miniatures

I’ve always had a bit of a thing for miniatures and doll houses. One of my crafty aims in life is to construct a beautiful multi storey dollhouse and hand make every last thing that goes in it! Considering I have 3 young girls I may have to wait until they leave home, or perhaps I could do a smaller scale “play” house as practice!

A lovely memory from my childhood is my Dad finding an old dollhouse that had belonged to one of his sisters in an old unused shed on the farm. He cleaned and painted it for me and I thought it was the most wonderful thing on earth – 2 storey and the front of the house opened and closed with a little latch. When we left the farm almost everything got sold and I think my dollhouse was among the things that went.

A little search on Etsy lead me to these wonderful discoveries:
