A new dollhouse

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:

I made her some new stuff as well.

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!"

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,

Val

Thanks Kimara! Do you have a following page on Facebook? Would you give me the link here? I'll have to look that up. Your stuff is wonderful! I aspire to be as good at patterns as you are eventually.

Have a beautiful evening.

Blessings,

Val
