I have one Royal Doulton lady that was given to me as a birthday gift. She is positively exquisite and has my colouringl. The quality of the workmanship is unsurpassed. It is a work of art and captures the essence of feminine beauty and grace. These figurines are collectors' items. I have her proudly displayed in my antique curio. It was chosen especially for me and she wearing a gown in my favourite colour. I appreciate the sentiment behind this elegant and treasured gift.

If you have a great aunt to buy for every Christmas you will be excited about this story! She collects Royal Doulton figurines, of which I do not share her taste, nor do I have knowledge in this area. However, I found one at Home Sense last year, and it was $80.00! Well, I received an email on Boxing Day just GUSHING about how much she loved it, and how generous I was! So this year I went back to Home Sense, and there was another one, for $50.00! So of course I bought it. I then went to the White Oaks mall here in London, and they have a Royal Doulton outlet, and it was there (exact same one) for $149.00. The salesman boasted that they had them quite cheaply, and I was tempted to say something but held my tongue. I have just now checked online on their website, and the exact same figurine is $325!!!!! My math skills are so poor I cannot calculate the savings, but I know it is major!!!!

Thoroughly satisfied with my purchase, and I know Great Aunt Beatrice will be thrilled :) I heart you Home Sense!
