Kristin Baybars

"Upon arrival you may think Kristen’s shop is closed as the window grates never come down, but look out for the light on and knock on the door. Once invited in, you’ll step back in time and discover the most magical Aladdin’s Cave of doll’s house furniture, toys, board games, marbles, collectables, kites, miniatures and automata. Though be aware, it’s cash only. Kristin is an incredibly friendly soul if you’re considerate of her collection and has some really fascinating stories to tell. Just make sure you close the door quietly!" - Chrissie Macdonald & Andrew Rae

"This store actually has no sign, so you have to look hard. Kristin Baybars, who has run the shop for decades, stocks everything you could ever want for a dollhouse. The front of the store has traditional kids toys and imported dollhouse accessories, but as you venture farther back, you'll find handmade British pieces on display inside kooky old cabinets and quintessentially English townhouses. You'll either leave with a bunch of miniatures or grand plans for a dollhouse of your own, just remember to bring cash as they don't accept cards. Photo: The Small Desk"
