Hello! I took the plunge and joined your forum. I live in Montana, USA. I've been fascinated by miniatures since childhood, and remember writing to a miniatures store in the 80s to request a catalog in the mail--then pouring over the catalog and "shopping" and dreaming. Fast forward through library books on miniatures, and the internet as it came into being and grew . . .
Most recently, I have enjoyed looking at everyone's photos as they popped up in searches online--you all have so much creativity!
Well, 20+ years of dreaming and I finally have a dollhouse! Last year I found a DuraCraft FH505 (the same model I had wanted as a child! No kidding!), which I purchased from a fellow who had started the house, but didn't want to finish it. I work on it when I'm not busy with young children and hubby!
