A place to keep your dolls......?

I just moved into a new house, and my room has a little walk-in closet that I made into a sewing nook, so I keep my dolls in there. I have cats, so I really wanted a door that shuts. It also keeps them out of the sun. If I didn't have that I might try to find them a case, or just a nice high shelf.

 

my doll lives on my pillow ^^ I have a double bed and he's very good at clinging on. It can be a little freaky to suddenly wake up to find a little fairy-sized creature gazing at you, one hand outstretched towards your face XD but he's very comforting on a dark night and I like knowing he's nearby.

 

I keep mine all over the place. Sometimes I have one that I'm playing with on the doll sofa... sometimes they just stay on the human sofa. I have Faye in her box on my sewing table right now... it seems like if I put her with all the other boxes then I'll immediately have to go get her back out and play more. I have my newest girl Rose out on my ironing board/cutting/pinning/extra storage surface with Aiden. I just finished some pants for him last night and she needs a few casual outfits, so she'll be out there for awhile and I didn't want her to get lonely. The others are in their boxes in my room. I don't have any pets though, so I don't really have to worry about animals eating them or something like that.

 

I bought these shelves at Target for like $5 each. They are just big enough for my dollies to sit or stand on, and I bought one for each doll (so they have their own space and can hang things on the wall behind them). They're a great way to keep them up away from pets, but definitely need to be dusted regularly.

 

Aw, that's so cute!
I would be afraid of squishing my doll in the middle of the night, though. It happens all the time with my plushies. xD

My dolls are spread throughtout my bedroom. Sometimes they sit on the dresser next to my bed because like Harlequin-Elle said, it's nice to have them so close. Or they're on my anime shelves. If they need work done to them, then they stay nice and safe in their boxes...Or they sit naked and wigless on my dresser like my one girl. o.o

 

I bought a small cabinet that I keep locked (family doesnt approve of such expensive toys) plus theres usually a toddler on the run so i try to keep them safe. Keep away the dust and light but I dont get to admire them as often as Id like to

 

I keep them in my room so no one sees them

 

Mine are either in their boxes under the bed, or on my ghostly vacant extra bookcase. They only sit on the bed if I'm on there too. I have a cat who's crazy and gets jealous though, and I can see him either smothering the dolls or worse whie I'm away if I left them where he can get them >_>

 

right now since i have no place to put him, i keep my doll in his box! D8>
i want to clean my room at some point...lol...and clear out a shelf specifically for my dolls.
but until then, he's in a box

 

I kind of want to make a dollhouse for my Brownies, but it'd be such a HUGE undertaking, and I only have two and a half, so I'm just not sure I want to do it. Maybe when I'm living in my own house, with plenty of room... but for now, unfortunately, I just can't do it.

All my bigger dollies sit on a couch that was once a doggie bed!

 

aw, that's sad...
do people say things about them or something?

 

no they'll think I am crazy
I am a guy after all and guys collecting dolls is a bit out of the ordinary

 

Mine are all sat on my fireplace (obviously without the fire on!) and people can say what they like I really don't care anymore, I like them and thats all that matters!

 

yeah most people are, people on another forum were surprised that I wasn't shunned here for being a guy
ignorance eh
(puppets are different then dolls, crazies have puppets :P)
