TINY PERFECT HOUSES!

I have been thinking of making a dollhouse.  It is funny how we want to do this as adults.  Perhaps it is our love of decorating or making things just right for our homes.  Why not make a perfectly delightful little house be your dream home, it is a little cheaper........or is it.

You can create your own dollhouse from scratch or from a kit.  There are so many out there it is hard to choose.  These are beautiful simple ones.  I like the last one, very much my taste.

They can get quite grand and quite pricey.  These are very over the top.  I really like the last one it is a Beacon Hill style.

 Oh, and then there are the antique dollhouses like the first one here.  How wonderful it must be to find one in such pristine condition.   The others are reproductions of antique dollhouses and I just love them.  I think I will choose to make something like the last one, so haunting yet beautiful.

Then you get to the best part, the inside.  You can get very carried away with the furnishings.  I cannot believe the last bed is for a dollhouse, how wonderful.

 So, when I get a little more time a dollhouse will be a project I will enjoy making.  Very gothic, I think, something just for me like a beautiful antique.  I look forward to checking out some plans and maybe modifying a kit if I can find one I like.   I know they are addictive but I will only build the one so it will have to be perfect.  But, like my own home I am sure it will evolve over time.

CATCHING UP AFTER EASTER!

Happy Wednesday everyone.  It is still freezing here, where the heck is Spring?  I have not seen anything green in the garden.  I think I will start my tomato seeds today, maybe that will bring on Spring.

I am doing some catch up today.  Here are some pictures from Easter, got a little busy and did not have time to put them on the other day.

I have some pretty Easter flowers from Josmar Acres, at least it is Springy inside.  I did not put out all of my Easter decorations this year, it came so early I just did not get to it.  Here are my paper mache bunnies and chickens.  Love these and the best buy.  I picked them up a couple of years ago at HomeSense reduced to $1.00.  They had so many of them and no one seemed to like them, I have a dozen or so.

I collect vintage style tin signs, these are two.  I love the distinguished Mr. Rabbit, I am leaving him on the cupboard for a while.  I found these adorable Chocolate mummie bunnies and baby bunnies at Winners, they are made in Germany and I am sure my son and daughter-in-law enjoyed them.

We did not do a big Easter dinner, I had bits and pieces instead.  I made the Pillsbury Crescent Roll shaped carrots filled with egg salad.  They turned out great, were easy and tasted delicious.  This would be fabulous for a baby shower too.

Of course our little Easter Bunny was there.  She had more fun picking up the plastic Easter Eggs than caring about what was inside.  I think she is so cute with that tail I would like to get a bunch of different colours and put them on her all the time.  I won't though that could be embarrassing if she wanted to wear them when she went to school one day.

All in all it was a lovely Easter even if it was not sunny, the Easter Bunny wore mittens but he got the job done.

I put some new Bohemian/Hippie bracelets in my Etsy Shop WICKED FAERIE QUEEN.  I love making these, what do you think?

 Just one last thing today.  If you want to see some lovely Spring pictures drop by Helena's blog, MY SWENGLISH HOME.  Helena is a amazing photographer from Sweden who lives in the English Countryside.  I am so envious of the weather there now.  The photos are breathtaking, it is truly Spring there.  You must have a look.

DAYDREAMS ON A VERY COLD MONDAY!
