I received an email from a lady the other day inquiring about a baby to adopt. She stated that it wasn't for her but for a friend. I sent some info and had her go to my website. The next day I get an email from her again explaining that her friend couldn't come to her house to see my work on the pc and was there some other way for her to see my babies. I then sent her my phone no. for this "friend" to call me directly so we could discuss what she is interested in.
It was the night of the debate between McCzin and Obama, 10:45 and I'm half listening to the tv after the debate and half getting ready to go to bed and my phone rings!! Now mind you, my brain went to sleep right after the debate! I answer and this sweet little voice so excited and full of life says "Hello, this is Josephine Ciura and I saw you on TV with your babies! I want one!" Hearing this voice you automatically KNOW this lady is about 6 months close to being 100 years old. Now I ask you, what would you all say to her at this point????
I did the only thing I could possible do without popping her bubble, I IGNORED her comment about seeing me on the tv! She sent me a check for her baby and it's down to the Post Office already waiting for me to pick it up as it requires a signature. I wish I could share with you her voice, she is just so happy! I'm a softie and only charged her $175 with shipping to Chicago free. She finally told me that she's 82 yrs old. And I instantly fell in love with her! Of course, her thinking I was on the TV and treats me like a movie star has nothing to do with it!!
So, I have her baby started and will post pictures when she's done.
Oh, her friend went to my website and printed out ALL the pictures of ALL my babies and took them to her so she could see my work. Wow, does she really want a baby or not? She told me in that first late nite chat ( yea, it was a loooong one) that she has always collected dolls and has since given them all away. She said she used to sew for them and make them fur coats and muffs. How cute!

Maybe by TV she meant the PC???
Well, either way, she did know what she was doing when she called "the best"! = ) Your dolls really are amazing.
Nope, she doesn't have a pc and there was a documentary on the "Today" show last week where another reborner and 2 doll collectors where there with their dolls being interviewed. That's what she was talking about....
Thanks for the compliment!!
I am trying to figure out how to word this....What an amazing recognition for you to have coming from this lady....you really are "MY" favorite artist.....
