I picked up a paper dollhouse book called My Dream Dollhouse at Borders last week for $3. It's so cute and reminded me that I had several other paper dollhouses. I thought you all might appreciate them. I worked at a bookstore about 12 years ago and bought them back then: Van Gogh's House, Monet's House at Giverny, and Botticelli's Bed and Breakfast.
 Check my gallery for more pictures. They are so neat! |

Those are so cool! I used to love those things, I had an old one in a hardbound book. I don't know what happened to it.

Woah!! Those are so neat!!! Are they in a book, or do you build them? My dad gave me a couple of paper model dollhouses to build. They are still in the packages, and I left them at their house. adhd is not so great sometimes. LOL

When we had our bookstore I built a couple of paper castles to decorate it.

Just think of the thought and planning that had to go into creating them! Thanks for sharing.

QUOTE (CatColorado @ Jul 29 2010, 08:24 PM)  Those are so cool! I used to love those things, I had an old one in a hardbound book. I don't know what happened to it. Don't you wish sometimes that you could step back into your childhood and pick up some of those treasured toys? We moved around a lot when I was a child and my treasures kept disappearing. Looking at these pictures is ringing some bells in the back of my brain; I think I once had something similar also. I know I had a little tin dollhouse that I played with a lot -- until the next move!  I remember playing with paper dolls quite a bit -- I guess they were easy enough to pack up so I didn't lose them all! If you can dream it, you can do it. --Walt Disney. |

These all fold up like a book, no building required. I do get nostalgic for the toys I used to play with when I was young. My sister and I are always saying "I wish we could play (insert 70's or 80's game/toy here)."

YES! Claudia! I had a metal dollhouse with the tacky 50's furniture, I had a larger scale set of doll furniture that was made of maple I believe and lots of paper dolls I collected. Who knew I would want them as an adult?

Barbies replaced paperdolls for little girls. I would rather have the paperdolls; I had LOTS!
