This Is What We Do

We are preservers of history. We have a passion for saving things, rethinking, recreating and breathing new life into worn-out objects. We are passionate about reducing our impact on earth and collectively caring for this planet we call “home”. We bleed creativity. We are whimsical. We are artists.

We didn’t necessarily have to play with dolls growing up to have a deep appreciation for their significance in our lives. We knew they understood us as well as their purpose to provide companionship and supervision. In return, we took care of them. We washed their tiny clothes even when they weren’t dirty, mended holes with elementary stitching and kept their hair permed just like ours using tiny straws and bobby pins.

Today we recognize and cherish our gift to see beyond crazing, matted hair and ink-stained vinyl to the treasure that lies beneath. We provide refuge to dolls passing through time on their way to a better future. We give them the chance to tell their story. Then, we send them on their way to write a new chapter. They are the constant subjects of our inspiration and the glue that binds us. We are the Doll Rescue League. Bold and uninhibited in our work, together, we experiment, educate and inspire! Are you one of us?
