I thought it would be appropriate to post some pictures of my first dollhouse that my father and mother gave me in the late 70's. I believe I was in 5th or 6th grade and had been begging for one for years. It was electrified and at the time our local toy store had a lot of miniatures that I filled it with. I also remember making a trip to a miniature show in San Francisco and buying some small accessories. I loved it!
When I was in high school the dollhouse was just brought out at Christmastime to be place under the tree complete with snow and a small pond. Then it went into my Dad's attic until about 5 years ago. My dad was cleaning out his storage and at the time I had one year old twins and was planning a long distance move so I sold it. Of course, now I regret it. I wish I'd taken pictures of the inside (and better pictures of the outside!)
I'm off to Phoenix, Arizona for my Father's burial. I'll have a little free time so I'm hoping to visit the Thorne Rooms that are at the Phoenix Art Museum. I'll be back next week ready to get back to miniatures.
