Hello, I am Nancy J. and I am the ‘Nana’ in Nana’s Li’l Blossoms.

I have always been considered the artful one, the decorator, the musician, the seamstress, the gardener, the maker in our family. I mastered many of these during my youth and marriage while lovingly raising four wonderful children and a husband. I also dedicated my life to caring and helping others in the health care arena as I was a nurse.

I have been reborning little ones for almost 2 years now. I rather fell upon it through the news and after reading an article about rescue men saving a woman’s baby from the ocean and finding out it was a ‘reborn’ doll I was curious.

It started for me by looking into it online and after seeing picture after picture of what looked like real babies I was amazed and hooked.

I researched and read article after article for many days but I had one serious problem. I had a phobia against broken dolls and moving parts. Slowly page by page I would look and after many weeks of facing my fears I realized the beauty of these little ones and the talent of these artful masters were overshadowing any of my fears. I was in awe of the realness of these Reborns. I took many classes and ordered a couple of Reborns for myself. After weeks of ordering supplies I tried this new art form for myself.

I must tell you that I get so much joy from the making and the final product of these Reborns that the idea of letting them go, to sell them, saddens me. I am almost like a mother giving up her child. I make sure that all is correct, all the necessities are with them, the pictures before they leave, the good-byes, and kisses and wonderful hugs. I send instructions and notes to let the new ‘mommy’ know all my little wishes and joy to them. I worry like a hen until I know they are safe with their new mommy.

Here at Nana’s Li’l Blossoms I have a nursery studio, complete with bassinets and dressing table, dresser and a mobile. We listen to soft music and lullabies and have a relaxing atmosphere.

Regards,

Nancy J
