Thimble Hall Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I can't believe it. I have searched for 3 years and so have folks here Today I got a list of dollhouse shops in the UK which I may find time to visit when I go over in a couple of weeks, there were many many more than I have heard of and I started looking at their web pages there right on one of them was my house. It is called Letsby Avenue Pictures show mine is the first one ' the other two are from different shops ,as you can see they came painted in different colors. Once I had the name I found several, some stores had a few old stock but it is a discontinued Streets Ahead. I am thrilled, it was only a few days ago when I began working on it I said it needed a name. The really funny thing if you say Letsby Avenue quick it sound exactly like my Dad getting us all in the car for a seaside trip when I was a child he used to say " lets be 'aving you" Oh Gosh I really needed this thrill and treat too. So funny little house I have ignored you for so long, I am sorry, especially cos it seems since I started you, you have found me too. Now I have to give you a name that reminds me of my Dad.

Shareb Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yay! That must be somewhat of a relief to find it after so long! Love that the name reminds you of your dad - funny how things work out sometimes. Obviously you're in the right place now to have this knowledge!

Thimble Hall Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Maybe this will be the long promised memory house, albeit a bit small. I grew up in a vicarage which served the Queens St church. We then moved to a street called Salisbury . If I go closer to home I would like to call the memory house something to do with Robins..long story but very very close to my family and history.. Looking at the design of the house I can't call it Cottage or Hall.. maybe just house . Robin's House sounds as though it belongs to someone called Robin which would be wrong.. The Robins suggests a family name too, I may call it simply Robins and the street will ne Memory Lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
