In the Realms of Gold, Inc. Cloth Doll and Stuffed Animal Hospital, I repair and rejuvenate favorite dolls, teddy bears, and other stuffed animals so they can be played with again. Our patients range in age from a few months (an unfortunate run in with a family pet) to nearly a century. They have come from as far away as Australia and Japan, and as close as down the street. 

The teddy below visited the hospital in December 2011. The photo below shows him before and after treatment. before and after treatment. He mostly needed cleaning, restuffing, a little bit of a fur transplant. His person, Julie in CT, said "Teddy looks really great. Thanks for your caring work... he sure looks healthy now."

In the artist studio, I create hundreds of huggable, one of a kind cloth dolls, stuffed animals, and puppets based on traditional folk and fairytale characters from around the globe.  Made of fine yarns and fabrics, my creations are as happy telling stories in a classroom, sleeping in a three year old's arms, or sitting on a collector's shelf.

Most of the dolls are reversible. For instance, turn the Queen of Hearts (below) around to find Alice, turn either upside down and there is the white rabbit. This popular doll is 3 characters in one huggable creation! Click on any of the links on the left to see more of our fairy tale dolls.
