Giving Cherished Dolls a Second Life
Thoughtful restoration for dolls and collectibles with history, character, and stories worth preserving.
Porcelain Repair
Welcome to Treasured Collectibles and Doll Hospital
At Treasured Collectibles and Doll Hospital, I believe every doll has a story.
Some dolls have been loved for generations. Some have spent years tucked away in attics or closets. Others arrive after years of wear, damage, or simply being forgotten.
My goal is not always to make a doll look brand new.
Instead, I carefully consider what makes each piece special and what restoration will best preserve its character, history, and story.
Every doll and collectible is different, and each one is approached with patience, care, and respect for the original piece

Not Every Doll Needs to Look New.
Sometimes the most beautiful restoration is the one that honors what came before.
The goal isn't to erase the past. It's to help each doll move forward with her story intact.
A Treasured Doll Deserves Thoughtful Care
Whether your doll has been in your family for generations, was recently discovered, or has suffered damage along the way, every restoration begins by understanding the piece and what it means to you.
From antique and vintage doll restoration to damaged porcelain repair, each piece is considered individually before the work begins.
I repair and restore antique and vintage dolls, including composition dolls and porcelain dolls. I can rebuild missing or damaged areas and, when appropriate, find replacement parts.
Whenever possible, I use restoration techniques that respect the doll's original materials, character, and history.
Caring for Treasured Dolls Since 2001
I opened Treasured Collectibles and Doll Hospital in 2001 with a simple belief: every treasured doll deserves to be treated with patience, care, and respect for its history.

I'm Kristy Neal, the person behind Treasured Collectibles and Doll Hospital. For me, restoration is a balance between craftsmanship and preservation. I want the work to be beautiful, while still respecting the doll's age, history, and character.
Every doll that comes through the Doll Hospital has a story. I consider it a privilege to help preserve it.
