Dolls Houses Past & Present

About Me

This pic is me with my dad.I have been making dolls houses for 10 yrs.I always wanted a really old one but could never afford the ones I liked.Then I looked at kits and didn't like them either,so I designed and made my own.Since then I have made about 30,mostly for family and friends.I have 4 of my own - no room for any more.I have made quite a few bits of furniture etc and customised lots more.Now I have found the internet I have bought a few vintage pieces,some of my houses are inspired by antique ones and the vintage pieces go very well!

I am at present working on an old dolls house for a friend that I found in a car boot sale for £4.It was missing its front,so I am making one.

Hi Joan,
I haven't put any more pictures up lately as I have a problem launching them up but hopefully I will try and put a few more up soon, especially of the interiors. Your house are lovely and all so beautifully furnished.
Best wishes, Eleanor.

hi joan, welcome, you will love this site. there are so many brains to pick and collections to look at, but be warned it does feed the addiction. i too love old dolls houses but we live in australia and there aren't too many to be had. love to see yours. cheers christine
