Hello and Welcome to my first Dollshouse project - a Victorian Terrace set in the 1940's..







Saturday 24 September 2011

I found this old dollshouse cooker on a market stall and it inspired me to get started...I'll most probably be making a lot of it up as I go along but have lots of inspiration and any tips along the way would be great!

  1. Good luck with your project Rachel- I'm sure you will have loads of fun with it. If KT Miniatures can help you in anyway - don't hesitate to contact me. Be warned....once you embark on this hobby it becomes completely obsessive!!! Celia

  2. Thankyou so much Celia, although I'm only just starting I think I'm already obsessed!! I've been collecting a few bits over the last year, now I need to start to put it all together. I love the 30's/40's eras and drool over your website, i'll be definitely in touch.

  3. What a fun project. The cooker is wonderful. No wonder it inspired you to start on this project. There is a book called Thirties and Forties Miniatures in 1:12 Scale by Jane Harrop. It might have some good patterns in it.

  4. Thankyou Susan. I have Jane Harrop's book, I love it and have bought almost half her kits!! Have just made the standard lamp this evening!;) I'm not sure I'll be totally accurate but as long as it gives the right feel of the era I'll be happy

  5. It is a great book, but I have yet to make anything in it. Maybe this winter.

  6. That cooker is a great start to your obsession. You didn't buy it from me did you? I sold one like it a year or so ago! Lizzie

  7. Hi Lizzie, that would be funny, I think I found it a year or two ago on a market stall in York?

  8. Just catching up with your lovely blog (a long overdue visit!) I sold the cooker at either Shepton mallet or Ardingly Antiques fair.. or was it Newark? Anyway, not York. The house is coming on beautifully. Lizzie
