Amishway Homesteaders Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 As IF we don't have enough going on this week, Now tonight they want our Display in early. Was to be set up in Display cases for month of Aug. But Library called and want it TONIGHT! So I spent the day packing things up so we can get them there without breakage! Thank Goodness 'most' is held fast with 'tacky wax for Dollhouses'. Still takes 6 big boxes/totes to get them there. LOL PS still no rain- but the weather is cooler! Link to comment

Reb Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Oh how neat! Takes me back to my childhood. VERY GOOD JOB Amishway Homesteader. Do you make the old furniture and people? I love collecting little things. When my daughter was younger, my Dad made her a replica of one of the rowhouses of Baltimore and we had a blast filling it. From the carpet to the curtains etc. It we couldn't find it, we made it. It was a very good bonding time for both of us. I still have it packed carefully away. Learned a hard lesson about letting other little ones play with it so I'm keeping it for my daughter when she has children. I could look at your display all day just picking up little details. I wish they were bigger pictures. Wonderful job, thanks. Reb Link to comment
Jeepers Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 That is fantastic! You must had had a blast putting it all together. No wonder the library wanted it for their display. Link to comment
themartianchick Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Those are beautiful, Michael & Lori! You must be very proud of your collection. How long has Lori been collecting? How long have you been helping her to furnish them? How long before they take over your train space, Michael? Link to comment
Gunplumber Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Nice job! I've always loved dollhouses. I was about 7 when I rewired my sister's dollhouse to make the lights actually work. When I built my own, they were usually colonial forts or castles, but I had a whole city built with an esoteric mix of (not to scale) legos, lincoln logs, electric trains plastic models, any other miniatures I could cram in.
