Remember that treasured stuffed toy or blanket that brought joy and comfort to your childhood, even after it looked a bit worse for wear? For Emily Pribisco of St. Augustine, that cherished item is Puff, the purple hippo she received as a gift on a family vacation when she was four years old.
Emily's children fell in love with Puff, too. But 40 years of love took a toll on Puff and the kids felt sad to see him in disrepair—held together by a thread and safety pin. After a consultation with Mike, Emily entrusted the Oceanside team to gently clean, repair, and restore Puff.
She was thrilled with the results: “The cosmetic procedure took 30 years off her look. She looks like a Puff from the glory days again!”
