This year my favorite present is books about dollhouses from Shale. The Diane Villner one about dollhouse advertising is especially useful and I found the manufacturer of my mystery chairs in the CH house.
Well my little assistant is really interested in the Christmas Book, "Big Susan" by Elizabeth Orton Jones. It was first printed in 1947 and has illustrations of dollhouse items from that era. I learned about it a year ago from Redrickshaw. WE read it numerous times last year but NEVER once all the way through. It is about a Christmas miracle. So far we have read to page 13 four times.

Hmmmm. I thought I heard a rumor he was in Australia eating shrimp off a Barbie....
Well, Sans, I guess with HIS reputation rumors will fly... : ) C
Glad you liked the snowy pics on my other blog. Happy Christmas! It is almost here! Lizzie x
They are gorgeous! We just get rain. C
I love the photo of the doll taking a dive into the toilet, so funny :-)
Happy Holidays Carol, so nice to have spent time with you and your little assistant this year. I've been sick a week (again) so now I must use the last days before Christmas to prepare my fullsize house for the occasion!
Oh yeah, old what's his name. Daphne is insisting that I leave a comment and tell him "Hi" from her.
Enough, Daphne, I am doing it right now.

Pubdoll, it copies an illustration form the book. The book is at my little assistants house I will try to get a picture of it. It is chsrming bevcause it is a christmas story. Well, it is if you get past page 13. C
Uh Shale, is someone going to Machu Piccu with Daphnne? Has she met many latin men???? C
Daphne thinks she is a seasoned international traveler because she has been to DC and California. I'm afraid Peru might be a shock for her. I will keep an eye on her since Colette isn't around to explain things to her.

As you can imagine, I am a little sensitive about the term "Big Susan." I cringe every time I see it on your post. lol
