Meet the Meyers

MEET THE MEYER's
Yes, a new family.
Just more Peeps in Peepville where taxes are low, jobs are good, and people keep moving in.
Let's meet the Meyers Family
(Thanks so much Rebecca! I just love them.)
We have Dad, Earl.
Mom is called Ermie.
Handsome young lad is named Ernie.
And the precious daughter is referred to as Emma.

They came to town because they wanted to start a Barber Shop along with a Beauty Shop. Be sure to notice Earl's hair because his lovely wife Ermie takes care of it for him. She uses lots of hair care products and always tells him never to look into the mirror and that he always looks terrific. No, she has no training but takes great pleasure in thinking she knows whats she is doing. Earl isn't trained to be a barber either but he once used a razor successfully so he figured he was good to go.

The new shop is a buzz with patrons on Opening Day. Ernie is at the front desk scheduling appointments. Emma is organizing the shelves with items for sale.

Just look at all the people waiting.

Marta is having a consultation first and just wants a trim (lower right photo.)

Martin is very nervous about the sharp blades as he looks over Earl's spiffy, fly away hair. Earl assures him that they do have a First Aid kit on hand just in case. Martin thinks to himself that Peepville needs to staff it's volunteer fire department with Paramedics.

Credits: Shop has been set up in the Brinca Dada, Emerson House using Brinca Dada and Lundby furniture. The dolls once belonged to Rebecca. I was lucky enough to win them and she sent them to the U.S. on a tiny little boat that took quite a while but the dolls have been welcomed to Peepville and will soon have a fine home near Lundby Lane.

Miss Pretty and Dr. Bob

Dr. Bob is sitting in his office working on some paperwork.
In through the window comes a low, soft voice asking if the Doctor is in.

Dr. Bob replies why yes I am the doctor. What ails you dear? Please come in.


Miss Pretty tells the doctor that her right foot feels funny.

Dr. Bob has a look.

He tells Miss Pretty she had better lie down because he has some news to tell her.

He gently tells her that it seems her right foot has broken off. He asks about the pain. Miss Pretty says Oh Doctor it doesn't hurt because I'm a doll and we don't have any pain. I am walking funny though.

The doctor tells Miss Pretty he has the perfect thing for her and gets her a wheel chair. Miss Pretty tells the doctor how wonderful this is and that she can now get on her way.

Miss Pretty thanks the doctor and rolls out the door saying Good-Bye.


Collage photos below are close ups of the some of the highlights of the Doctors Office. All these items are from the early 1900's to 1920's, very precious and 3/4 scale.

Credits: All items in the scene are vintage or antique except for the ExLax sign and the wheel chair. Miss Pretty is perfect 3/4 scale and on her back it says Made in Hong Kong. I suspect she is rather old though because her pretty dress is slowly turning to dust.

My First Caco Doll

Here she is.
Mint in Box.
Hubby named my first Caco Doll Greta.
She is just beautiful and 3/4 scale.
She fits into the Lundby World fabulously.
I love, love, love her.
I found her in a case at the local antique store filled with guy stuff like old buttons and metal hardware. There she was over in the corner looking pretty. I could not see the price tag though.

The nice folks at the antique store opened the case for me and I turned the price tag over expecting $20. or so. When I saw $6.00 she was mine, mine, mine. All mine. She even still has the original tag on her arm.


I haven't much taken her out of the box because I don't want to get her all dirty with my grubby paws. My Lundby collecting rule is items must be Lundby or better. This precious doll is much better than the Lundby dolls and I want more of them.
