It was time to replace the doll house I made. This time, instead of me making it, I had someone else do it. It was spendy, but well worth it. This dollhouse may last until I have grandchildren. Or even great grandchildren. It is very sturdy, solid wood, and absolutely lovely!
Santa brought her a new garden set to go with it:
The Christmas tree in this picture was a last minute holiday craft. Like I was frantically adding button ornaments at 6am yesterday morning. lol...
These were finished beforehand:
These were not brand new beds... but they had broken a year or more ago, and so with the help of some wood glue and some sandpaper, she got a 'new' set of beds. Complete with new wool blankets and pillows for winter. (Yet another great use for felted sweaters. :) )
Cyan's kitten loved it too. No wonder my tree doesn't have any ornaments on the bottom two feet. Right this second my house just screams "I have a toddler and two kittens!"

Opulently I agree but I dream the brief should secure more info then it has.
That house is gorgeous! You have a lucky girl (and kitten).

We also homeschool: ScoilDai.Blogspot.com so do feel welcome to visit , and we`d love you as our follower for both blogs if you `d like? Hope you had a lovley Christmas :0)
Thanks guys! I LOVE it. Every time I walk past it I have to check and see if the inhabitants are doing anything new... via cat, or kiddo. ;)
The doll house was bought at a store, but it was made by a man in Seattle. There are no markings on it, nor did it have tags. If you are really interested, you can call the local place I got it at. It is called Clover, in Ballard Seattle, WA.
However..... I have seen ones kinda like it at Nova Naturals... and they are just as spendy, but made like this.
Merry day after Christmas everyone!!
Blessings,
