The beginning of a great friendship.
Amanda and Samantha at one
of their favorite hospitals.
A Victorian birthday party
(the dolls are sitting at another table)
Many people have asked...so let me simply state that Amanda has a disease that limits her health and strength. Her father decided early on that this life was too challenging...but don't loose heart this "fairy-god mother" has a wish to grant at the end of the photos!
Growing up with
Amanda and Samantha
A school play with a special cousin--
Samantha was in the audience!
A vacation that they will remember
for a very long time!
A lucky mom to have an
incredible daughter...
What is Easter without
matching bonnets!
Samantha & Amanda supporting
a worthy cause.
A team from the start!
Where ever we go, the waves seem to call us.
On one of our famous GGA's
Girl's get aways!
Here's the happy ending I promised you.
The Fairy God Mother granted Amanda her wish to know the love of a truly great Dad...
and she did!
Meet her special dad & my husband,
John Trodden
I dedicate this site my husband and daughter who have given me love, support and encouragement to grow as a woman!
Love
Sandie

Where can you find me?
My home-based boutique is located in Orchard Park, NY which is slightly south of Buffalo. This township has always supported their local merchants. It is largely due to this support that my concept of a "small-town days-gone-by" boutique for doll lovers has thrived. It is to these very first Orchard Park customers that I owe my success. This clientele of mainly mothers, grandmothers and young girls has spread the word of my product and where to find me. These people exemplify the community's slogan "Town of good friends".
If you would like to visit my home-based boutique, please call ahead. Come enjoy a cup of cocoa and cookies while you shop. I hope the atmosphere that my 1830's cottage home offers will enhance your doll shopping experience! My phone number is 716-662-4848.
I am located at 4715 Duerr Road in Orchard Park, NY 14127.
I attend many craft shows in WNY, Rochester, NY and the Erie, PA area. Click here to see a full list of these events.
Dresses--Lady-like looks for all occasions

Craft show schedule
Since so many of the young girls that attended our Girl Scout group visit have asked if we would do birthday parties, we now offer several different programs that are created to help celebrate your birthday in a unique and memorable way!
Our birthday gatherings are designed for parents wish to celebrate their daughter's birthday without the unending "To Do List" that usually accompanies a party.
All that you need to do is to forward the provided email invitation which includes an RSVP request and then notify us with the girls' names and how many women will be attending (minimum of nine girls please). That is it! There is no need for a cake or decorations as we provide treats and an old-fashioned decor. The $22 shopping trip is the party favor and the well-organized program assures that everyone has a relaxing, fun time!
Please feel free to call for more details!
Depending on the time of year, old-fashioned hot chocolate or mildly spiced apple punch is served as the beverage.
Step back in time to an 1830's cottage industry home where you will find original designs to fit your favorite 18" doll or 15" baby doll. Historical dresses, modern trends, fancy hats, colorful shoes and much more are displayed in our boutique. If a guest does not own such a doll, any other doll or stuffed animal would be more than welcomed as we have sleeping bags and other items that work nicely for them. We also encourage the girls to bring their moms as the love of dolls should never be outgrown!
Group Visits and Birthday Parties
Come enjoy an afternoon or evening at the American Doll Boutique in Orchard Park!
Sandie, a fourth-generation seamstress and the owner of the boutique, will give a short talk on one of a variety of topics relating to girls' fashions through the ages, how sewing has changed over the years and etiquette.
"Mandie's Hair Salon" is a boutique favorite where doll hair fashions are demonstrated. If desired, each doll brought will have their hair styled. Even baby dolls and teddy bears are prettied up with ribbons!
(one doll per girl please)
Everyone gets to practice her etiquette lesson while enjoying heritage-related treats served on china ~ moms are offered these goodies as well.
We do not charge for this two hour program, treats and hairstyling. We would rather have the girls be able to shop in the boutique so that they can leave with something special for their dolls' wardrobe. We request that there be a minimum of nine girls and that each girl have a $22 spending allowance to be spent in the American Doll Boutique.
At the end of each program, we offer to take a group photo so that everyone can remember the fun time they had when they stepped back in time and enjoyed some old-fashioned lady-like fun!
Visiting dates for the Brownie and Girl Scout troops fill up quickly, so please call soon to reserve your time!
We will look forward to seeing you soon!
