Dolls given a New Life

1/12th scale dressed Dolls. I take second hand and unloved dolls and redress them for a new life.

Doll Styles

Dolls are redressed in Period Costume from Roman to the 20th Century .

Trading

We only sell our refurbished dolls at the shows we attend, please see the Show listings for the dolls house shows that we will be attending over the next 12 months.

“Redress, Refurbish, Reuse.”

With this in mind, our objective is to Save 1/12th scale dolls from being discarded in the rubbish by refurbishing and reusing and giving them a New life.

I have been making 1/12th scale period figures on a part time basis, for about 10 years.
I am now making on a full-time basis and traveling to various shows around the country.
Most of the figures are second hand that I have stripped back to their foundations to rebuild and refurbish.

I then dress the figure in period costume and re do the hair.
There are Lords and Ladies, Soldiers Servants, Villagers, Children and Peasants from Roman Period to 20th Century.
