Revisiting...

I've been living out one of my childhood fantasies.

A few days ago while I was thrift store hunting with my nieces we

found a beautiful, wood dollhouse for $30!

Since Stephanie's birthday is coming up I told her I would get

it for her and if you could bottle the joy in her eyes

and sell it, I'd be a millionaire today!

It came with all kinds of wood furniture so we have been busy

fixing the place up.

Making tiny cushions for the living room...

 Tiny mattresses, quilts and pillows for the bed and tiny

wool rugs from an old scarf for the floors...

We've been inspired by a book a friend lent me about

Tasha Tudors dollhouse (see what you've done Liz?!)

Sewing tiny curtains...

...complete with tiny curtain rods...

 You can really get carried away with this whole business!

 Now when we go to the thrift stores and dollar stores we

keep our eyes out for something special.

We found these tiny jars for the kitchen and filled them with dry goods

 These tiny frames from the thrift store make great tiny masterpieces

with cut out pictures from magazines...

 Pretty tiny laundry baskets...

 And in between Griff gets a little love...

 That's one happy girl!
