Reborn NINA by GUNDRUN LEGLER OOAK Life Like Baby

I was strolling down the charming streets of Paris at the end of a fairy tale day
full of sweet pastries and flea market treasures.
Weary, but pleased with my vintage finds, the Eiffle tower in the distance beckoning me home,
I noticed a beautiful scent in the air, like old fashioned David Austin roses. With vintage french chandeliers, quilts and even a wicker baby basket in tow I headed towards the dreamy scent.
As I drew closer I discovered a beautifully ornate iron gate. Strange, I thought as I peeked over the top, I have never noticed this before.
Was I dreaming? Right before my eyes was a secret rose garden. The intoxicating scent of hundreds of lush blooms drew me inside. I found a bench under a blossom covered arbor and sat down to rest, the song " I Love Paris" playing in my head.
I must have dozed off but woke suddenly to the sound of soft cooing.
In delight, I watched sparkly star dust misting the roses nearby. As it touched the petals the cooing became soft baby laughter.
I walked over and to my amazement...there was a perfect little baby...just blooming right out of a beautiful rose. With the sweet scent around us, I quickly wrapped her in the vintage quilt and snuggled her into the basket.
Soft baby sounds accompanied me the short distance home, and my steps were quickened by thoughts of unwrapping my rosey baby bundle as soon as possible.
What a delight she was, a little over 6 lbs and so cuddly to hold...I gave her a bath....dried her soft silky hair...Her ten little fingers and toes where freshly clipped and then I dressed her in the prettiest dress I could find and named her Mary.
I think you will agree that she is perfectly blushed in all the right baby places, this delightful little rose baby.
She is looking for a special new home where she can bloom forever, and bring joy and delight to a new mommy.
I have taken lots of photos and I hope that you can see what a precious discovery she is.

Hi, my name is Crystal Nguyen and I am the artist here at My Secret Parisian Rosegarden......This Cutie began as a New Release Nina sculpted by the talented Gundrun Legler.....She is a life like newborn size with cute chubby limbs...
Upon arrival she was given a warm soapy bath......I then painted with many layers using my special blends of genesis heat set paints...leaving her skin a healthy baby glow...with realistic appearence... Her hair was meticulously rooted with a very fine 40 gauge rooting needle only 1-2 strands at a time....it looks like it just grew out of her scalp...it has been sealed from the inside so you can lightly wet it and style...I only used premium quality angora mohair in a pretty baby medium/dk brown color...Just perfect for her sweet face... I hope you will enjoy dressing and pampering her just as much as I did.... I enjoyed taking lots of photos...so I hope you will take a minute to let them all load....

















Look at that sweet face....







I have painted many layers with my special blend of permanent genesis heat set paints to give Mary the most life like baby skin. Each layer gives her a very life like multi-dimentional skin tone. I have taken so close ups , so you can see her skin texture.I have given her light veining on her head hands and feet.









After painting Mary's skin, I micro rooted very high quality kid angora medium/dk brown mohair, only one- two strands at a time. You will not see any hair plugs, but only thousands of tiny hair follicles. It looks like it grew out of her scalp.This is the softest and finest mohair I have used it feels just like real baby hair








I have sealed the inside of her scalp, so you can lightly mist, comb and style.










I have given Mary the "just clipped" baby manicure, it has been tripled sealed.












Mary wears size newborn - 3 months. Her new mommy will have so much fun shopping for her.






Mary has been weighted a nice 6 lbs 3 oz. Which is true weight of a real baby. Her weight consist of tiny glass beads (which have been sealed not to leak) and high quality cluster stuff fiber fill.






All of Mary's pictures where taken in natural day light, that way you can see her true coloring. I do not photo shop any of my photos.

Mary will come with with a very special Heirloom Vintage layette picked out just for her





Beautiful Vintage Feltman Brothers pintuck dress and matching Vintage bonnet
