Adoption

We place dolls. We don’t just sell them.

Adoption is a small ritual of its own: a conversation, a careful packing, and a story handed from our cabinet to your care. Here’s exactly how it goes.

1

Choose a resident

Browse the collection and read each doll’s provenance, disposition, and story until one stays with you.

2

Send an inquiry

Use the doll’s “Begin Adoption” form. Tell us a little about your home and what draws you to it.

3

A short conversation

We reply with everything we know and answer your questions. If it’s a good match, we confirm and arrange payment securely.

4

Documented & packed

Your doll is photographed, its provenance card finalized, and it’s cushioned into a fitted box.

5

Insured passage

It ships fully insured and tracked, timed to avoid harsh weather for fragile antique materials.

6

A new threshold

It arrives with its card and a care note. Greet it, give it a place — and let the story continue.

Every adoption includes

What travels with your doll.

Provenance card
Written history, origin, era, and disposition for your piece.
Care note
Etiquette and conservation guidance specific to that doll.
Insured shipping
Cushioned, fitted packing; tracked and insured nationwide.
The curator
A standing line to us for anything you notice or wonder, after.
Before you adopt

Honest answers.

We offer every piece as a curio for entertainment and collection. The stories we share are each doll’s lore and provenance as it was passed to us — we make no guarantee of paranormal activity. What we do guarantee is honest history and honest condition.
Each doll is documented, gently packed in a fitted, cushioned box, and shipped fully insured within the United States, with tracking. Fragile pieces are timed to avoid extreme heat or cold.
The doll, its written provenance card, and a care-and-etiquette note specific to that piece. Anything original to the doll — clothing, stands, accessories — is noted and included.
We place dolls rather than simply sell them. A short conversation about your home helps us match the right piece to the right keeper — and gives you room to ask anything before committing.
If a piece arrives not as described, contact us within 7 days and we’ll make it right. Because each doll is one of a kind and the bond is personal, any other concerns are discussed case by case.
