Handmade Porcelain Dolls
Sell a Unique, Handcrafted Product Online? Who Me?
Very seldom does one find something unique to sell online. As an online Internet Marketer, I had been spending most of my time marketing my website promoting MLM opportunities and sites for advertising those opportunities. Although I was making a little here and little there, it wasn’t enough. It wasn’t what I’ve always wanted to do and it wasn’t worth the time I spent online trying to market something that everybody and their mother was already marketing. Then, a few weeks ago, that all changed. I met someone that created something so special, I just had to help her market it. And my “niche” product was thus created.
Located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in a heart-warming little shop, known as “Peggy’s Dolls”, along side a small craft community flanked by a working grist mill from the 1800’s, Peggy Sue Cosey makes, dresses, and displays her exquisite handmade porcelain dolls. Upon meeting her, you can tell that she truly loves what she does, as she should, since she’s been creating these Heirlooms for the last 28 years! This is where I met Peggy and discussed marketing her cherished dolls on the internet for her. It was a dream come true for me, as I have always been a collector of porcelain dolls. These dolls were so unique and nothing like the average so called “collector” dolls you see in other shops. It was quite apparent that these were very special dolls. The average porcelain doll collector can probably not afford the price of these beautiful dolls, but, because of their uniqueness, they are worth the price it takes to have one of these precious little beings. They are created with childlike expressions just like your own children and will be a welcome addition to any serious collector. Even the magnificent satin and lace dresses are handmade by Peggy.
As the National Doll Maker for the Miss and Mrs. U.S.A. Pageants, Peggy has won several trophies for her creative doll-making talent. Her latest pageant creation, Mrs. U.S.A. 2006, can be seen on our website. If that isn’t enough, two of her exquisite dolls were on display in the White House for several years and have moved on to be included in the Smithsonian Institute.
Another reason for her tremendous success was her decision to start personalizing her dolls. She takes the photo of someone’s treasured little girl or boy and fashions the doll by hand to look just like them. The resemblance is astonishing and has made her famous! The process of shaping the porcelain face by hand, styling the hair, eyes, and clothing with meticulous detail is extremely time-consuming, yet very rewarding. Since most look-a-like doll shops use the same face and change only the eyes, hair, and clothing, Peggy loves to see the look on the faces of parents, grandparents, and others when they pick up their newly hand crafted doll, knowing that it will remind them of their cherished child forever. You can see how much time and effort goes into each unique doll by checking out our Photo Gallery on our website.
People come from around the world for Peggy’s Dolls and with such high profile customers as Dolly Parton, Reba McIntire, Loretta Lynn, and others, it’s no wonder her dolls have become famous! G.T.C. Global Enterprise is dedicated to this wonderfully talented woman and her exquisitely designed porcelain “children” and is very proud to offer this awesome line, “Reflections of Me©”, exclusively.
