The Doll Maker has been nominated and won numerous awards, including the Diamond Awards, Awards of Excellence and the prestigious DOTY! Over the years, many of The Doll Maker’s creations have been featured on Home Shopping Network and also Home Shopping Europe. ![]() It is truly a joy making every moment precious! It is with honor and gratitude that The Doll Maker carries on the tradition of Precious Moments dolls. Linda was thrilled to give these iconic dolls a new home with The Doll Maker. On January 1, 2010, The Doll Maker was granted the license to produce Precious Moments vinyl dolls. Linda was instrumental in creating the current success of Precious Moments dolls and with her creative imagination and feminine touch, she has transformed the PM dolls to an awarding- winning portion of PMI’s overall product mix. One very special offer grabbed her heart in 2001, when Linda became the doll designer for Precious Moments, Inc. Excited and overwhelmed, she pursued a few. In addition to The Doll Maker brand expansion, Linda found herself surrounded by many design offers from staple companies in the doll industry. After her first experience at Toy Fair, she has since introduced 4 additional lines under The Doll Maker including The Doll Maker & Friends, Key to My Heart, Lee Middleton Moments, and Lovie Dovie Dolls. And Toy Fair was a success her dolls had a distinctive look of their own and were very well received in the doll industry. The Doll Maker dolls were offered in the gift industry for many years before her first introduction at Toy Fair in 1998. Soon after offering the dolls in the wholesale gift market in Michigan and Atlanta, the business flourished. She began with full porcelain, all American made dolls that were exquisitely dressed. Her business started as a hobby when her firstborn started school. Linda would paint their perfect lips and adorn ribbons and lace to their adorable dresses, making every detail better than one could imagine. Linda would groom her dolls to her personal liking, redressing her dolls and styling their gorgeous locks of hair. With her mother’s guidance, Linda became proficient in sewing, knitting and crocheting, developing her artistic abilities at a young age. Her fairy tale adventures as The Doll Maker have been most enchanting! Ever since she was a little girl, she believed in fairy tales and far away places…where her dolls would come to life and play, bringing happiness and laughter to everyone that saw them. Once upon a time…a doll was created just for you! That is the way Linda Rick loves to start all of The Doll Maker stories.
