Spring Fling 2009
This is my husband's creation, entirely. The only contribution I made was allowing him access to my "stash" of accessories, to complement those that he didn't make himself.
Chittamoo Jean's Trapper Lodge, circa 1805, is a post-in-sill log cabin, with a bark roof. The post-in-sill construction is parallel vertical log ends set in the gorund, and then horizontal log sides dropped into the space between them. The lodge has a bark roof, a jamb stove in the fireplace, and a chimney of river clay and stone. Log timbers support the upper floor and roof. There are Dutch doors in both the loft and the main entrance. The lower floor is dirt.
The log sideing is carved form local basswood boards, the bark from saplings form our 15 acres, and the ladder, stove, benches, rope bed, fireplace and windows are handmade by the builder.

New Dollhouse, to be rehabbed.
This house was bought sight unseen, when my sister-in-law discovered it in a thrift store. $85 and a 50 mile trip later, it's MINE! :) Needs rehabbing, to be sure..
but is structurally sound and a great little house. I love the porch, especially on the second floor! :)

New Furniture and Lamps
The large bookcase, desk, table and waste can are from a Realife Miniatures Easy-to-assemble Wood Furniture Kit, sold in the 60's, and which I bought off eBay, some time ago. The other furniture are Houseworks pieces that a friend's 3-year-old used as hammers until my friend "rescued" them and gave them to me to repair and refinish.
The lamps are beads and jewelry findings...

The Purple Prose
A Houseworks "shop". A bookstore run by a sweet naive kitten-of-a-cat who doesn't quite get the double entendre!
