship USPS Priority to protect
the dolls against postal damage.
We have a doll room that is
temperature controlled with a lock on it so no one bothers the dolls.
They are always stored with your name and information in plastic except for
the vinyl faced dolls and composition. We cover vinyl and composition
dolls in cloth. Plastic can create moisture build-up.

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!!
A Customers doll that came in. Good
Idea!!! A Cool Whip Container would work. hum?
See the nice plastic bags and no popcorn
peanut fillers?

If you find that your
question has not been asked in the list, please feel free to contact us in
email: info@saucywalkerscorner.com
Absolutely,
however, Only if we have grossly misrepresented the doll in
Description. 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, we always explain the problem. Example: If the
22" Saucy Walker doll does not cry and we fail to make you aware, please
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 we always let you know. We
take pride in our dolls and we never have had a request for any refund at all
and do not expect to. Again, we will determine the fairness of a refund
upon the grounds that we have grossly misrepresented her in Description only.
We do not take responsibility of the doll being damaged in shipping in anyway.
We always insure the dolls.
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.
