    Hi @Emerald! It is not one of the "Streets of Shops", though I LOVE those little kits. This is a "Curiosity Shop" by Rocky Mountain Woodcrafts. It was only offered as part of a class at the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys Fall show many years ago. Though, now that you mention it, I probably COULD put a few of those "Streets of Shops" kits around it and they would all fit right in... and I have the perfect shelf. D'oh! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. I'm glad you like my little shop. - Wendy

    Sadly, I can't go. I work that Saturday and I can't get anyone to cover for me. But I promised the museum folks I would let as many people know as I could. @Mid-life madness You should come visit Colorado for the September show! - DMMDT Fall Show 2017 Just sayin'.

    Aww, that is just sad. I haven't watched Babe in ages, but I guess now I have to! :)

    Noted! I'll have to see if I can track it down and get a screen cap. I've got a couple movies coming from Netflix just to see the dollhouses. I'm obsessed with this project! Oh wow! Good find, Elsbeth! I'm going to have to see if I can track this down. Thank you!!! (and yeah, those couches.... hmm.) Keep them coming, you guys! This is great! Thank you so much for playing! :)

    WOW!!! That's pretty darn cool, @TerriAnn Hey @grazhina, I'll have to check that out! Thank you! Weird about the image, but we'll get it sorted. Thanks for adding to the list!

    Keep them coming you guys!!! @Elsbeth, I did a blog entry with the first few dollhouse in TV/movies and it's here - Dollhouses in Movies and TV Part 1 of ? And that Ghost Story episode, "House of Evil" and "Secrets in the Attic: The Dollhouse Murders" are both on it! They are both available on YouTube and there are links in the blog entry. I loved them both. That is absolutely fascinating that the "Ghost Story" house was Darren and Samantha's house too! WOW!!! Now I feel like I learned something. I love this thread. Thank you all so much! And thank you @TerriAnn for starting it! :)

    Before it was filled with animals...
    Thanks, Samusa. I am embarrassed to admit that this little building was the first time I ever worked with paperclay. I learned a lot on this little structure, and I still love it a lot. :)

    Animals on the Shelves
    Thanks, Samusa! It was originally a potion shop, and it may well go back to being one after the animal collection outgrows the space.

    Well, the good/bad news is, she has a website. You know, so you can see all the cool things she makes. - Bridget McCarty Miniatures. We're selling at the show this year, so I'm hoping we'll be too busy at our own table to be tempted. But... you never know. :)

    The Front Window from Inside

    From the album: The (Tiny) Glass Menagerie

    There are those birds we were peeking at through the window: a crane and a pelican. The red panda was a gift from my sweetie at a miniature show a few years ago. He's made by the incredibly talented Bridget McCarty. She's coming to the Colorado show in September.... we'll see who ends up following me home from her table this year. :)

    The (Tiny) Glass Menagerie

    Images added to a gallery album owned by Griffonfeathers in Members' Gallery

    Deep in the heart of the Wylde Kingdom is a tiny shop full of glass animals. I've collected tiny glass animals for a long time, before I even got into dollhouses, actually. And as I take these pictures I realize my collection is a little crowded and I probably need a new shop! D'oh! :)

    Glass Critters on the Shelves

    From the album: The (Tiny) Glass Menagerie

    The giant knife is a bit of an oddball in the shop, but I love it and I don't have anywhere else to put it right now. So, it's a decoration. Not that the animals every get unruly or anything. :)

    Looking Through the Front Door

    Critters on the shelves, comfy chairs where you can sit and enjoy some time with the tiny zoo.

    This is a picture of the shop right after I finished it. It was the first thing my sweetie and I ever built together. *dreamy sigh* :)

    Animals on the Shelves

    From the album: The (Tiny) Glass Menagerie

    I've been hoarding collecting tiny glass critters for years now. I'm realizing that my collection may well have outgrown this shop.... especially since there are more on the way. :)

    I agree! Well, some days it would be kind of handy, but most of the time I'd rather just do it myself. Oh wow, Holly! It's been so long since I watched "Hook" I hadn't remembered that at all! Good addition! Thank you! (And now i have to watch "Hook" again. I love that movie, but as a Wendy, I think I'm legally required to like everything "Peter Pan" related. ;) )

    Well, there's a 100% flame free dollhouse in Mary Poppins. :) A Spoon Full of Sugar Keep them coming, you guys! This is so great!

    Oh wow, @KathieB! That is a "behind the scenes" video of the dollhouse burning for this music video here - The Last Dance, by the Limousines. The music video actually shows the interior of the house (which was apparently a tiny murder scene. GAH!) I had heard the song (and I think it's quite pretty, too) but I hadn't ever seen the video. How weird. It looks like there are a bunch of dollhouse burning videos on YouTube, certainly more than I would have expected. Good find, KathieB and @Sable . I don't know that it occurred to me to look before. I wonder what the guy in Sable's video was hoping to get across? Weird.

    I almost always have two or more projects going at the same time because I have project ADD apparently. It's always hard for me to start a house (because I'm overwhelmed by the potential and figuring out how I should do it) and then finishing a house because all of the teeny tiny little finishing up things are a) tedious and b) never ending. "Art is never finished, only abandoned." - Leonardo da Vinci So... I don't know if I can say that I've ever finished a dollhouse, but I have abandoned a bunch of them. I hope your ideas settle so you can get started on your Madison soon! It's going to be amazing, whatever you decide to do!

    Huh. It is a really lovely bison. it really is. But that's like 3 car payments for me. Wow.... We are in the weirdest hobby. Seriously.
