So glad I could finally return to Mary Charles Doll House!! This doll store opened in the 1970’s and is located in Birmingham Alabama! They also have an incredible selection of 1:12 scale dollhouses and miniatures! The Madame Alexander section is incredibly impressive though those aren’t my interest. This sort of store is so incredible and exciting to find since, for the most part, the collector stores that still operate are focused mostly (or exclusively) on action figures and comic books. I also like that this store combines new old stock (and new stock) sales with thrift-style product sales as well. Such an exciting and magical place. Not many of these types of stores still exist unfortunately 🙁
It’s super special to see pristine Pleasant Company American Girl dolls and Silkstone and original Barbie dolls in great shape all in one place.

Is that a tall bratz doll where you get it wants to find one to get one. U find the coolest items. I wish I could go to that shop. 😊 You must have a good job to buy so much items lol I’m still trying to catch up. lol.
I would loveeee to see an unboxing and review of thise Barbie Cat dolls. I never knew they existed and now I'm obsessed 😍. Also if you could would you do a washing your AG clothes?
Dolls with cat ears I can't get enough of 👍
I am loving you really get into your Barbie era collecting! I saw your video last year and loved it. Where is this doll store at? Please share so we may be able to travel there !❤
bro i am rocking with the lounge kittys, the 2000s where just such a good era for ms barbra in general
Okay, I NEED to come here! I saw your last video, but this is AMAZING!
I loved this video so much! I collect dolls and I have a doll house full of miniatures. This store is full of treasures! Thanks for showing us. 🤗
I'm howling at how you destroy that display lmfao of the $25 and under Barbies 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lounge kitties are so cool! Would love to find them one day. Quick question: Do you know how to clean nanana surprise dolls? I found some at my thrift store.
I’m so glad you got that beautiful American girl doll. I would have too. She’s so sweet💕🥰
Omgeeee i need the hunch back doll sooo bad 🥺😫‼️
The miniature stuff made my day
Thank you for showing the miniatures! My dad used to build and make all the furniture and such for them. It’s such a rare talent. We still have so many items from when he worked there. I’d love to share photos of what he’s built
Brooke can you please start posting more Disney content
Aw the american girl you picked up is super cute. I was not really into the 18 in dolls until my daughter seemed to like them. We have discovered there are some we like and others that we don't as much. For american girl and our generation. My daughter really fell in love with an american girl we found thrifting who has had a bad haircut. Blonde wavy hair and ice blue eyes. Not sure which she is but she has a short bob cut now. I did my best to style it nice for her. But she is her favorite. I loved the video. I had watched the first one to that store and loved it also. I could not tell in the madame alexander room but did they have the alex dolls. It was their attempt at dolls like tonner dolls. They are fashion dolls. I have found some reasonably priced. I do have a small collection of the alex fashion dolls. They are very nice. The clothing quality is amazing. I still have to try their clothing on my tonner dolls but they look to be similar size. I was looking for them but did not see any in the room. I may go back and see in the video. They would be similar in size to your titanic doll.
I NEED to see the cat barbies up close!!!! They are gorgeous
This is such a cool store! Places like this are few and far between if any at all in the UK.
Im not usually fussed about AG dolls but that No 8 with the red hair is gorgeous 😍
Love the store! It’s making me want to shop!! I can’t stand it that I’m not there!
Fun tour! Thank you so much for taking us along. That 21 was beautiful! Congratulations on your new dolls!
Very cool I’m really into vintage
Omg aahhhhhh lounge kitties the AA LK goes for a ton! I got my Barbie LK for 35 with s&h on mecari during the summer
I love the auburn hair on the AG doll
Omg the american girl you got looks a little bit like you when you had bangs
What an amazing store
I had picture pockets barbie as a kid and I ruined so many family photographs by cutting them up to put in her outfit 😂
WHAT A COOL STORE omg
every time i go to an antique mall i dream of there being a room like this full of dolls 💝
Fabulous video. The store has so cool tiny stuff.its looking so adorable in video. The store must be looking so fabulous to see live with all the cute stuff. Beautiful video. 😊
THERE WAS A NUMBER THREE BARBIE IN THE BACK OF THAT BARBIE DISPLAY CASE
Arabian Nights was from a set of outfits that was made for Barbie based on fairy tales. There was also a Little Red Riding Hood, a Cinderella, and maybe a fourth one, maybe not? My reference books are in storage. The weird plush dog was from a pajama set. These were all mid-sixties Barbie fashions. This store is a goldmine and deserves to be treasured: there are so few actual brick and mortar doll stores left. They’re unlikely to last without people like you caring. 😢
The Austin store closed, closest store like that is in Houston, the doll hospital in old town spring. Used to go there regularly when I was living in Houston and I never got to see the Austin one as it’s been closed for at least 10 years.
I miss doll shops there used to be so many more in the 90s. Internet pretty much has shut most of them down now.
That redhead doll looks like Blaire. There was a few Blaire accessories. I only know because I really want her. Just wanting for meds.
I'm glad you got the doll. I think you would have regretted leaving her in the store.
I got so excited seeing that AG mini room couch set!!! (I have mine still but it might be missing some things rip) My sister and I each got 2 full room sets and 1 rooftop set for Christmas presents and we’re still obsessed with them to this day! It breaks my heart how much they resell for, even individual items that are minuscule are priced crazy. I would absolutely love to have more of them😩
What a great find! 🙂 I collect 1:12 miniatures, they are my favorite along with SSC and very old antique dolls like jumeaus or french bebes. As for Madame Alexander, I'm not into the small dolls at all, only the larger ones. Which includes the vintage 18 inch Alexander dolls which were designed for the original My Life As dolls, back in the early days. Those original MLA dolls have very beautiful face sculpts. But I loved seeing the Alexander section in the store and very curious about what great finds must be in there! I only have 1 AG doll and if I ever get another I'd like it to be Mia St. Clair. Your new AG is adorable. 🙂 I love all the little cabinets and 18 inch scale furniture and the tiny miniatures. What treasures.
Tons of 60s Barbie clothes
Siiigh that American girl doll is STUNNING. all the historical items just being there in real life made me want to cryyyy. I’ve been shot with the dart that makes you interested in American girl dolls but I live in England, it’s a nightmare. Watched this video while restitching the loose buttons on my lonely Kirsten’s knit woollens. She’s my one American girl doll that I splurged on eBay for and I adore her soooo much
Did you see the Barbie American girl preorder?
WOW, THIS IS SO COOL!
I'd lose my money and my mind at that store!!!
