The Sun Lakes Doll Collector Club is gathering all their refurbished 18-inch dolls and their Barbie-type dolls to give to local charities for use as Christmas gifts. For the most part, these dolls were bought at yard sales, donated, or purchased from resale stores. All the dolls have been made to look like new, with clean bodies, gorgeous curls, and accessories, such as a doll-sized quilt, some dresses, PJs, and new shoes.
We accept new members year round. All of us love dolls and proudly display our collections in glass cases and enjoy visits to doll conventions and specialty stores.
To make a donation of a doll, call or text Johnie Scofield at 602-510-7995. At this time, we also want to thank the Sun Lakes Community for their generous support and donations of dolls during 2023. We have opened a doll repair shop on a fee-for-service basis, so if you own a collectable doll that is showing her age, give us a call and we will let you know if we can help, or we will direct you to someone who can. We have fully repaired composition-type dolls from the 1920s and 1930s, as well as older Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls and the favorite doll of the 1980s, the Cabbage Patch doll.
Thank you again for your continued support of our efforts.
