can someone else use my st joesph doll?

The backstory:

We have had our house on sale for about 3 years at the end of July 2015. Sellers and buyers markets have flip flopped many times since then and I was running out of ideas.

We've placed it on social media, 3 different relators, and dropped the price to move to sell. I decided to purchase a St. Joseph doll and have it in my possession. We placed the doll as per instructions and did so on the weekend before Memorial Day.

From having just a few people through out the years to suddenly the opening of the flood gates of people (6 in 3 hrs), and there was a contract and a sale on the house. The buyer was just passing through town when a friend of theirs had called them and told them about the place.

The sale was smooth and I have since retrieved St. Joseph and He is resting comfortably in my new house.

The real question now is that my daughter has her house for sale and is wanting to borrow my St. Joseph doll to place into the loop.

Can this be done?

I've googled many different items and different posing of the questions to no avail.

Give me your thoughts.

Thank you!

    In addition to this,Frankie, but not to declare a debate, why did not the house sell in the prior two years?

    I've done the research since I have vast knowledge of real estate as well as the procedures for real estate assessment. Weird that I would have a great neighborhood, taxes are less than a 1000/year, corner lot with an additional lot and a detached garage. but yet, no customers. been placed all over social media including 3 different Realtors. Hmm..weird.

    The price didn't really drop that far, only 5K. it went from 99500, to 85900.

    St. Joseph dolls are just superstition. They do not really affect the speed of a sale. My friend had one and didn't sell her house until months after she removed the doll because it wasn't selling with it. Your home sold because you dropped the price, not the doll. Also, summer is the time many people look to buy homes so they can be settled before winter and start of school.
