Welcome to Mostly Dolls – Your New Home for Doll History and Collecting

Welcome to the brand new Mostly Dolls blog! If you are joining me from my YouTube channel, thank you so much for following my journey over here. And if you stumbled upon this page while searching for doll history, a warm welcome to you! 

Sindy, Tammy and Francie

For a long time, I have wanted a dedicated space where I can combine my deep passion for doll history, identification, and restoration with text and high-quality photo guides. While YouTube is incredible for bringing these vintage dolls to life through video, there is a distinct need for a structured reference guide when you are standing there at a flea market, holding a doll, trying to read a tiny stamp in her neck.That is exactly what this new platform is for.

What to expect here

This blog will function as a companion to the YouTube channel, but with its own unique twist. Here, you will find: 

Behind-the-scenes stories: The background tales of how I acquire rare dolls, my personal collection updates, and thoughts on modern releases.

Restoration diaries: Step-by-step documentation of how I clean, fix, and restore vintage hair and plastic – complete with detailed before-and-after photos.

A Growing Collector's Wiki: Detailed identification articles for Sindy, Fleur, Susi, and other beloved vintage brands.

Start identifying your dolls today!

To celebrate the launch of this new site, I have already published my very first comprehensive guide!
