Tree Change Dolls® is about recycling used fashion dolls to create dolls that reflect real children ready to explore the world!
My sisters and I grew up playing with second-hand dolls and home-made toys in the beautiful Tasmanian natural environment. I love the satisfaction of repairing and reusing discarded items to give them a new lease on life.
The story of how my Tree Change Dolls® began is told in this ten minute documentary:

Each doll I create has been rescued and rehabilitated from a discarded doll. These little fashion dolls have opted for a change of lifestyle, swapping high-maintenance glamour for down-to-earth style. I hand repaint the dolls faces, mold new shoes, and my Mum and I together sew and knit their clothing.
I create a group of dolls each month. I generally make them available on the first Wednesday of each month, and ship them worldwide to their new homes.
Please follow my facebook page www.facebook.com/treechangedolls to be informed of when I will be posting dolls for sale. (Each group of dolls I have posted so far has sold out within a few seconds of posting, but you can have a look at them under 'sold items'.) You can also sign up to my mailing list at:

If there are no dolls for sale when you visit my shop, it is because they have all sold out. If you wish to support my work please consider purchasing a set greeting cards featuring my original photographs of the very first set of my Tree Change Dolls®. I also sell a downloadable DIY guide and knitting patterns for those creative types who wish to re-style their own dolls!
