Hi Rachael. I'm coming back to this video often. I absolutely loved this production. I'm so glad you share all you know about dolls. So beautiful. I have one tonner doll, a little Irish dancer red headed girl that I bought long ago from mail order catalog. I love her and all of my Madame A, and Kish girls. I'm so glad you have a daughter, like your mom had you.
So enjoyed Grace’s history! Thank you to Rachel, and all her hard work and innovative ideas. And Robert Tonner’s fabulous creations.
It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the journey through Grace's history! Thanks for being a part of this adventure and for sharing your appreciation. The love and support from fellow doll enthusiasts make it all worthwhile! 😊💕🎀
Oh, you have the most beatiful Sydney, Rachel. I love her hair colour.
Watching this is making me really want a grace or a Sydney. Thank u soo much for sharing
Such beautiful dolls!
I have appreciated the look and fashions of Grace from the beginning, but have not been able to buy one. So, tonight when I turned on this video, I was so happy to hear that she has the Sydney sculpt, because I do have a Sydney that I purchased from ebay a few years ago!
In a way then I do have the Grace doll.
I also have a Tyler, and Madra.
Add to that list Kitty Collier, these are all easy to sew for and the world of dolls whether old or new just remains fascinating!
I am pleased to be a doll collecting acquaintance with you and your wonderful shop and family!
❤
It's amazing how doll collecting can create such intricate connections and realizations! While you might not have a Grace doll per se, having a Sydney with the same sculpt is such a delightful parallel. Sydney, Tyler, Madra, and Kitty Collier are all fabulous dolls, and it sounds like you have quite a cherished collection. Sewing for them must be a joyous creative outlet! The world of dolls indeed offers endless fascination, and it's wonderful to share in this passion with fellow collectors like you. Thank you for being a part of our doll community and for your kind words! Here's to many more doll adventures together! 😊💕🎀
Such a fun journey!!! I love my No. 1 Grace, but all the others are fabulous too! Can't wait for my "Liz" Grace to arrive - keep up the awesome work! Yay!
This is a wonderful video! I loved learning all about the history Grace Marie and her predecessor Sydney Chase.
This was such a fun, interesting video. I have the deluxe Grace, and every time I look at her I’m struck again by how gorgeous she is. That hair and that makeup together are so dramatic and so classic. Really a work of art.
Thank you Rachel! I just ordered my very first Grace doll. I swore I wasn't going to start collecting anymore new (to me) fashion dolls, but I watched this video and that was it ❤
Sydney Chase was my favourite Tonner doll!! I’m so happy that you chose the mould for Grace Marie doll! 😍
I have Tyler dolls. Does the grace body fit Tyler clothes and vice versa?
The dolls are very beautiful. How interesting to hear the stories around them. 🌼
Lovely video of your story with Grace who is a beauty 😍
😊 ❤ yes grace 🙏
I wasn’t aware of Sydney Chase when I came across VDC 2020. I thought Robert had based Grace Marie after you, Rachel. She a gorgeous doll. I hope to get my first girl this year.
Gorgeous! Can't wait to add her to my collection.
I love my deluxe Grace she is gorgeous
Great video Rachell. Thank you & Robert Tonner for bringing glamorous dolls to the collecting world of dolls. I became aware of your Virtual Doll Convention when I purchased the Deluxe Grace. Wish I had known sooner about your doll shop. I do have a collection of Tonner dolls already that I love. I was happy to purchase both the new Grace dolls today. Also love seeing your beautiful Holland Diane. She is growing so fast!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Robert Tonner truly has a gift for creating glamorous dolls that captivate collectors. I'm thrilled to hear you've joined our Virtual Doll Convention family through Deluxe Grace. Even if you discovered our doll shop later on, we're just glad to have you here now. Your growing collection of Tonner dolls, including the new Grace dolls, sounds absolutely delightful. And yes, Holland Diane is indeed growing up so quickly! It's always a joy to share her milestones with our doll community. Here's to more doll-filled adventures together! 😊💕🎀
This makes me so emotional ❤❤❤
Wow great story and love all of it that you share... Keep the sparkles on... Lovies Yetta💕
What a wonderful and informative video on the history of Robert Tonner's Sydney and Grace Marie Fitzpatrick. It's a video I'll enjoy watching again as well!
Such a delightful and comprehensive history, and celebration, of the gorgeous Grace Marie Fitzpatrick. Thank you for doing this, Rachel. Since you asked, while I have thoroughly enjoyed each Club Grace Subscription Box I've received, this year's Chinese New Year outfit has to be my favorite. I kept Grace and Dolly in their outfits until the special garden costume came out in May (and Dolly got a fairy costume based on Diana Vining's illustration). I have loved and collected Ruby Red Galleria from their start and having the Club Grace outfits made by them makes them even more special to me. Thank you for making doll collecting fun and exciting again!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the history and celebration of Grace Marie Fitzpatrick! Hearing your favorite moments and outfits makes the experience even richer. The Chinese New Year outfit truly is a standout piece, and it's wonderful to hear how you've incorporated it with your collection. Ruby Red Galleria has a unique touch, and it's fantastic that it resonates with you. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for sharing your enthusiasm. Making doll collecting fun and exciting is what it's all about! Here's to more delightful moments in our doll-loving world. 😊💕🎀
I have Deluxe Grace and Everything Grace with beautiful green eyes: I love them both. Last week I secured a Neema, can’t wait to get her, she looks beautiful too. When I checked last night both Liz & freckles were sold out!!! Looks like there were many people waiting for her return!
Oh, how exciting to have both Deluxe Grace and Everything Grace! Their green eyes must be truly captivating. And congrats on securing Neema; she's indeed a beauty. It's not surprising that Liz & Freckles sold out so quickly; they're such sought-after dolls! The anticipation and thrill of adding to our collections is what makes the doll world so vibrant and engaging. Enjoy your growing collection and all the joy they bring! 😊💕🎀
I LOVE Sydney Chase!
So much I didn't know, what a special journey! ❤
I love this video. I learned so much about Grace. So many beautiful dolls. She is gorgeous. Holland Diane is adorable. So happy for your success. From Tennessee
Love my deluxe Grace!
Looking at these two it’s hard to decide between them!
Thank you for sharing this story, it was fascinating! I love the detail that your inspo was Princess Catherine I also just love her and she’s the perfect inspiration for a doll!
So glad you enjoyed the story and caught that detail! Princess Catherine is truly an icon and makes for such a delightful muse for a doll. It's always a joy to share inspirations and connect over mutual admiration. Thanks for being a shining star in our doll community! 🎀😊
Learned alot thank you 😊
❤❤❤❤
Rachel, Sydney Chase is so glamorous💖💖, but so is Grace Marie Fitzpatrick 💖💖💖💖💖!!! You have introduced me to Robert Tonner's Dolls and he is so talented in making Dolls more glamorous than Barbie ( and I also LOVE Barbie)!!!! And do not feel bad about selling Robert Tonner's Doll from just a sketch because Barbie in the1960s just had a Booklet of Barbie, Ken, and Skipper sketches with them in their various outfits💖💖💖💖💖💖💖!!! I so LOVE the 1st Grace with her green eyes💚💚!!! However, my favorites in this video are: Aspen Grace with her stunningly beautiful baby blue eyes💙💙💙💙💙, Deluxe Grace or "show time Grace" in her shimmery baby blue gown💙💙💙💙💙, stunningly beautiful make-up💖💖💖💯💯, and stunning jewelry💙💙💙💙💙, Amazing Grace Natural with her stunningly gorgeous eye make-up💖💖 and beautiful red hair❤❤, and Amazing Grace Glamour Doll because she is gorgeous like Elizabeth Taylor❤❤❤!!!! Rachel, Thank you so much for sharing the history of Sydney Chase into Grace Fitzpatrick and for giving Robert Tonner a stage for his Dolls💖💖💖💖💖💯💯!!! And thank you Rachel for giving us Tamara Casey, Diana Vining, and Ernesto whose talents also gave Robert Tonner a platform for displaying his stunningly gorgeous Dolls💖💖💖💖💖💯💯!!! Rachel, I believe that your Mom from Heaven is really happy with your sense of taste and saleslady ship😃😃👍👍👍👍👍!!! And Holland Diane👶 is so sweet and I am so happy to see her in videos too because she is the cutest of all the Dolls👶🧸💜💜!!
I can’t say I have a favorite Club Grace box I like all of them.
Thank you for the fantastic new doll. Grace is beautiful. Now if I could only get my hands on one. She sold out way too fast. Any more releases coming in the future?
I bought number one!
Yes you did!! Thank you so much!!
Daphne Dimples is and will always be my favorite, but Sydney Chase is a close second!
Love love love
My 2 favorite grails (that took years to get) are, Night At the Opera Sydney, and Sheer Glamour Sydney.
Another favorite I have is 24K Sydney. They're all still mint in their boxes.
I wish I knew about you when you released the first Grace. Shelooks exactly like Kate, she is stunning!
Oh, what a sweet compliment that Grace resembles your Kate! While you might have missed the first release, it's never too late to discover the magic of a doll that resonates with you. Here's hoping you'll be able to add a Grace to your collection sometime soon. She'd be thrilled to be part of your doll family! 🌟
Sydney’s my girl - ask her about UFDC Atlanta, 2001. I think of myself as Sydney’s Godmother because of that event.
I think both the new dolls are stunning. But as much as Iam a LizTyler fan, I am really drawn to That freckled face and the silver make up. I was in the hospital when you released those dolls, so hop I will in the future be able to get a Grace. My granddaughters name is Grace and she has long brown hair and freckles. I have freckles too ,and it’s fun to see them on adult dolls.
Oh, how heartwarming! It sounds like our Grace doll has a special place in your heart, resembling your own freckled granddaughter. I'm sorry to hear you were in the hospital during the release, but I'm optimistic that you'll get your hands on a Grace doll in the future. Freckles bring such unique character to dolls, don't they? Thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts with us! 🌟
Wishing you a speedy recovery and lots of doll-tastic moments ahead!
@@RachelHoffmanDolls Thankyou so much for your well wishes. Recovering from a fall, and unable to walk only a few feet with a walker is an on going process.And dolls have always brought mea lot of joy. I wish I had room to buy all of them.But as i have been trying to recover, lack of space has forced me into having sell a lot of my doll collections. But not selling any of my Elllowyne, or other Tonner or Kish , dolls They are already have them safely in doll cases .But it doesn’t hurt to buy outfits.
😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍
I have a friend named Grace. And everyone called her 'Amazing Grace'
Love that!!
I would like to know what the club grace is? I caught subscription, but there must be a how to.
I have the Deluxe Grace. She was my first. I do find her makeup too harsh. Especially with the strong jaw. I actually love the sculpt, so I may buy another one in the future with a more natural makeup. I still love her though
Her makeup is red carpet FIERCE and amazing with our couture fashions. You may love a more subtle Grace as well! Thanks for being part!
How can I join the grace club? If my budget allows, I would love to join.
We have a digital subscription and a monthly box, you can find more info here, we will have Bonus Boxes at the end of the month and more spots opening next month! www.virtualdollconvention.com/subscriptions
You may mentioned this and I just missed it, but where did Grace's name come from?
My middle names are Grace Marie. ❤️ The name was actually a suggestion from a friend at the time that didn’t know my middle names. I took it as a sign!
Love it! Thanks!
I liked the natural nails best, but the red nails are also OK.
Pearlescent pink nails would also be pretty.
Are the bodies of Sydney Chase and Grace Fitzpatrick the same?
No, they’re totally different. Grace is an RTB101 and much curvier than the Sydney body.
@@RachelHoffmanDolls
Oh, the Tonner Mrs Claus body, curvier for sure! I emailed you about the same so you needn't answer it., 💕🙂
Sorry, I'm from the Princess Di era. I don't follow Kathryn or Kate.
You’re missing out!
