Dublin

Doll’s Hospital and Teddy Bear Clinic

Such was the outcry at the news this Dublin institution was to close down that our radio waves were filled with worried callers, until the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre stepped in and rehoused this wonderful shop in their Georgian ballroom. As you look around you suddenly realise how much effort goes into making a dolls house. All walls are packed with displays of miniature furniture, doors, windows, food and utensils... and there is even a display of wallpapers and floor coverings, while a restoration service is available to bring life back into an old house. You can create your own dolls or attend the Dolls School and make your own princess porcelain doll. Upstairs at the Teddy Bear Clinic you are asked to stay quiet for the patients. All old, ill or torn teddy bears and dolls can be brought here to be mended and loved back to health. With over 21 years of experience, let Melissa do her best for your loved one.

Hi I was wondering if you could help me. My daughter has a doll that she takes everywhere with her. To her its a real baby. The problem is she has drawn on its face with pen and marker and it has become very dirty with wear and tear. I've tried everything to get it off . Have you any ideas or could I buy special paint for it. Please any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sinead.

A great big Thank you to all the staff at the dolls hospital for fixing a doll which i,ve had for over 40 years and needed two new eyes. Just received it through the post this morning and i,m delighted. The staff are so friendly and very helpful. My only problem now is i,ll hav a fight on my hand when my own two daughters come home from school each wanting to claim her!! Thankyou all so much again. Well worth a trip to Dublin.

I am excited to visit your Doll shop the end of October. I am a miniature enthusiast from Versailles KY USA. I belong and active with the National Association of Miniature Enthusias for more than 30 years. I have been collecting and love making all sorts of vignettes. I especially love the older dollhouses and their accessories. This will be my fourth trip to Ireland. It never gets old. I love the people country side and everything old Ireland has to offer. I have traveled with the same group the previous three trips and our guide is from Dublin. We will be visiting the South west area of Ireland; Waterford Cobh Blarney Dingle Killarney; via bus. Probably will not get to see Tara'sPalace. Are there any other miniature shops or such in the south west area of Ireland. I will gladly comment when I get back home.

I have to thank the lovely ladies nurses at the Dollstore for putting new eyes in my daughters favourite doll on 11 June 2011. To see my daughter's face when I brought her home to Belfast...would have made you weep with joy! Thank God for such a magical place!Donnaxxx
