Amazing antique 1890s dollhouse, with a twist...

Click here to go directly to this post on my friend Tracy's blog to see more on this very special antique dollhouse - she's got lots of detail about it's fascinating history which I won't duplicate here. It's SOOO charming!!!
This chest is my favourite piece in the house but there are lots and lots of wonderful old minis to see. And I just love this printed lining -
Tracy's previous post has wonderful pictures of a 1900s lithograph dollhouse that you must see too -
Tracy's blog (clicking on her name will take you to her latest post) has a fabulous array of weird, wonderful, whimsical, and sometimes downright wacky! ;) old toys (and other interesting stuff)!! Don't miss out on visiting her, it's a real treat.

Thanks Tracy for permission to publish your photos here.

Now back to my university assignment .......... (I hope to be done with it in about a week so see you all soon!)

    I agree; Tracy's blog is a wonderful place. I'm so glad she shares all of her treasures (and the trolls)with us.

    LOL Christine - it was indeed largely the trolls I had in mind for the "wacky" category ;) All good fun :)

    Thanks for share, Norma: all my love for dollhouses born in museums, where, as a child, I was with my nose stuck to the glass display cases where they were exposed to these ancient and unique masterpieces :-)
    Taking the opportunity to see more is always an enrichment...
