Ok- this kit goes to ebay on Thursday- so anyone want to take it off my hands for a low cost and actual shipping- please email me! Email addy is on my profile. The only things missing are the door hardware (4 gold balls with pins) and the brackets for under the eaves- I have 6 included and 11 of a different type (that was all I had left from 3 kits! People must lose those easily). I even bought a new set of instructions to go with it. All sheets, all trim, all siding pieces are all there. The window sheet is in really good shape too! Kathy

Help for buying windows and doors :(
Sydneystyle replied to Indian_Shadow_Moon's topic in General Mini Talk
I replaced the windows in a rehab of my Emerson Row that was missing windows. I used thin plexiglass sheets I got at Home Depot for about $1 each. I scored the window with a knife, then snapped the plexiglass- it worked perfectly. Then I sanded the edge of the plex to fit. To get the curve was a bit tricky- cut a rectangle around it first, snap out the window, then work on the curve with a small pliers to grasp the edge of the plex. I cut triangles first tangent to the curved edge to make it easier to snap off pieces without getting into the window curve. Then I used black trim-line tape (I found some at Hobby Lobby in the drafting area) 1/16" thick to make the mullions. I was time consuming but those windows sure looked great. Can't remember but I think i might have some pics on my gallery somewhere. Kathy -
One of our local stores did that last year also. They had a deal if you bought 50, they would give them to you for $1 each. Needless to say I have enough paint for a lifetime of dollhouses. Kathy

I have a complete, although part of it has been glued in a poor attempt to build (not by me!) kit for the Cambridge that needs to find a new home. I have put my email address in my profile so it should be easy to email me now. I also have trim pieces, and MANY extra sheets from the other kit I used to complete, so, if you are missing railings, stairs, punched trim, etc. email me and I can find it for you. I think I have a duplicate of all the sheets except the main floors (sheets 1,2,3,and 4) Kathy

Hi everyone- I did put my email address into my profile and apparently that worked as Greg sent me an email yesterday:) And just to update- I did indeed get much lower for the Beaumont than I had hoped on EBay. The Granville went for excatly the same price I paid for it a couple of years ago so I guess that one worked out fine. Kathy

Who needed DC Cambridge Trim pieces?
Sydneystyle replied to Sydneystyle's topic in Dura-Craft Dollhouses
Got it Greg- thank you again! Kathy -
The personal messages are not working so I cant look up to see who it was that needed replacement parts for the Cambridge. I am FINALLY getting around to sorting out the two kits I have into one complete one. (The first one I got was missing all the siding and most of the floors) BUT- here is the kicker- I cant find my directions anywhere! I know I had them out to peruse- but I have misplaced them and turned my house inside out looking. Of course I cant go through the kit without them. Does anyone have a set they could email me? I did actually add my email address to my profile under the AIM tab so hopefully members can see it. Thanks!! Kathy Brae- I know you wanted some of the trim- most of what is in the other kit doesn't have much color difference between the splices.

I also have a Cambridge kit for sale- now apparently this had been started and the floors were glued to walls at some point- but I haven't looked inside the box for so long I am not sure what is up with it- need to go and get serious about checking. I WILL make sure the kit is complete as I have two of them and I can take from one to complete the other. (The first one I got was missing the floors and all the siding) I also have siding to match so I can include a couple of pieces if there is siding missing. Better than new! (Since we all know how notorious Dura-Craft was for leaving stuff out of their kits.

Hey ladies- Sorry I was away from the computer for a while and the internet was slow at my office today. You know from past experience I would say that you would probably do better bidding for it on EBay- I am not expecting to get what I really wanted from either kit. I am betting I get about 2/3 of what I would sell them outright for. I guess I need to add my email address on my profile:) Kathy

Hi everyone! Just not a lot of time to get to all my kits- I have chosen 3 or 4 to keep and the rest must go. I have an Artply Granville and a Greenleaf Beaumont I have gone ahead and put on EBay- started both at 99 cents! http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1555.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1555.l2649 Thanks for looking! Kathy

Thanks! I spent HOURS on the computer with the design making sure I could repeat it properly. (I also made a rug pattern to match) then I printed it on cotton from my little printer to begin with-then Brae told me about Spoonflower. It is NOT cheap- so I also offer it on Etsy. It has taken a few tries to get the scale correct- but it is finally right. Now I have rugs, and chair cushions etc. i also made up other Morris fabric- that is on Etsy too.

This is a half finished chair cusion on 32 ct gauze that matches another rug I have on Etsy- but these designs lend themselves to chair cushions pretty well. -

I think I got the print scale correct- I checked a couple of photos of original full size Morris furniture and this print is right on for scale! -
