Tiffany Lenoi Jones (fly boho artivist educator of TLCbyTLJ.com, pictured on the right) and Erin Jones (fierce stylish fashion designer with a cause of SpikesandSequins.com, pictured on the left). They are best friends,sisters, and creative partners. Our grandmother made dolls and moms’ threads. Therefore it’s no surprise that her granddaughters are artists.

We grew up with cloth dolls in our home. Our mother began collecting cloth dolls when she had us. She found the dolls in TOY R US didn’t represent her black daughters and were not unique. So when she attended her first black doll show she FOUND HER ANSWER! Soon our grandmother began her own doll line named Mama Love dolls. It was their goal to have positive images in our home to refer to. And our dolls were some of those images. They were brown, stylish, colorful, well made and individual. It’s our goal to continue that legacy. Therefore we began Love, Mama in 2001 with the guidance of experienced doll artist the late Adrienne McDonald.
