Kid's Corner Series
They Never Grow Up Nursery Kid's Corner series are sweet babies that are created especially for children but can, and have been, purchased by adults.
The Kid’s Corner Babies are blushed, shaded in the creases, lips and nails colored, veins added, are put on a good body and weighted just like my Master Artist Series babies and have the same quality of mohair that I always use although rooted faster and with a larger needle. They may have a wig if requested or deemed appropriate by me. They are not matte varnished. These babies come with a basic going home outfit, a basic blanket, a magnetic pacifier if desired, hair bow and a toy. Kid's Corner babies are usually $250 plus the cost of the kit, body and eyes. Toddlers start at $500 plus actual shipping and the cost of kit, body and eyes. Prices can vary.

Simple Treasures Series
They Never Grow Up Nursery Simple Treasure babies are dolls that range in a category between the Kid’s Corner Series and the Master Artist Series. These beautiful pieces of artwork replicate the dolls that I made in the first few years of my reborn experience back in 2005-2008. Those dolls were “simple” yet have become such treasures to the collectors who own them. These darling, beautiful babies are an affordable way to expand and continue your collecting journey.
Sometimes these babies are created from older kits or mix and match kits. Sometimes they are babies that were experiments as I try different techniques. These sweet treasures vary in many ways but are always beautiful babies to love...forever!
The Simple Treasures babies usually have one tone/texture layer (unless I need to neutralize the vinyl), are blushed with 1-2 colors, the creases are shaded 1-2 times, the lips and nails are colored and detailed more than the Kid's Corner Babies, they have added "thin skin" as well as veins, are put on a good body and weighted just like my Master Artist Series babies and have the same high quality hair, only rooted faster and with a larger needle. Matte Varnish is upon request and is charged extra as are belly plates. These babies come with a basic going home outfit, a basic blanket, a magnetic pacifier and/or formula bottle if desired, hair bow and a toy. Simple Treasures Babies are usually $350-450 plus actual shipping and the cost of the kit, body and eyes. Toddlers start at $600 plus the cost of kit, body and eyes.
Prices can range and vary.

Please enjoy the slide show below that shows both a Master Artist Series reborn and a Simple Treasures Series reborn side by side.
Master Artist Series
They Never Grow Up Nursery Master Artist Series is what you see most coming from my nursery. These reborns usually have 3-5 tone and texture layers all in different shades of color, 3-5 shades of crease color, 2-3 shades of blush colors, have much more attention paid to the ends of the fingers and toes, much more detail on the lips, nails and eyelids, have 2-3 shades of undertones and thin skin, have 1-2 shades of vein colors, have capillaries, stork bites and other details, have highlight colors, and are usually matte varnished to reduce shine (custom orders are welcome to have this step eliminated). Fine details such as textured eye brows and nails, and occasionally milk spots are applied using matte varnish or glazing gel. Several types of glosses are used to create natural moisture where needed. Sometimes articulated spit bubbles are applied to the mouth. The magnificent pieces of artwork are assembled on a high quality body and artistically weighted using the highest quality of products including fully contained granulated glass beads (not powdered beads but granulated), poly pellets, contained non-corrosive baby fat pellets, quality fiber fill, sometimes contained BB pellets and a little powder sachet to keep them smelling baby fresh. The layettes for these babies can be boutique outfits, custom made outfits, specialty outfits and simpler cotton outfits. I choose outfits according to the personality of the doll baby. Most babies are sent home with 3 outfits including pajamas. Blankets are luxurious; accessories and toys are exceptional. Magnetic pacifiers and hair bows are included. These babies are usually $800 and up for newborns. Toddlers are usually $1200 and up. Shipping is additional. Prices can range and vary.
Master Artist Portrait Series
They Never Grow Up Portrait Series are custom made dolls created to replicate a child in a portrait.
These creations give me great joy! I won't be showing all of them that I've made as some clients would prefer the dolls and babies not be advertised.
Prices vary but start at $1000.

Little Bit Series
They Never Grow Up Nursery "Little Bit" Series are little reborn babies ranging from 5 inches to 12 inches. The artwork of these babies can range from the Kid's Corner Series all they way through the Master Artist Series. Most that have been created were in the Master Artist category as it gives me great joy to provide a small version of that artwork to collectors. These babies vary in price according to size and category of art.
