Welcome to The Dolls, The Witch & The Wardrobe — a cozy corner where grown-ups rediscover imagination through dolls, tiny fashion, and creative play.
I collect fashion dolls across many eras and aesthetics — from thrifted rescues to pristine beauties — and I love giving dolls new life through styling, redressing, makeovers, dioramas, and handmade accessories.
This channel celebrates the kind of play many of us never got enough of as kids — making tiny things, arranging sets, photographing dolls, brushing hair into dramatic silhouettes, and building little worlds where creativity can breathe. Here, play isn’t childish — it’s restorative, imaginative, grounding, and joyful.
Expect unboxings, fashion showcases, DIY minis, doll crafts, cozy projects, and deeper storytelling about identity, nostalgia, and creativity. Whether you’re a longtime collector or new to the hobby, you’re welcome here.
This space is for adult doll collectors seeking comfort, creativity, and a bit of magic. ✨

You asked and I’m happy to share a photo of Miss High Sierra Blue Sky! She is an Australian Cattle Dog and pictured with her lamb and pig. ❤️

Hi doll friends 💛
A quick heads-up on the posting schedule for the rest of the 12 Days of Christmas Barbie Alternating Advent. Unfortunately, I had a little hiccup in my production schedule for this series - just work obligations, personal responsibilities (my sweet doggo got sick) and family holiday derailed my intent to create 12 separate videos for this series. 🤗 Sorry! I tried my best! 🤗
Instead of individual videos on Thursday and Saturday, I’ll be sharing a combined finale video (Drawers 10–12) on Monday, which will be the final day of our advent series.
March Payne will still be posting his videos on the original schedule, so be sure to keep following along over on March Payne’s Midlife Dolly Crisis as the other half of the calendar continues to unfold.
I’m really looking forward to closing out this little holiday world with you — and thank you, as always, for being such a thoughtful and generous community. 🎄✨

Listen - I am ALL in - it's like Project Runway for home seamstresses - like The Great British Bakeoff format for sewing. I LOVE it.

If you’re in the mood for more advent coziness, Nicky’s Dolly World is doing a lovely daily series this month. Her Day 3 video is especially heartwarming (and her kitty Chico makes an appearance!). Go give her some love. 💗 😊

✨ Day 2/Drawer 2 Premieres in Just a Bit! ✨
I’m having so much fun kicking off #12DaysOfChristmasBarbie with all of you. Day 1 was such a sweet return — thank you for every comment, every watch, every kind word.
Today’s video is all about building the mid-century holiday set for our advent series — think atomic sparkle, gold glamour, and a little bit of crafty magic.
⭐ If you're crafting along with me, I’d love to see what you’re making.
You can send photos to: thedollsthewitchthewardrobe@gmail.com
I’ll feature some of your creations in a community post next week!
Let’s keep our alternating advent going strong — @MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis is up next tomorrow, and then I’m back with Drawer 3 on Thursday.
Thank you for making this series feel like a little holiday ritual already. More sparkle soon. 💛✨

I just watched March’s new explainer on March Payne’s Midlife Dolly Crisis, and if you haven’t seen it yet, go watch — it’s classic March: warm, funny, and packed with doll joy.
This year, March and I are joining forces for something truly special:
The 12 Days of Christmas Barbie — Alternating Advent.
Here’s the simple version:
• We both open Box 1 of our 12 Days of Christmas Barbie calendars on December 1
• After that, we alternate posting days all month long (always at the same time of day)
• March is opening the 2023 12 Days of Christmas Barbie doll on his channel
• I’m opening the 2024 version
• I’ll also be creating handmade “dupes” inspired by whatever comes out of each drawer, so anyone who loves these mid-century beauties can join in without hunting the secondary market or chasing collector pricing. It’s about creativity, accessibility, and the pleasure of making something with your own hands.
So you'll get a fresh advent video every day from December 1 through Christmas Eve — some on my channel, some on March Payne’s Midlife Dolly Crisis.
If you want cozy mid-century crafts, Barbie styling, and vintage sparkle — I’ve got you.
If you want collector joy, sharp humor, and a few surprises — March has you covered.
Follow along with #12DaysOfChristmasBarbie. It all starts December 1.
