I'm 15 and have been collecting dolls for about a year, I think it's mainly tougher for younger people to collect older dolls due to prices. Many kids don't have jobs, let alone make a decent allowance. I'm blessed to have a grandmother that shares the same love and passion for dolls as I do! Even though our taste in dolls are different. My collection as of now is mainly vintage excluding two which are probably my favorites in my lil' bunch. Slowly but surely I know my collection will grow and it's nice to know they'res people out there that support us.
I started collecting when I was about 19. And my mother-in-law actually started passing on her porcelain dolls that she use to collect to me slowly over the years and I have so many now!! Most of them are from her but I have also found and bought some and I always find them in thrift shops and they have been super affordable they are worth so much more than what they sell them for here. I love all my dolls, but I also too prefer my vintage ones 🥰
Sherilee M Heya! I’d love to show you. I mainly collect antique babydolls. Something about the aesthetic gets me. But I do have some vintage and early collectors dolls. I wouldn’t say my collection of antique dolls are huge but all of my dolls together I would say it’s alot. Ill be sure to dm you!
Jade Wu Heya! Sorry i’m super late with replies. I just got notifications about a year later for this post. Some dolls you can actually find really cheap if you look on the right places. I got a baby bumps 1911 doll in really good condition for 10$ and free shipping because the owner didn’t know what it was. And I got some other vintage babies for 4$ at my local antique mall. You just have to keep a look out and know what you’re purchasing. Sure if you want a nice, marked, no cracks doll it’s definitely going to cost you more. But it’s always worth the wait.
I love seeing young people following their dreams. I'm 33 and I'm just now starting to follow my dreams. Rachel you completely made her day you are a angel in disguise I swear!
Awww, she is so so sweet! I hope she continues to nurture this hobby. Good thing she has you as a role model to inspire her as a doll collector. Magnificent!
I'm a male adult doll collector with over 100 dolls of all different kinds and I'm proud of them. I had an education in 2018 for two month and I brought a doll with me every single day. It turned into an experiment, because I wanted to know what people say about that. I had no bad experiences at all except for that one guy that compared my dolls with Chucky.
Vous avez raison. C’est une collection qui touche à l’esthétique, la restauration et la couture. Et je ne vois pas pourquoi les hommes ne collectionneraient pas des poupées ! Et il y a des artistes !
She is just ADORABLE. Thank you Rachel for being so supportive of her. I just wish more children where like this and wouldn't be in such a hurry to grow up xx
I am 32 now but I never stopped playing with dolls, creating dolls, repairing, collecting and sewing clothes and making houses for doll. This is so sweet! What a lovely girl
Wonderful Rachel , what a great gift for this young doll collector. She will never forget you and your generosity. Later in life when one ask her how she got started she will mention you. She will also encourage others just as she said in the video.
This little girl reminds me of myself and how much i loved dolls as a child......my collection is quite great due to my wonderful loving husband........
i believe it is harder for younger people to collect dolls but it is so important to follow your passion. Don't pay any attention to negative comments or remarks! I had many dolls when i was young and sadly, eventually lost track of them all. Now iIhave been collecting for about 16 years. I am a grandma and am saving dolls for my 2 year old grand daughter for when she gets a little older, in hopes that she will be interested. You are doing a great thing, keep enjoying your hobby!
Love this Rachel. Such a lovely little girl. I’m 68 and have a room full of dolls...all vintage but I hope to save up for an antique fashion doll. I saw the first fashion doll in a museum in SanAntonio is was hooked. She had a huge wardrobe as well as all kinds of accessories like a pack of real cards, a pair of opera glasses and so many other items. Every time we visited my grandparent I begged to go to the McNE which also had an amazing collection of Impressionist paintings, which I also loved.
I’m almost 13 and I have almost 50 vintage Barbie dolls and porcelain dolls. My obsession came when my great grandma died and I got all of her dolls and she had a looooooot
I started collecting 8" Alexander dolls when I was 14. Next month I will be 64 and celebrating 50 years as a doll collector. I meet regularly with friends for lunch with our American Girl dolls. We old ladies get some odd reactions too.
Thank you Rachel ❤️ for giving June such great dolls. June is just adorable, I’d love to have her as my child🥰❤️🤗 I’m so happy you shared this sweet video🥰❤️
This surprising 12 year old girl is fantastic for all the reasons you mentioned. So articulate, appreciative, and nice. She is discovering the joy in folllowing her own dream dispite what her peers might think.
My ❤ is melting. This beautiful girl is so mature,cute and Brite. So you show us videos like this. There's hope that doll collecting will keep going for decades. Thank you.
Oh my Goodness! I know I’m late watching this video but it is one of the most heartwarming ones I’ve viewed in a long time! The joy of this girl was wonderful to see! She was so well spoken. She was so grateful for the gifts you gave her. Her being brought to tears made me cry happy tears as well! Thankful for all you do Rachel to promote and encourage doll lovers of every age around the world! God bless you!
Love it!!! Young girls grow up too fast. They let the pier pressure of their friends stop playing with there dolls. When I was 11 years old we moved from Savannah Ga to Chattanooga TN I was shocked that the girls my age did not play with their dolls any more. I missed playing Barbies with my friend back in Savannah!!!
What a fun video. I would love to know how June is doing with her love of dolls. I loved watching her face as you gave her the large German doll. She could hardly believe it. Wonderful!
Awww I wish I had this kind of support when I was her age ❤️ my aunt was making dolls when I was a baby, so I’ve been assisting making dolls since I was 6, and making dolls at 13. Now that I’m 28, I have 12 antique dolls and 9 antique repro dolls I’ve made myself. I’m very excited to continue this hobby of collecting and teaching others how to make and conserve their dolls. I also get a kick out of being that weird doll man, as we’re very few I’m sure ahahah
@@lilyfleming6220 it’s so positive that there are still younger people collecting though, such as yourself. Doll collecting was a booming industry in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, but due to modern misconceptions and interpretations, dolls have gotten a bad reputation. I hope you enjoy every moment of your collecting, because it’s honestly so enriching!
Thanks for this wonderful Video. I began as a kid to collect Monchhichi from 70s now i have 95 of them. Than I go to rag dolls and I have also old dolls that are 100 years old and Teddy Bears. Yes it is a joy but many people don't understand and thats what she said they are hiding thair old toys from childhood. So be what you want do what you love life is short!!
Love this girl ! I played with dolls until I was twelve or thirteen but continued to collect them for years . It was very kind of you to give her the dolls , she almost cried !
What has this world come to that this 12 year old girl feels the need to hide her love for dolls. I'm literally in tears and so broken hearted by the whole matter. The anti-doll madness needs to stop. It's truly ridiculous! People have always enjoyed dolls throughout all cultures for centuries. Some were even found in Egyptian tombs dating waaayyy back. Now all of sudden in the past twenty years or so dolls are deemed "creepy" by many. Why? Because of a couple of stupid movies. Technology like a cell phone should never replace basic learning tools like a doll. Dolls strengthens nurturing and caring skills in the young which helps develop empathy. They also provide a sense of security for the child. It is a wonderful learning tool to have in emotional development. And. .they are BEAUTIFUL! What has our world come to that a 12 year old girl feels the need to hide her love for dolls? My heart breaks for the younger generation.
I want to start collecting dolls! Today I bought my first doll. My sister hates my doll and she wants me to throw it away. She keeps calling it a demon, even tho her friend’s mom has a doll collection.
Do NOT give up! Sounds like a jealous sister to me, who might want to be invited to join you at some point! For now, ignore it and keep your dolls in a very safe place (ask a parent for help with that). You are going on to great things, if you stick with it.
My hubby and I both collect. Our children all say our dolls are creepy but when we go as a family out. If they see a doll they are the first to point it out. Do not let anyone tell you what you should be doing either with collecting or life, Follow your heart
I agree! She is probably just very jealous! She should never ever stop you from collecting dolls! Collect as many as you can! 💕 I have about 24 dolls and I won’t be stopping anytime soon!
When I was 10 in 1971 I loved going to the neighbors across the street and the teen girl about 16 years old had her Barbie house and car and about 10 or more Barbie's and a few Kens. She also looked like Barbie and was popular. The dolls were made for teens and woman and fashion. Younger kids usually did not have as many because we had dolls more our age and our baby dolls.
I have so many old dolls I would love to find good homes for. I don't want to sell them. I just want to give them to someone young like June. Rachel that was the most sweetest thing you did to give June those dolls. I could tell she was about to cry she was so happy.
i’m 11 and i have sooo many dolls! i have so many barbies and i counted and i had about 15 baby dolls so far. i’m only 11 so i’ll be collecting a lot more :)
Wow that’s really awesome!! I collect Antique porcelain dolls too and I haven’t found any young doll collectors so coming across this was really awesome. I will be posting my collection on Instagram soon! 💕
I'm 15 and at 10 I started to like old dolls when I was 12 I started looking for that type of dolls but I couldn't find any old doll becose I'm mexican and here it's difficult to get that dolls so at 13 I found a doll from the 70's it's a lili lady doll that walks they are similar to the patty play pal dolls and so far my dream remains to be a collector of antique dolls I hope one day find a doll from the 19th centuary they are very pretty
liked dolls her entire life? she’s 12 ! ha ha just kidding, 🤗. my Mom loved dolls, she bought old dumped Barbies, Babies,etc & fixed them up & made beautiful costumes for them. She did amazing sewing.
I wish I could go to your shop but the shop is too far away, Also I’m a 9 year old and as soon as I saw a beautiful doll at an estate sale and bought it I have been obsessed with collecting dolls, I’m hoping to go antiquing with my dad (idk if thats a word but my dad uses that word)
I’m 16 and bjds are my weakness I have only two atm a makie and a small Japanese bjd that’s a jester and am saving for a smart doll vinyl pricey I know but so pretty I also own three American girls a precious moments clown and two cabbage patch kids
You're lucky your mom believes it was normal for girls to play with dolls at 12. It was the opposite for me. My family believed i was too old at 11. They took them all away. :( i hope you're still collecting
Hello Rachel Hoffman, I just found your youtube videos, my brother is really into collecting all vintage vinyl dolls, and Im getting on the band wagon as well, He wants me to try to contact you where your doll shop location and address, and also the possibly purchasing from you, I visited your ebay store but there are not any of the vinyl vintage dolls. thank you for sharing your videos and your shop we are really excited and may come out to visit your doll shop many blessings to you.
Hi Karen! Thanks for watching. We are in Denver, Colorado. We are closed but we are always posting dolls on our eBay site, our seller name is "Elegantes" and we love sharing on RUclips. Thanks for watching!
I collect bisque dolls cause I love how beautiful and aesthetic they are but anyone who sees my dolls they get creeped out and say lot of hurtful things like "they are outdated,useless cause noone can play with it,they are creepy etc" it really pisses me a lot.
I also collect Antique porcelain dolls, and I also had someone say that they find dolls really creepy and that bothered me for a long time until now I don’t care what people think of my dolls anymore.
@@sherileem7335 exactly,am trying to start collecting more once this pandemic situation ends.At the end of the day collecting dolls makes me happy so I stopped caring what others think of it.
piscespie 93 Same! I won’t ever stop collecting and I will never sell my dolls, ever. I do hope to pass them down one day to someone that has the same passion. Do you have Instagram? Please could you give me a follow @hairmakeup_me. I would love to see your collection! 💖
Try a 4 year old, my goddaughter has a huge baby doll collection that she’s got over the years. She still has the first baby doll she ever got, her mom told me they were packing up toddler toys but not a single baby doll or baby doll accessory got put in the box, the first doll she got was a rag doll rattle with the words “ babies first dolly” stitched into the torso and she said it’s was a “big girl toy”. She hates Barbie tho and isn’t interested in them just baby or dolls that look like little girls, her older ones are all vinyl except for a China head and hands baby doll that she keeps in a vintage doll crib and only takes out in a stroller or carries it in a pillow wrapped in blankets, she has old drink and wet ones I’ve helped fix for her and a million other dolls, honestly I don’t think she will ever grow out of them
What company made the big articulated doll that needs a wig shes absolutely beautiful and I would love too look into them and get my own I'm 17 and there is not a day in my life I can remeber not having dolls and have been fully collecting dolls since i was six

Prices are softer than in the past, save your money for one special piece. Buy what you like and you will never go wrong.

What a lovely young lady. I'd love to see what she does with her doll!
She is a very sweet girl!
Sweet !!!
When I was 10 in 1971 I loved going to the neighbors across the street and the teen girl about 16 years old had her Barbie house and car and about 10 or more Barbie's and a few Kens. She also looked like Barbie and was popular. The dolls were made for teens and woman and fashion. Younger kids usually did not have as many because we had dolls more our age and our baby dolls.
What a cool kid
I’m still 9 but I still love antique dolls
Antique dolls are so cool!
thats so sweet !!
Glad you enjoyed this!
This is so sweet❤
I also used to make clothes for my dolls.
That's great! Making clothes is very rewarding!
I have so many old dolls I would love to find good homes for. I don't want to sell them. I just want to give them to someone young like June. Rachel that was the most sweetest thing you did to give June those dolls. I could tell she was about to cry she was so happy.
I hope you find an amazing home(s) for your sweet dolls. Thanks for tuning in!
Wow ! LUCKY girl ! I wonder how much this doll measures she pretty big !
Thanks for watching!

Beautiful 🌹
Many many thanks
I'm 15 and at 10 I started to like old dolls when I was 12 I started looking for that type of dolls but I couldn't find any old doll becose I'm mexican and here it's difficult to get that dolls so at 13 I found a doll from the 70's it's a lili lady doll that walks they are similar to the patty play pal dolls and so far my dream remains to be a collector of antique dolls I hope one day find a doll from the 19th centuary they are very pretty

liked dolls her entire life? she’s 12 ! ha ha just kidding, 🤗. my Mom loved dolls, she bought old dumped Barbies, Babies,etc & fixed them up & made beautiful costumes for them. She did amazing sewing.
This was so sweet, Rachel.
I wish I could go to your shop but the shop is too far away, Also I’m a 9 year old and as soon as I saw a beautiful doll at an estate sale and bought it I have been obsessed with collecting dolls, I’m hoping to go antiquing with my dad (idk if thats a word but my dad uses that word)
We love antiquing!
Congratulations.. I just subscribe for your channel.

@@RachelHoffmanDolls thank you!!
I collect bisque dolls cause I love how beautiful and aesthetic they are but anyone who sees my dolls they get creeped out and say lot of hurtful things like "they are outdated,useless cause noone can play with it,they are creepy etc" it really pisses me a lot.
ignore them, to quote the TS, haters gonna hate, shake it off;-)
I also collect Antique porcelain dolls, and I also had someone say that they find dolls really creepy and that bothered me for a long time until now I don’t care what people think of my dolls anymore.
People just find it easier to be rude than rather be nice!
@@sherileem7335 exactly,am trying to start collecting more once this pandemic situation ends.At the end of the day collecting dolls makes me happy so I stopped caring what others think of it.
piscespie 93 Same! I won’t ever stop collecting and I will never sell my dolls, ever. I do hope to pass them down one day to someone that has the same passion. Do you have Instagram? Please could you give me a follow @hairmakeup_me. I would love to see your collection! 💖

Hi! We are located in Denver, Colorado
Me 15 and I want to customize glass dolls and make a art Business form it
Try a 4 year old, my goddaughter has a huge baby doll collection that she’s got over the years. She still has the first baby doll she ever got, her mom told me they were packing up toddler toys but not a single baby doll or baby doll accessory got put in the box, the first doll she got was a rag doll rattle with the words “ babies first dolly” stitched into the torso and she said it’s was a “big girl toy”. She hates Barbie tho and isn’t interested in them just baby or dolls that look like little girls, her older ones are all vinyl except for a China head and hands baby doll that she keeps in a vintage doll crib and only takes out in a stroller or carries it in a pillow wrapped in blankets, she has old drink and wet ones I’ve helped fix for her and a million other dolls, honestly I don’t think she will ever grow out of them
Thank you so much for sharing and for watching!
