Miriam Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi, I'd like to introduce myself here. We are redecorating a room previously used as a storage room, and there I discovered the Glencroft dollhouse I bought more than 10 years ago and never finished. I mentioned this to a friend in New York (I live in The Netherlands) and she sent me this beautiful book: Colleen Moore's dollhouse. I was enchanted right away. If you never heard of it: check it out here. Colleen Moore's dollhouse I browsed through this book, and it made me want to start building again right away. I have to locate the instructions first though. I never build a house before. I love making small things though. I used to do origami with cigarette paper. And I made some replicas from furniture we had at home, including an antique desk with a swivvel chair. I found this site when I was looking for a picture of the Glencroft to show my friend. I am looking forward to getting to know you all better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hello Miriam and :whistle: Glad to have you with us! The Glencroft is a very pretty house. Please take lots of pics to show us when you are able to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Welcome to the forum family, Miriam. I finally got to see Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle when we were in Chicago 2+ years ago. Unfortunately when we went the room was overflowing with loud people and half the speakers that describe the rooms weren't working, so I think I would have enjoyed the book better. There is too much to take it all in in a single visit. We also went another day to see the Thorne rooms at the Chicago Art Institute, and they are wonderful! I love the Glencroft! Mine wanted to be a pub. Has yours told you what it wants to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uppitycats Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Greenleaf is still making/selling the Glencroft (I really like that house; LOVE the staircase!!) If you contact them, maybe they'll send you a new set of instructions for a nominal fee...I paid around $8 (US) for instructions for the Washington.. Here's a link to their contact information: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/about-u..._dollhouse.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miriam Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Thank you for the welcome, everyone. I feel that I am really going to like it here. I think I know where the instructions are. I put them in a big binder, but if not, I'll try Greenleaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hello Miriam, welcome to the forum! I love the Glencroft too - it's a beautiful house, and the staircase is an unusual feature. I really like Tudor style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Welcome to the neighborhood!!! The Glencroft was such a favorite for me that I started building another one and I am almost finished with this second one. You can see the Glencroft blog by clicking here: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/b.../index.php?cat= I can't wait to see your Glencroft! I went to visit Coleen Moore's Castle in May 2007 and I am going back to the Museum soon with some friends. I want the book and think I'll get one this next time. :tomato: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
