XXXXXThe same seriousness also. Because creation and exploitation of this magic place in Paris asks rigour, dexterity, knowledge, and a lot of work, brief qualities which, reunited between their four hands are not common in such a degree.     XXXXXLet us add that they are really true doll's passionates , it which is always not the case of those that take charge and live of her . Finally they know how to share their passion, their enjoyment during a rare purchase, their happiness for a discovery so simple it is. In brief they are not blasé, -it is rare-, and havebefor all the doll "   HAPPY " ! What is also very rare in France....and somewherelse ! It has to see them commenting on each of their shop windows. Raynal's dolls which are the object actually of a magnificent exhibition of more than 200 items, sees them inexhaustible and happy..   XXXXXIt is true that the presented babies are all to retain for their beauty, the emotion which they kick away, the wealth of their clothes. It is the first exhibition of such importance dedicated to this brand. All the periods are there. And the veil is finally raised on the French felt Raynal dolls, so near to Italian Lenci, and so delicate to identify. .

A very friendly atmosphere

XXXXXSeveral collectionneuses-lenders present were amazed to be able to finally attribute a manufacturer to some of them. XXXXXTwo collectionneuses-lenders whom I know were also very touched to see their babies in such a decoration and in their most beautiful atours.... One of them told me to have put eight hours to iron a magnificent dress of organdi white ! ....... but the eyes shone with enjoyment by seeing the result of its efforts ..... it is true that enjoyment by the doll deserves. XXXXXAll which precedes is well the irrefutable proof. XXXXXThat all are here thanked for beauties which they show us and to remember. XXXXX
