In Another World

I thought it was time to take another peek inside the dollhouse to see what kinds of things the dolls have been up to.  It looks like the Mistress of the Manor has returned from her shopping trip to Paris and has brought home a sweet little hat.  This is my Club Little House submission this time around and I'm really pleased with everything now that it's done.  However, I'm still waiting on two hat stands to arrive by post, but the rest is all packed and ready to go, so I shouldn't be holding up the show long, as I feared might happen.  The pink valise was made by Amy herself, it's so cute and has travel labels on it, and even a little button & loop closure.  Just right for those weekend get-aways.  The yo-yo quilt works on the bed and as a little rug.  It was made by Debra, along with the bed pillows, complete with crochet lace and a sweet lavender bouquet.  I hope I have that right.  Once I took the tags off  and started "playing" with all the things that came out of that wonderful box it was hard to remember, but I think that was from her too.  I love how it ties in with the theme I've got going in here.   That tiny embroidered pillow was a commissioned piece from Rosanna over in Italy.   I've never seen anything so small and charming as this, all done so perfectly.  The pink bear was also another piece she sent and just look how cute it is in the nursery.  The children are having a party today.  Jenny made the teensy flag banner and it couldn't be more festive.  I love it.  The dollhouse children got so excited when they saw it they ran around the room in wild abandon.  They were finally sent outside to play by Nanny Nellie, who has her hands quite full at the moment and didn't care for the noise.  She hasn't noticed that little Bettie has snuck back inside to play with her new teddy.  And where is the Mistress of the Manor anway?  I thought she was busy working in her studio, but apparently she stepped out to visit a sick friend.  It appears she's made something to cheer her back to health.  Wonder what it could be?  Her well-stocked craft cabinet is certainly full of interesting bits and bobs, compliments of Cerri.  Chest of sewing lovlies made by Glenn and Victoria, post-mod table from Emma.  More Club Little House swap pictures here.   I can't wait to see what comes next!

You make me want to set up a house myself! And then what would my hubby say? "Another hobby!?" lol

[Amy]

Ooooh! This makes me want a doll house!

[Gina]

Oh Vicki, I love how you have everything set up! So much fun. I was able to join in on the fun this time around and I can't wait till the package arrives. I'm so tempted to show what I made like everyone else. It's just so exciting. I think I'm enjoying my doll house now more than when I was a kid or my daughter does...LOL

Amazing cuteness! Everything looks wonderful, you have it all arranged to perfection. I am mortified to admit that the inside of mine has made no progress whatsoever. Been too too busy! Need time!

Your hat boxes and hats are so cute! All this dollhouse stuff is just killing me! But no, I.must.resist.buying.a.dollhouse. I.must.

I love the Club Little House items that everyone is sharing. Y'all must be having so very much fun and I'm glad for you. It has inspired me to think about things I can make for my own dollhouse. Thank you for sharing your wonderful items.

So sweet! I want to move in.

Oh don't do this to me. You are allready partly responsible for getting this whole family in a playhouseproject and now you are feeding my budding dollhouseobsession!

Sometimes, a person just HAS to say these things out loud/on line: jeeze louise. I had no idea that furnishing in miniature required a fortune. I like those moments, when all my assumptions (which, naturally, had less than an iota of thinking behind them) get shaken and now I'm just glad to know. :)

my goodness! hmmm, maybe 2's not too young for a dollhouse after all. :)

the hatboxes are so sweet.

I love looking at the sweet perfection that is your dollhouse! The hatboxes and stands are so cute, I'm sure everyone will love them :)

I just love your Club Little House posts - I get my "fix" of miniatures, living vicariously through your blog - teehee). Everything is so perfectly sweet; especially that little feminine bedroom suite - just adorable!
