Dolls house museum?

[davidsmum]

Hello ChristineB

That looks lovely - thanks for posting the pics. Your mum obviously had a good eye for detail. Haven't you considered keeping it as WM suggests?

oohh i couldnt let anyone else have it, the work that is in that house x

[ChristineB]

I would ...but I have no space and I am sure she would like some other people to see and appreciate it.

The detail is the most amazing thing!
She made everything and thought about the people who would have that extra look!

So there are hand made tiny spills to light the fire!

All the beds are made with bedding mattresses and even springs on the metal frame bedsteads! .......and all the figures are wearing 'knickers'!

Even the children's pull along toys have revolving wheels.

She really loved doing this and for a while sold her work In USA. Making the figures and the doll's houses was her real joy!

I will take some more pictures.. but it's got rather dark.

Hi Christine B i can see the work thats gone into it just by those few pictures you have shown us, and yes i agree it is museum quality, its beautiful, just a shame to let it go, thats just me though. Can understand what your saying though good luck hope it goes to some where, where lots of people will admire it for the future x
