The Doll House opens its doors once again

Since its opening, The Dollhouse (73 Main Street) has almost exclusively sold collectible and antique dolls on consignment; owner Sue Scott opened The Dollhouse in March of 2023 after moving to the area. Scott made a friend with someone while she was staying at the hotel Cathlamet whose mother had a vast collection of dolls. This collection inspired Scott and was the starting point for the shop, but if you were to visit the store now, you might be surprised at what else you would find.

Scott’s daughter passed away very suddenly in October, leaving behind an enormous collection of Cobalt blue and other antiques. After spending 17 days packing up her daughter’s belongings, Scott returned with over 100 boxes of antiques and collectibles, and everything will be up for sale. Excited about the change in merchandise, Scott said, “I’ve got purses, I’ve got jewelry… glassware, pictures, mirrors...miniature things, perfume bottles.”

The Dollhouse has been closed for a while now. Between two surgeries and her daughter’s passing, Scott hasn’t been up to running the shop. Not anymore, though, now that she’s recovered. She feels revived and is excited for everyone to know she is back in business. “I’m back, and I have more than just dolls,” she said. Located next door to Hotel Cathlamet, The Dollhouse is open Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.
