I have been very lucky to have my baby hand delivered by Fiona’s husband on Saturday. Just being handed the box I was so excited loved the fact that all the details even down to the ribbons in the box had been do with such precision, each individual item from the tissue paper that she was wrapped up and the essential bag at the placed at the bottom of the box, beautiful care package of change of clothes, hairbrush, dummy, flower and nappies to name a few.
I am overjoyed at my beautiful baby and how much work has gone into her has amazed me, the attention to detail is spot on, from her realistic skin to her birth mark on the back of her neck to her soft blond/brown hair even the weight feels right. I think you are a very talented person in being able to make these babies come to life as much as you do You have an excellent gift and anyone that receives a baby from you will NOT be disappointed Thanks so much Heather Venis

This is my second baby from Scrumptious Babies and I thought long and hard on which sculpt I wanted Fiona to reborn. I chose Shannon by Ann Timmerman. This baby has the most creamiest peaches and cream skin tones I have ever seen. All of her wrinkles are so real like that its hard to know if she is a doll or a real baby…. When I first opened the box I look out all the little clothes and hair brush and her cute pink paci and knew she was the best dressed baby around. Then came time to open the blanket and see my baby….. The minute I seen her I let out a squeal!!! She was PERFECT in every way. Her curly blonde hair and her delicately peachy cheeks were amazing!!!! I could not keep from touching her skin over and over again….This babies mottling is blended in so well that is compliments her peaches and cream skin. Katie Marie has beautiful glass eyes too. There is no way to describe just how perfect of a reborning job this girl has done by seeing pictures. You HAVE to have one in your arms to know what a truly great artist Fiona is! You will NOT be disappointed in any baby that comes from Scrumptious Babies… They are perfect in every way. I would have a housefull if I could…. So so happy with my little darling. Thank you Fiona….

I have been very lucky to live near Fiona so my little bundle was hand delivered to me,
Just being handed the box had me excited as it was tied with a ribbon and had an "it's a boy" balloon attatched and made it feel all the more special for my new arrival.
On opening the box i was taken back with how much care had gone into packaging Noah, each individual item from the Layette was wrapped up and placed at the bottom of the box by Noah's feet...a beautiful care package of bib, hairbrush, dummy, bottle of milk to name a few.
I am overjoyed at my beautiful baby and how much work has gone into him has amazed me, the attention to detail is spot on, from his realistic skin to his soft brown hair even the weight feels right. At the moment, Noah is upstairs with his granny being cuddled in his new little outfit she got him and she is so surprised at how real he looks she cant put him down.
I think you are a very unique person in being able make these babies for collectors and comforters, i have been to various other websites and im quite sure that this is the best quality work i have seen.
you have an excellent gift and i couldnt have asked for a more beautiful baby boy.
Kind Regards

I lost my son in Jan this year .I was looking 4 something to do or join to ease the grieving i am going thro.Altho he was a 37 yr old man who left 5 children ..I needed something for comfort.. my daughter had started to collect re-borns and after giving one of hers a cuddle one day i decided i'd look into collecting them too.Just by chance i came across Fi's Facebook Page and asked her about her babies... At the time she was making a baby girl called Hannah Louise, Who would be coming up 4 sale when re-born.As i kind of followed her progress I Was really interested in Hannah...The day came when i saw her 4 sale i loved her And had to have her. I contacted Fiona to make arrangements but just after i read she was sold ...I thought i'd missed out ...Devestated i was so sad ...But then found out she was sold to me lol...She now lives in PERTH Western Australia and is named WILLOW ROSE..MY PRINCESS...Thanks to fiona shes helped ease my pain a bit..Plan on getting another after Christmas ...Thankyou Fi always Gill xxx

Hiya just to let you no lucy-ann arrived this mornin and is absolutely stunning,even more beautiful than she lookd in the pics I'm so happy with her and I'm goin to treasure her forever.thankyou so much!xxx ***
When I first opened the beautiful birthing package that Rosa Lynn was sent to me in I just gasped! This baby looked so absolutely real it was amazing. Everything about the baby was perfect. Her new born coloring, mottling, hair, creases…EVERYTHING. I could not have adopted a more perfect baby. I adopted her for my mother who is 80 years old and we made a birthing production of her. It felt like a birth of a real baby… the anticipation of opening all the pretty pink tissue paper with all the little gifts and her clothing and the special things….. not to mention the main package…. Our baby….you fall in love it her the minute you see and hold her just like your own real life baby…. It was exciting and amazing. 
Now to talk about the details of the baby….. I have just begun to learn the art of reborning and having adopted Rosa Lynn and seeing her skin tones and all the colors and undertoning on her I am amazed and in awe at the work and time that has gone into reborning this doll. Her mottling matches almost perfect to that of a new live born baby. This doll looks like she could roll over and start cooing at you. Learning and knowing how to apply the paint layers is one thing… but how to achieve the results is truly an “art” I can only dream of coming close to making my doll look like this one. The baby’s hair is perfectly micro rooted and honestly looks real!! If we had a live baby laying right beside Rosa Lynn it would be hard to tell them apart.
Now on to the artist, Fiona Lester. I would call her a Professional Master Artist. She has mastered the art of reborning to a T. I have showed her work (Rosa Lynn) off to some other professionals and they are amazed at the quality of the work she has achieved. If you are looking at the baby’s online and wondering who to choose to make your reborn look no further. You will be 100% pleased with your adoption of any baby from Scrumptious Babies. Fiona Lester puts such detail into the work she does. Every little crease, and every little birth mark, eye brows, lips, finger and toe nails are done to perfection. If you want a perfect baby to adopt then please talk to Fiona…You will be so happy.
I have placed another adoption request for my own baby who will be born later this year.

I would like to thank Fiona for adding such a beautifully made reborn to our family. Luke (or George as he was known) was delivered to me earlier today. He is absolutely adorable! The attention to detail has blown me away! I can't stop looking at him, kissing him and cuddling him! His skin is painted so beautifully and is so natural looking, his wrinkles, veins and blemishes are so lifelike he can easily be mistaken for a real baby! His hair is of fantastic quality and has been obviously done with a great amount of attention and care. His clothing is gorgeous and good quality and packaged exquisitely. Each item was wrapped in tissue paper and tied in a bow. Fiona's service has been amazing! Nothing has been too much, prompt replies to questions and queries and she has been incredibly helpful and accommodating! I looked at many reborn babies that were for sale and kept coming back to Fiona's as they stood out from the rest! Value wise I think Fiona is underselling herself! These babies are worth so much more and the photographs do not do them justice. I can't fault anything about service or the baby i received. I would highly recommend Fiona and hope that many others will appreciate the talent that she has and that Scrumptious Babies grows into a very successful venture for her!
Thank you Fiona!! You are outstanding at what you do!! Melanie x x x

She's an absolute dream and I must also mention that your packaging was something else. If I hadn't been so excited to open her I wouldn't have wanted to open all the little parcels! It was like Christmas, but with the best present ever. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Love Phoebe xxx"
