Dollieh Sanctuary

I went to the Denver Miniature, Doll, and Toy Museum today and I took my un-named Pong (and if anyone can think of a super cute name, I'm open to suggestions because I have no idea). They have really cool stuff! They have beautiful doll houses, lots of dolls, and some old toys (one room had almost my entire childhood in toys). I was able to get a couple of cute pictures.

The toy store!

And the perfect sized teddy bear and Christmas present I found in the gift shop.


If you're ever in Denver, it's worth the $6 admission to check this place out. I wanted to take home so many of the beautiful doll houses they have!

Ha! She looks super excited to be outside that toy store!

Have you chosen a name for her yet?

Thanks! I still haven't named her lol

Pongs are so adorable. I even love the name, "Pong". Yours is so cute and looks like she's having a lot of fun.

This is adorable. The amount of detail in those miniatures - I wish we had a museum like that here. Your girl's face matches mine when I see an old fashioned toy store like that I also like how how her bear looks like he could have come from the tiny toy shop.
