My name is Michaela Bush, and I've been in love with repairing dolls since I was a little girl. For years, I watched my mother, Carolyn (owner of CJ's Crafts Shop on Etsy) repair dolls and create custom Reborn dolls. She also worked with Galoob Baby Face dolls. I can also remember, as a child, going to Goodwill to pick out a couple of Barbies, then taking them home to scrub up and call my own.
Now that she's running her own craft business and I'm out of college, we decided to open a business that repaired and customized dolls, especially by brands like American Girl, Disney, Mattel fashion dolls, and so forth. But we needed a name for our store, and nothing seemed to fit very well. One day we were talking about my mother's garden and how we could use the plants in it to stage pictures of a custom Camille that we were working on, and my mother came up with our name: Blueberry Hill Dolls. The place where we live used to be filled with blueberry plants, and thus, our business name is a throwback to what our land once was. That's kind of like our business purpose, too: taking something old and turning it into something fresh, new, and exciting.
Please feel free to take a look around our shiny new website, or feel free to stop by the official Etsy store, Blueberry Hill Dolls. We hope to see you around!
