  1. Indeed - I wish they kept producing it. It's definitely a nice kit.
  2. Due to changes at work, I decided to go on hiatus with the hobby and find new homes for my dollhouse kits. The following are what I can recall at the top of my head that I have. I'll update this list once I make a trip to my storage unit and assess what I have. I provided links so you have an idea of what they look like. All are 1/12 scale and are being sold as kits unless otherwise noted. Prices are negotiable - please PM me if you're interested (and please include a zip code so I can calculate the shipping.Or do a flat rate and refund the difference if it turned out to less than the flat rate). Thanks everyone in advance!

    The Neville House

    This "dollhouse" was actually a home decor accessory that was sold by CB2 (a division of Crate & Barrel) back in 2011-2012. Found one on eBay and did some updates to it.
  4. <-- yes I am actually dancing like this after seeing the message above. Congrats -- am so happy the Bayberry got to you safely. Woot woot!
  5. <3 Love! (though I might be bias in that I have a fondness for pet mice and rats) So adorable!
  6. Awesome! I have this dollhouse too from 3StarStudios -- this was extremely fun to work with!

    ARC-29

    You have the Erzaztz Girl? Oh my goodness, we both got it at the same 3D shop I think! I have been eyeing that same doll as well? Was the assembly difficult? I had to wear a mask when I was assembling mine (didn't realize how much dust I had to remove in between the parts)!

    Vineyard Roombox

    I wanted to build a roombox that evoke what I love the most during my visits at Martha's Vineyard. Sadly, my husband and I will no longer be able to visit as my grandmother-in-law (a longtime resident of the Vineyard) passed away. So this is my one (of many) tributes to my beloved grandmother-in-law, or "Grandma" as she loved to be called.

    ARC Dollhouse

    This is actually a 1:16 scale dollhouse I purchased from 3StarStudios in Etsy. This is actually the third one I've purchased, and the second version completed.
  10. Hi Freddie, I sent a PM to you. I actually have the Bayberry, but am in the process of downsizing/moving my collections into storage (apparently I hit the space limit in my house).
  11. Thanks Maureen -- my husband initially disagreed with my response. He felt I had every right to spend what I earn on the hobby (much like my cousin's former friend). Guess what irked me with the friend's statement was the assumption of whatever money I had, simply went to the minis. Goodness, folks seem to forget we have other obligations in life too! Think that's what infuriates me when people make comments about our hobby. As if they think we forget about everything else.
  12. I remember one of my guy cousins who had a friend who was into building customized cars (and often financially strapped because he overstepped his resources). When I invited said cousin, his wife, and friend over for dinner, the friend made the smart-alecky comment about my dollhouses as "man, why would you spend this money on this girly crap!" Yes, he did use the word crap. Before my cousin could say anything (and before my husband could throttle him - if anything, he actively encourages my hobby), I just smiled and said "I only buy this 'crap' when I get my bonuses. Which has been quite often now, thanks to my bosses liking my work immensely." That shut the friend up quite quickly. Luckily, my cousin decided to cut ties with him a few years afterward.
  13. Slowly getting back to minis after a long hiatus. Actually doing two projects - one is building on the Collectibles Cabinet (from Real Good Toy's Build-Along project), and then working on my first 3/4 scale dollhouse called the ARC (got it from Etsy). Alternating between the two of them -- the Build Along, I'm cutting up egg cartons to make bricks and stones (and holy smokes, it's taking forever!). The ARC dollhouse I'm about to start putting some LED lights...which is now on hold because my power drill is broken (and my husband won't let me borrow his!)
  14. Hey everyone, Sorry it's been awhile - work had taken over my waking hours. Hopefully my recent promotion guarantees that I'll be back to my normal schedule -- and more time for minis! I wanted to post this to see if anyone was looking for a Jefferson dollhouse kit. I bought it during one of my work travels...but realized that I don't have the space for it. It's the diecut version (not the laser -- at least I don't think it is) and I opened up the box to check its contents. It looks like all the parts are accounted for and in excellent condition. If anyone's interested, please free free to PM me. I can ship it, but will need to check first with the post office to see how much it'll cost to ship it. Thanks.
