Dolls & Designs By Sandi

Jimmy Garcia

Took my Mom, who is very much into doll collecting and dressing them up, to this neat little gem in downtown Valdese. The owner was very sweet and engaging, and had a lot of knowledge about the unique history of the city, as her family have deep roots there. It is clear by the incredible abundance of old dolls that she is an artist, and loves fixing and dressing the dolls for sale or repair. There was hardly any empty shelf space! My Mom was able to find quite a bit of doll clothes that would be hard to find. While my Mom spent over an hour there, I took a break and checked out the long mural across the street that illustrated the history. We plan to return, and are grateful for this unique place!

Oh my goodness I could not believe all the beautiful dolls in there if you have not been in there its quite interesting and Sandy not only makes dolls but also hand paints their faces and makes the beautiful clothes they are wearing which are designed for their time period, there are also several beautiful life size dolls that she made .

What a wonderful store! My boyfriend, furbaby and I went for a walk in downtown Valdese today and stumbled upon Dolls & Designs; I’m so glad we did. Sandi was so kind and easy going. I was blown away by her vast knowledge and doll collection. She’s truly talented. I will tell anyone interested in doll repair or doll making to go visit her shop. It’s one of a kind!
