Coastal Cuddles Nursery

since 2025

Kristen Brown| South Carolina, United States

Hi, I’m Kristen—the heart behind Coastal Cuddles Nursery. My love for dolls began at six years old with my very first Baby Born doll and grew even stronger at ten when I received an American Girl doll. Those early memories stayed with me and laid the foundation for a lifelong love of dolls and creative expression. In February 2024, I discovered the world of Reborn dolls, and it felt like everything clicked. What started as curiosity quickly became a true passion. Today, I am both an avid collector and a beginner reborn artist, learning, growing, and truly enjoying the process of creating with intention and heart. I specialize in hand-painted reborn dolls using professional heat-set paints and mediums on vinyl kits, as well as silicone paints and mediums for silicone art dolls in various ethnic tones. Coastal Cuddles Nursery is a safe space where artistry, nostalgia, and connection come together. I’m excited not only to continue growing my own personal collection, but also to create Reborn dolls for fellow collectors, helping others build collections that feel just as meaningful and special to them as mine does to me. If you’re a collector, creator, or simply someone who loves the artistry behind Reborns, I’m so glad you’re here. Thank you for being part of this journey—there’s so much more to come.
