Ladies and Gentlemen,
Boys and Girls, Barbie Fans of all ages, we'd like to welcome you to
Sandi Holder's Doll Attic! Come one, come all, big and small, short
and tall, to our little corner of the Barbie Universe!
|
We are open to
the public Monday - Friday from 10AM to 5PM, weekends by
appointment only. Doll clubs & groups - please call ahead to
reserve a time and date.
We have been hard at work, putting the finishing touches and last little details into this one of
a kind Barbie display, which was recreated in life size form
from actual vintage Barbie structures. No where else
in the world will you be able to see such a display! Our new location is
twice as big as before,
and we've dedicated the extra space to display the best parts of
Sandi's
personal Barbie Doll collection for you to enjoy! We also have
a party room which is available to rent for birthday parties
and doll club meetings. If you are
planning a visit to Northern California (we are in the San
Francisco Bay Area), simply give us a call.
We are
open from Monday through Friday, 10AM to 5PM Pacific Time. If
you are planning a group visit, or cannot visit during
business hours, please let us know so other arrangements can
be made. For Party or Meeting information, please
be sure to email us for more details. Also, see the sections below for
more information! |

Museum
For years, at our
previous location, we had a small showroom where we displayed
all of the items we had for sale, along with a small cross
section of Sandi's personal Barbie collection. Many times,
customers would immediately gravitate toward the "display
only" shelf to take in these choice collectibles. Then, they'd
be disappointed to find out that they were "not for sale".
We struggled with
our options; do we take these great items out of the showroom
and not display them at all? Or, do we risk the disappointment
a collector feels when they see that Cher doll they've been
looking for everywhere on our display shelf, only to be
told that they can't buy it?
We are very
proud to announce that we no longer have to make that tough
decision. Everything in our showroom is for sale (except of
course the counter and the cashier standing behind it! :), so
there will be no more sore feelings! All display items are now
in our Museum. We've dedicated the
biggest section of our space just to show off these great
items of the past and present, some of Sandi's absolute
favorite items. There's even a Tammy section for you Ideal
fans out there!
We've tried to
represent every era of Barbie, from early Vintage Dolls and
Licensed Products (Sandi's true passion), on through
Mod, and all the way through to the Barbie Fashion Model
Collection Silkstone items. Many one of a kind and prototype items are on
display also. A sneak peak at some of the items
we have on display can be seen by clicking on the photos to
the left.
We like to
think of this "gathering of the guys and gals" as a way to share the best
of Barbie with you; a grand display that you can think of as
your collection away from home, one you can visit anytime.
Here at the Doll Attic, we appreciate collectors as more than
just customers: old friends with whom we can share the
love of our favorite plastic princess and her world.
Please join us
in celebrating the world of Barbie! You'll be so glad you did.
