They are selling one of Barbra Streisand's Dollhouses. Want to split it???? It is only $26,000.00
They do layaway...

They sell beautiful antiques. I bought my antique sink I keep in the Christian Hacker house from them. I used it in my Christmas picture copying the nurse doll upside down in the sink from "Big Susan".

About the Spirit of Giving

There is someone who I have never met who has influenced my view of life and dollhouse collecting for the better. This post is in honor of her and to say Thank you! Do you know her? Here are some clues from a book she recommended.

Clue # 1



Sorry for these long spaces between
pictures, I'm not sure why they are here, they don't show up in the editing.









Antique German clock, my thimble, antique Gerlach iron, antique German plaster cake, contemporary copper pan and silver charger.


She recommended this book to me and I want to pass on to others. Many of you know it already. It was written in 1947. I ordered a current copy from Amazon.

Clue# 2











Clue # 3




Last clue Do you know who I am talking about?


and what book it is?
















Antique sink from Carmel Doll Shop


The answer comes tomorrow...

Bachelors for Dana

Taking a break from Christmas... I have a friend in Romania, who if I understood her wish list, it was for a 9cm groom for her doll.

Bachelors #1








Bachelors#2


Bachelors #3

If your bride sees any one suitable in ths crew, just let me know and I will send him to you.

Rather a diverse group... but I think brides should be VERY CAREFUL.... who would you pick?

Any guy can have a beard, it's just black marker.
Dana has posted her dolls at http://miniaturidecolectie.blogspot.com/
The man in the long blue jacket is VERY enamored to meet her and actually ran out of the room to race to the airport. He is taking a friend with him. He will need a buttoniere so you better call your florist. I hope she does not fall in love with his friend...but then who knows the way of the heart?

"Honestly, Colette!" her neighbor swore...

,

"I just told Mr. Blue-green, to get rid of it!"

Colette thought, this is ALL I need.

Then she remembered her gallery was shipping a delivery of old American furniture, modern light fixtures and Mexican textiles to Germany....

Homage to Sue's mini homes blog.

Because the miniaturist blog world is a small one after all... xoxo My Realitty

Here's how she did it

An old earring, a marker tip and a pen nib. Voila! a Delonghi style kettle.
Which brings us to the topic of tools. I asked pinchofpepper
what she recommends from her tool box. She said "I think the most important piece of equipment you can have for making miniatures is a dremmel. They are a godsend for drilling, sanding, and polishing. You generally get a good selection of bits with them when you buy a set."
