Bargains

Doing happydance, since I am so pleased with my latest bargains. Firstly,thank you Kerstin for the lovely things you send me the other day. There are things from her childhood in the 50's. It is going to be so nice to see where to place them.

Secondly I have bought some things fron Åsa. Thank you too. As you can see Åsa I found som spare parts to the orange barthroom.

A sneak peek

I just want to show you what wonderful things I got by the mail yeasterday.

A dormant blog

It is some time since I wrote anything on this blog. I have not abondon it. It just a question of time. I have changed apartment twice in six mounths so everthing is still unpacked. On top of that I am working on my thesis.

But I will be back!

Textile fabrics

A while ago I had problems finding the "right" textile fabrics to sew doll clothes or curtins to the older doll houses. After joining a Facebook group specilized on textiles from the 60s and 70s I could buy these very fine textile fabrics which origins from the 60s.

I am so happy that I now can sew both cloths for naked dolls and curtins for my houses from the 60s.

Will post the result later on. 

Merry Christmas

I wish you all a Merry Christmas 

and a Happy New Year

Work in progress

I would like to invite you to my new project; Pensionat Storspoven. It is a little family hotel named after a bird, a curlew.

As a base for my hotel a have a dollhouse called "Norrland" which was manufactured by Lundby in 1990. I am going to decorate it with furniture manufactured by Lundby from about 1988 to 1992 with some exceptions. Some hotel related furniture I would probably have to made myself. Today we start with a little house tour to see how far the work has went. 

A sitting area were the guests can relax, listen to music, enjoying a fireplace and so on. Yes, there are no fireplace now but hopefully soon there will be one. 

One of the room, very unfinished as you can see. 

The kitchen 

The dining room. 

On the backside of the house there are three more rooms which I am planing of doing to a bedroom, a gym and a bathroom. As you can see the hotel is lacking many items but as I said, it is a work in progress. I am also planing on writing a nice plate with the hotels name on. Coming back later on when I have any news.  

A new bathroom

Recently I bought these wonderful bathroom items. I don´t know the brand neither the age. The seller got it as a Christmas present in 1968 so they are at least 46 years old.

The blue and grey parts are a kind of plastic material while the black parts are of rather heavy metal material. I think the design are very nice and I guess they might be English.  Someone out there who knows? The mirror and the plant are made by Lundby.
