Welcome to Little Darlins Nursery!
Samantha was sculpted by world famousartist Donna Rubert. Her babies are known and loved all around the world!! Donna has been an artist all herand has studied with a number of well-known artists and taught art with the college system in California. Dolls included all the things she was familiar with and loved to do. Sculpting, painting and design, all in one place, sounded too good to be true. She has become one of the best-known doll artists in the world. A DOTY winner, Donna loves her work with dolls.
My name is Rita Meese and I have been reborning dolls since 2007. Together, with my husband David, we have brought over 1,000 “Little Darlins” to life. These babies have been adopted to families all over the world. David and I take great pride in the work we do, and only the highest quality materials are used in our babies. Our goal is to create babies of “heirloom quality” that will bring joy for many years to come.
I love her expression! As I was making the baby in the pictures, I couldn\'t help but smile! She is such a fun little baby. All pictures shown are of my work.

To achieve the most realistic skin tones I use only Genesis Heat Set Paints. I do not use pre-mixed colors, but prefer to mix my own paints for each baby so that no two are ever identical, but all have their own unique baby complexion. The paint paint is applied in many thin layers and baked into the vinyl so it will never fade or peel. Every baby has blushing in all their creases and dimples. Many hours are spent on each baby to get the complexion just right.
Samantha has 3/4 limbs and a custom made, fully jointed, doe suede body. Your baby will be stuffed and weighted in her head, body, and limbs with fiberfill and small pellets for a very realistic feel. Sand is never used in our babies so they may travel overseas with no problems. She will be so cuddly you won’t want to put her down!
Samantha comes with hand-rooted mohair. This is a painstaking process, rooting one or two strands and a time. It takes many hours to complete. The results are a life-like head of newborn hair! Hand rooted mohair looks like it is growing right out of the scalp. We use some of the finest quality mohair available.
Mohair color samples
Please read the care instructions before combing your baby’s hair. Mohair should never be combed dry. I recommend a baby comb and leave in hair conditioner.
Caring for my reborn doll
Samantha’s nose will be opened and backed with dark felt for a very realistic look. The eyebrows will be painted on in fine, delicate strokes. Human hair eyelashes will be hand-rooted to frame her pretty eyes.
Eye colors available
She will be given a manicure and pedicure for that just clipped baby look. The nails, as well as the mouth, will be glossed and sealed. The mouth will have a slightly moist look.
All our reborns come from a clean, smoke-free environment.
