My Dollhouse!


Did you find a dollhouse under your Christmas tree when you were a little girl? BTW, that's not me in the photo! I don't know exactly when it was that I received mine, but I thought it was high time that I showed it to you!



I spent many an hour playing with this house.

And I took great pleasure in washing all of the furniture. I clearly remember a day when the mean girl next door asked me if I wanted to come over and play. To get out of it, I said "NO, I have to wash my furniture!".

She really was mean, but I got back at her one day by giving her bangs a really bad haircut. I was never asked back, and I was glad! Kids shouldn't be allowed to use scissors unsupervised, should they? Anyway, I enjoyed drying each piece of furniture too.


There's some very nice landscaping on the outside.

Very orderly tulips blooming in front of the fireplace wall.

C'mon inside! I'd love to show you around.

The living room. Wanna sit beside the fire? Perhaps read a book from the well-stocked library?

Here's the pink bathroom. I love the pattern on the floor, don't you?
I've heard of an open concept floor plan, but this room definitely needs a door!



Next we have the nursery room.

Aren't the graphics on the walls sweet?

The master bedroom. I wanted this room decorated in typical I Love Lucy fashion, and put twin beds in here!

I want a vanity like this one!

Even then, I wanted a red kitchen!

My copper-bottomed Revere Ware pots will never look that shiny.

The laundry room. If mine looked like this, I'd be more than happy to do laundry! Check out the wallpaper border up by the ceiling. Cute, huh?

There's even a sewing machine in there, and the only phone in the house!

The patio. Looks like it could be a great place for a wild party.

It's funny, but I don't remember playing with dolls in this house. Just endlessly rearranging the furniture. But when I opened the bag with all of the furniture in it, I found these wee little dolls.

And a couple of my long-lost Liddle Kiddles! See, I told you. A great place for a wild party!

Metal Picnic Basket Collection

These metal picnic baskets have become my latest obsession. I mean collection. But I won't be using them for a picnic. These are strictly for show. And storage. Because we live in an old house with no closets!

My current favorite is the one on the bottom with the cat playing a fiddle! Love that old sewing basket too. I've got a pink one coming in the mail any day now, that I won on Ebay!
The green one was my first basket. I got that cement poodle from an antique store.
This one is for holding old magazines.
This was my helper today. Mimi Lucy. We love to dress her up. She loves it too. When our daughter was little, she would push Mimi around in a stroller for hours.
Mimi wanted you to see her daisy collar. She loves it. Can you tell? She will hypnotize you with her bi-colored eyes.....
