In the spring of 1998, elementary school teacher Lisa Silver, decided to change careers. Realizing a need in the Houston, Texas marketplace for a baby-furniture/gift shop that could provide the finest merchandise, including imported cribs, chests and changers, as well as custom bedding from America's best designers, and cute monogrammed gifts, all at affordable prices, Lisa approached her mother, Irene Pearlman. Mom agreed and they founded Doodles together. The rest is history.

Although our headquarters are in Houston, Texas, Doodles is truly a national operation, shipping cute gifts and more, to every corner of the country.

"We have a following that is very faithful," says Lisa. "We've now been in business long enough that we're even providing merchandise to families who are expecting their second child!"
