About Us!

Our “Why”

Founded in 2026 by Katie Cagle, Paper Dolls needlepoint began as a heartfelt return to creativity after entering motherhood. Inspired by her grandmother, Katie transformed those special memories into a brand rooted in intention, community, and meaningful design.

Our Mission

Our mission at Paper Dolls is to create a welcoming, inspiring space where everyone feels at home, regardless of skill level. Through thoughtfully curated canvases, threads, and accessories, we aim to spark creativity, build community, and support local artists and designers.

Brand Values

Paper Dolls is built on intentionality, community, and creativity, supporting local artists, designers, and the Auburn community.

Future Vision

As Paper Dolls continues to grow, Katie envisions expanding into a larger space that reflects the brand's signature warmth, drawing inspiration from a timeless, Nancy Meyers-inspired aesthetic that feels both inviting and thoughtfully curated. She plans to host trunk shows highlighting a range of talented artists, along with community-centered events such as sip & stitch gatherings and beginner-friendly classes, further fostering connection and creativity.
