Those are reproductions, these are originals. She's not living anymore to make dolls, so they are very rare now. see here: prices of original dolls

Here's the listing! I'm selling a pair of Marcia Backstrom dolls. This listing is for TWO (2) dolls. Both dolls are in good used condition. Male doll has visible Marcia Backstrom initials on his back (see image). Male doll is also not clothed (you can easily make him an outfit!). Female doll has her hair pinned and is clothed. These dolls are 1/12th dollhouse scale. The doll hands will be protected with foam. I received these dolls as a gift a long time ago but I'm downsizing and selling them. I would for them to go to a loving home! I am considering all submitted offers!!

Thanks for these tips but I already ripped out my lights lol I'm more focused on finishing my dollhouse at this point which has progressed a lot since I took out the wiring

I'm only going to have 1 light per room and maybe 2 max as floor/table lamps so it's not an issue for me :)

I've found some quite cheap ones at Minimum World. I think I might buy a bunch of these to make my own lights Hope is not lost for me !!

I had installed tape wire electrical in my dollhouse last year and it worked fine until this summer when I moved and I guess something knocked out of place...I tried to fix it but I already wallpapered and I didn't want to rip everything out. Really sad because I spent time on the wiring but in the end I think it's best for me to just invest in battery powered lights. Oh well I've removed all the wired lights in the house and will reuse them in other projects, though!

Omg *_* I need.

Love that idea! I was thinking a bouquet inside :)

@pandaminiatures :)

you can get these chinese dollhouse kits from banggood.com for a lot less...

I definitely will!! :)

I've decided to just do a trunk with a removable tray. I am going to put mementos inside on the tray and on the inside of the trunk top I'm going to put pictures from our relationship Thanks for the suggestions!! <3

I LOVE this idea! I think I'm going to combine the chest and roombox idea but make it a small roombox and decorate it with references to us and our experiences Maybe I can explain each one and then with the chest, I can say "...and this miniature I especially love, look at this..." or something haha if I don't get too nervous lol so adorable! If i end of doing this idea or a mix of roombox and chest, I'll probably make it myself so i can customize it. Thanks for the inspo!

What a cute idea! I'm adding to to my possibilities for sure Thanks!

I've struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. I used to put my creativity into painting but when I found my passion for creating miniatures, it just fit. I'm currently on hiatus from medication due to a change of doctors. Creating small worlds that I can imagine stories for eased my symptoms just enough. However, there are some days where I have no motivation at all to work on anything creative. I try to tell myself that it's okay to take a break when the juices aren't flowing. Though, personally, NOT working on minis enough gives me anxiety (like if I have to go to class or work when I'd rather be working on things). In that case, I usually do a small kit or a paper craft to just complete something so that I feel accomplished. It's okay to step back sometimes just focus on yourself. The minis will always be there when you want to return. If you ever want to talk, let me know :)

So, I'm planning on proposing to my girlfriend this Spring in Colorado (we're going for a family reunion). I want to take her to a hot springs...and that's how far I am into planning the actual proposal lol She has always supported my miniature passion and creativity. I wanted to maybe create a miniature to put the ring into? Any ideas? I have until March to create something...I'm just drawing blanks or my ideas seem lame I don't know :/ Any help would be appreciated!! Anyway I wasn't sure if this fit on the mini forum so I put it here haha
