My name is Kristina Reid and I live in Ontario, Canada. I have been drawing and painting Pugs since the 1970s and started selling my work in the early 1980s. In 1983 I expanded to all breeds and ran a booth in dog shows for several years, selling all manner of items with various breeds of dogs on them, with most of them handpainted by me. When I quit the dog show vendor business, I went back to Pugs only and sold my stuff at Pug specialties. I still sell Pug items, but now primarily on the Web, where I have been running a store since 1996.
Some years ago I accidentally stumbled upon reborn dolls while looking for a playdoll for a friend's little girl. I was fascinated by them, but at that time did nothing more than marvel. Then a few years ago I revisited them and decided to try making some myself. Little did I know then how addictive a hobby this would turn out to be. Since that time I have finished many dolls - some of them more than once! At first I used oil paints, but in 2006 switched over to Genesis heat set paints. I sell my dolls usually on eBay, but also directly as well as in a couple of doll shows I attend during the year. I also do custom orders.
I ship to almost everywhere in the world. All orders are shipped from Canada via Canada Post, by Xpresspost for dolls and as Air Mail Small Packet for smaller items. The shipping time can be anywhere from about a week to several weeks, depending on where you live and what shipping method is used. I ship the same or next day from when payment has cleared, except on weekends, when Canada Post does not operate.
If you have any questions about the shipping or payment policies, please don't hesitate to contact me.
