Gosh Gretchen, your beginning food is terrific! I love the memories that come back with looking at an old friend with fresh eyes. And the watch/clock is perfect! I gave my forty year old Roper away with a dollhouse I gave to a children’s hospital when my sister came to stay with me, and my craft room and sewing room became her living area. I had no idea how expensive it would be to replace! Thank you for sharing this with us. This house is marvelous, you should be so proud of it!

Oh my word you are Amazing at what you make. That little crate with the sweet potatoes and carrots just blew me away. I really Loved that. You can say your Daddy loved you with what he bought you for your dollhouse. Your ice box was real cute. The children today probably don't know what and ice box is. You are Amazing at making the food and I love how you put them on your pot. I love your little stories you tell. You hutch was so cute with all those cans. That sure was a nice stove and sink your Daddy bought you. I must say you took very good care of them. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❣️👭💕

I checked and some of the things I have in my Original Dollhouse can be found on AMAZON for the things they are still making. Many other items I have seen on EBay. I hope you can find what you are looking for! Again let me know if there is something in particular you are looking for I can and will help you find it!

Great job! I love to look through windows of dollhouses of their tiny worlds💜💜💜

So cute! You were quite the artist, even as a girl. :) I love your little tomatoes and the other food you made- it all has character. The spoon and fork by the sink could definitely be serving utensils. I have some blue spatterware like yours that I bought back in the '80's, and a basket of veggies, although my veggies are plastic. Your grandmother's watch is a special treasure, and I'm so glad that you found a a way to enjoy it.

Just listening to you talking about your basket of veges made me realise I was stuck in the mindset of making only what I needed right now, instead of making extras and just keeping them aside for future projects. Talk about facepalm! Like DUH! Of course I should be making more, not only does it mean I get more practice making things so I get better at it but I will also have things ready for whatever comes next.

Swinging door!!!! Yes the place I grew up in had a swinging door between the formal dining room and the kitchen. We ate regular meals in the kitchen, played board games, etc. Dining room could be completely closed off , there was the swinging door but also fancy double doors that were usually left open. We ate special occasion meals in there, birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, guests. There was carpeting in there could be a big reason why. The swinging door was handy if your hands were full.
