Two Final Purchases for Dad's Dollhouse

I recently made two final purchases for Dad's Dollhouse. With these two items, Dad's Dollhouse is complete. It was just over a year ago that I rediscovered my love for dollhouse miniatures and started working to renovate and complete my childhood dollhouse. Finishing Dad's Dollhouse after a thirty-year break was a blast! I'll write a post with photos of the completed house very soon.

For now, these are the last two items I needed to complete my project. I bought both from Caterina's shop Le Minis di Cockerina. First, I'd had my eye on this beauty for a while:


It's a readable 1:12 scale miniature version of the 1896 edition of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I love Little Women and love thinking of the lady of my dollhouse reading it. This copy is so beautifully done and looks so nice on the master bedroom nightstand. The second item I bought was another miniature memory box, this time a man's memory box for the study:


Caterina thought of all of the things you might find in a man's memory box. First, the items are in a Victorian men's shoe box. Then inside, there's a photo of a beloved dog, a picture of a mother holding a baby, several erotic Victorian photos, and some travel postcards. There's also a tiny seashell, presumably from a trip to the beach, and a beautiful cigar.

These were just the items I needed to complete each of my little scenes. I look forward to showing you the finished project in a series of photos. It has truly been a labor of love. Until then, keep having fun! xoxo Jennifer

Vintage Cookbook for Mid-Century Modern House

I recently bought this vintage-style Betty Crocker cookbook for my mid-century dollhouse. Isn't it cute? I love vintage! Caterina of Le Minis di Cockerina blog made it. I bought it in her Etsy shop.




In other news, I've received three more blog awards from sweet bloggers.


Carmen of MA PETIT MAISON blog, Maria of diary of a miniaturist blog, and Cote of Las cosas de Cote blog all gave me the "A Hug for Your Comments" Award. It's easy to leave nice comments when people have such nice blogs! If you haven't visited these blogs, you're definitely missing something fun! Thank you, Carmen, Maria, and Cote.

I pass this blog award on to all of Plushpussycat's regular commenters. Thank you for your kind words--they really mean a lot! Here's to more fun! xoxo Jennifer
