She buys the dolls clothing and toys, and she and her husband take them on trips, posting on their website pictures of the dolls at the Eiffel Tower and Mount Fuji. "We're not crazy people," she insists. With their son in college, "we just find comfort in these dolls, as others might in their pets."
