A charming corner where dolls, fashion, and nostalgia come together...

Visit Shop 83, where antique and vintage doll collecting meets retro fashion and cozy nostalgia. This Tacoma shop feels like stepping into a well-loved attic full of personality, with vintage dolls of every kind greeting you from the shelves. You'll find cloth Raggedy Ann dolls with yarn hair, porcelain-faced beauties in lace dresses, stuffed bears in costume (including an adorable teddy in a police uniform), and carved wooden figurines. Doll collectors searching for antique and vintage doll collecting finds in Tacoma will love the variety here, from character dolls and baby dolls to folk art cloth figures and international dolls in traditional dress.

The vintage clothing and accessories are just as fun to browse. A dress form displays a striking black and cream sailor-style blouse paired with a whimsical Valentine's print skirt, while racks nearby hold floral print dresses, denim jackets with patches, and layered bohemian pieces. Hats hang from every available hook, from turquoise crocheted cowboy hats and straw boaters to black felt fedoras and sunflower-print bucket styles. Strands of costume jewelry, pearl necklaces, and beaded necklaces in red, gold, and amber dangle alongside the clothing. A satin drawstring evening bag and a pink faux fur stole add a touch of vintage glamour.

The charm continues with vintage children's books like "Stories for Little Men" and "Story Land," a cat-themed tapestry armchair, whimsical coffee mugs, and a See's Candies delivery truck collectible. A blue rose tea set sits on a carved French provincial side table, and framed watercolor prints and vintage photographs lean against the walls. Plush animals, a painted lampshade featuring roosters, and a "Good Food, Good Friends, Good Times" sign capture the warm, friendly spirit of Shop 83 perfectly.
