Qubanqtee Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I am 55, as a child I remember going to eat at a restaurant (which was rare to start out with) and in the same center as that restaurant was a Dollhouse store, my Dad would always take me, it was quietly understood that this hobby was nothing we could afford, but I fell in love anyway and longed for the day I could do this. When I was 24 and in the US Navy, I passed by a dollhouse store in Connecticut, I went in and after saving a little while, I was able to purchase the vanity in the photo. The porcelain dolls are the first ones I ever made, around the same time. I thought these had been lost...since I moved from Connecticut in 1988, I've moved more than 20 times...mostly military moves....today, as I rummaged though some of my Mom's belongings (she passed 3 years ago, I came across a box...a small white one and I instantly knew what was inside. I know that only peeps like you would understand how happy my heart is. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qubanqtee Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 thank you all - it's been quite heartwarming to find them after all these years. I will find a place of honor, most likely in the ACP Queen Anne I have yet to rehab. In the meantime, on a shelf where I can enjoy them until their home is ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
