Will they gat a look in Frances. my 6 year old g. grand daughter is very careful and can reset the dining table without disturbing anything else, the grand children and even grandson age 9 and nephews around the same age love it and no they are boys who play football and do kung fu etc, not a bit efeminate, just fascinated I think.

Lol, May

Probably not - but hey, I can say I am in my second childhood!

Christina if you have original 50's furniture you will be surprised at the prices it will fetch. There are collectors out there looking for that ! Val

Oooh Val, now you have got me thinking - my mum still has the dolls house with all our 50's/60's furniture in it - will have to talk to her about it!

Hi Sue, I have all Christmas trimmings, lighted tree, wreaths ,cards bells, Christmas food and pudding and cake wine in bottles even got three whiskey minis when te called at Gretna Green last year on way to Scottish holiday.

Hi frances I sold a 50's ascot water heater triang one for £36 on ebay

Frances, as Valerie says worth mega bucks at fairs and on the net.

hi May it seems we are not the only ones then lol
I also decorate my houses for christmas. Definately in my second childhood !! I have just finished a 40's roombox complete with gas mask holder and built everything in it

Where do you keep them--mu hubby has been doing one and has come to a stand still---no amount of nagging seems to get him going with it--i'm dying to furnish and decorate it

Threaten him with no food Lol It works with mine...............

Valerie, an air raid shelter scene was it? My late Mum said I was in my secong chilhood years ago but then they never tought to have toys that the upper classes had did they?

May , no it was a 40's kitchen with a larder and war rations, the old type sink with draing board. The old armchair by the fire and her knitting just as she left it all. I put a little calender and marked the date of my birthday on it so was set in 1943

Lovely Valerie, it really gets the imagination going this dolls house business doesn't it.

I want to do an Art deco one as well. I fancy doing it all in black and white. I love the geometric shapes

I love Clarice Cliff but unfortunately don't have any have seen some d.h. size also expensive but I've not bought anything for ages so maybe at the next fair I go to although the next one at Pudsey is the same day as the Wales meet, I think and thats where I saw them in November.

I think we have bored everyone else to death LOL...........................

Think we have , we will have to talk again soon what interests one doesn't interest another and its surprising how many people, men and women don't have a hobby but Ithink it keeps the mind occupied and keeps one young at heart if not in body. By the way will you be going to the Wales meet? I'm closing down now, I've had supper so I'll say Good Night God Bless... May.

I might get to the Swansea one if It happens but the other is Cwmbran I think, don't know about that. Would like to go but hubby waiting for an op and don't know when it will be so can't make too many future plans at moment.

Nite nite May and maybe we will meet and can carry on the discussion . God Bless Val

There is someone else on these boards who has one, is it Maggie from Winchester?
I had a small one, Dad got it secondhand and did it up and put a light in it for me, I loved it but it disappeared, it went to a younger relative. We are in touch by email and she mentioned recently what happened to the doll's house? Don't know why she thinks I should know? Wasn't very happy about it being passed on, a lovely handmade, 1920s dolls bed went too, with original bedlinen etc
My Mum got rid of lots of my dolls and things, I had no say, she cleared them out when I was living in Cambridge.
Have always wanted another doll's house, maybe if I get a granddaughter one day I will have an excuse lol

Don't wait for grand daughter Liz, do it for yourself.
