One can have a piece of furniture which is absolutely true to life; that doesn't work with dolls, however good they are. That's why I prefer the kind made by Judith James, as in the Victorian house in the photos above, that are unashamedly not real people (though they do have characters of course). Having said that, I am rather taken with the ones that Butterfly has just created for the Tudor Tavern (last post) :-)Cestinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050699324845479257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-62009301365223247892017-05-31T14:24:47.387+01:002017-05-31T14:24:47.387+01:00Enchanting!

I love to hear (or read) the back stories that other dolls' house lovers give to their little people. <br /><br />I know a great many people prefer their houses to remain without inhabitants who might make a mess in the perfectly laid out houses, but to me, those houses are often a little bleak. They are, after all DOLLS' houses and I believe they need dolls whith lives of their own to fulfil their destiny. This story and layout are of the kind I love.<br /><br />So, a big thank you to Andrea - and to Cestina for allowing her to tell us about it.jenannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321001863688006661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-15407391103388151602017-05-31T11:25:50.138+01:002017-05-31T11:25:50.138+01:00How lovely Diane - I should love to see the result...How lovely Diane - I should love to see the results :-)Cestinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050699324845479257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-87795115647866084932017-05-31T09:21:13.976+01:002017-05-31T09:21:13.976+01:00Loved the story and the dolls house workshop is fa...Loved the story and the dolls house workshop is fantastic, I am doing something similar in my modern dolls house but it will be a mini me making the dolls houses :).Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16922513743119944185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-25372030536119799632017-05-30T13:24:24.045+01:002017-05-30T13:24:24.045+01:00How lovely that everyone else can now get a glimps...How lovely that everyone else can now get a glimpse into Pepik's life.
