Bring a little piece of doll history into your crafting, journalling, and storytelling.
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new Etsy store — filled with charming digital downloads inspired by some of the most beloved dolls in our museum.
These aren’t just any printables. They’re scenes and snippets drawn from the heart of My Doll Cottage — little windows into the childhood worlds of the late 1800s and early 1900s, lovingly reimagined for you to print, cut, and create with.
Whether you’re a junk journaller, vintage ephemera collector, or doll enthusiast, these designs have been created to spark joy, curiosity, and nostalgia.
As we’ve been cataloguing and restoring some of the older dolls in our collection — many dating back over 100 years — we couldn’t help but imagine the lives they once lived.
From wax-faced girls in lace-trimmed dresses to porcelain toddlers with mohair curls, these dolls once lived in nurseries and parlours, perched on shelves or tucked into wooden cradles.
Our first digital release was a tribute to Annette Himstedt Atlantis Children Collection— a collection of printable pages and elements that bring their stories to life.

Whether you’re here for the history or the art, we hope our digital downloads bring alittle piece of My Doll Cottage into your own creative world.
