18th April 2018: Welcome to Hidden House Collectables


A very warm welcome to Hidden House Collectables. I am so pleased to be able to throw open the virtual doors again and share my wonderful collection with you all. 2018 marks the start of a new chapter for Hidden House, I have relocated to the South West of England, in the heart of the beautiful Devonshire countryside. Its a wonderful part of the country with beautiful scenery, perfect for photographing the dolls and bears!  I hope that the website continues to inspire you and helps provide a useful resource for collectors. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my collection or would like to comment about the website. 


From time to time I will be adding items for sale on the news page so please keep checking in for more information.


28th September 2018: Dolls for sale!


Hello everyone, Its been a while since my last Hidden House news, so I thought its about time I share an update with you. I've been very busy the past few months organising my collection for display which has meant sorting through countless boxes of dolls, bears, doll clothing and accessories.......I can't really complain as its been a joy to see them all again following the house move!


After reviewing the collection and finding that I have very little room left to display all of  the dolls and bears, I have made the heart wrenching decision to part with some of them. I'm in the process of compiling a list of dolls and bears for sale and over the next few weeks I will add details of each item available, here on the Hidden House news page.


If in the meantime you are looking for a specific doll from the Roche doll or Tonner doll collection please contact me......you never know I might have it for sale!


Many thanks for stopping by at Hidden House, Hope you all have a lovely weekend xx
