Such a wonderful local business!
I left the doll hobby several years ago, but I decided to venture out here with a close friend who still had hers. It was a bit of a drive, but a beautiful one driving through some picturesque scenery and some farmland.
The shop itself is located in a small shopping center, with a 7-11 and other small businesses. Our GPS directed us slightly furhter down the road, overshooting the store location, so please watch out for that if you are driving there with GPS.
At first it seemed like the shop staff were watching us closely, but I can't blame them. Their store has some expensive wares, and dolls that are literally works of art. But once my friend took her dolls out of the case, the shop owners were extremely helpful and kind, making conversation with us and telling us what was around the shop.
They have pretty much anything you can think of for asian ball-jointed dolls: full sets of the dolls themselves, clothing, wigs, shoes, furniture, accessories, tools for maintenance, everything! And they carry all sorts of popular brands that are big in the BJD community, including Dollzone, Luts, Ringdoll and Soul Doll to name a few. They carry many popular, well-known clothing and wig brands as well, including Dollheart and Leeke.
One of the owners told me that occasionally, they host meet-ups in the store with scavenger hunts and contests, so doll enthusiasts were encouraged to attend. If you visit the store and give the owners your e-mail address, they will notify you of upcoming events.
It was certainly very tempting being in this store. It reminded me of how great the BJD community is, and the creativity and passion that go into these beautiful dolls. I love small businesses too, so I only wish them the best and want to give them my full support! read more
