Molly's Restoration ~ Before and After


Molly is a Steiff dog from the late 1920's. Her transformation shows what a little TLC can accomplish. She was very dirty and sad when I found her . . . now her fur is light, bright and fluffy. What a sweetie !




After a gentle surface cleaning and a few new nose threads . . . . Ms. Molly is quite happy again.

Wow Karen what a difference a little elbow grease and a lot of know how can do for an ole soul. You did a marvelous job with Molly almost looks like a different pup. Glad to see your bear blog up and running looks good. Hugs Deb

Thanks Deb! I have completed round one on your big ol' bear. He is looking happier already :).

I did take several "before" photos last night and hope to have him done in a week or so. ~ Karen

Love your new blog, Karen...good idea. I actually thought about having a second one also...but I really need to focus on my poor website!

Love your restoration...that little bear has a new life thanks to all of your TLC!

Hugs,
