Two Berjusa Reborn Baby Dolls For Sale in My Etsy Store

Both vintage Berjusa baby dolls are all vinyl and anatomically correct girl dolls. They are sent with the outfits shown plus a couple little surprises. I invite you to take a peek in my store, Imaginitodolls to see all the details.

How It All Began

If someone had told me in 2013 that I would have a doll business/hobby within one year, I would have assured them they were mistaken. I was only interested in making a few art dolls for fun.

    

I have been interested in art dolls for some time and had started researching ways to make them, but I am an artist with a degree in graphic design and a focus on drawing and painting. 

    

The little Titian-haired beauty pictured here is the person who launched a new hobby for me at the end of 2013; a hobby that turned into a business within a few months.

When our kids posted a picture of our granddaughter holding a poster-sized letter to Santa asking for an iPad, her two front teeth and an American Girl doll, I remembered seeing some nice used AG dolls among my research.

 I bought 3 AG dolls in fairly good condition, cleaned and restored them, made outfits for them and had my granddaughter choose which she wanted. I sold the other two, bought a few more and was hooked. 

I also discovered the gorgeous My Twinn 23” posable dolls and made a custom doll to look like my granddaughter.

I purchased other contemporary dolls to restore and see how they were made. I have gained a wealth of knowledge this past year and am looking forward to making my own dolls.

 I will continue to restore or customize contemporary dolls on commission, but once my current inventory is sold, I will no longer purchase dolls to restore, but will be making my own designs.

In the meantime, I am also dabbling in "reborn" babies (dolls) and custom painting small dolls to look like actual people I know. It's all fun and a great journey.

I invite you to follow along by email or to just drop in from time to time. 

If you collect, make, or are just interested in dolls, I would love to hear from you.
