New Car Shopping at the Toy Store

Mary and Martin go car shopping at the Toy Store.This one seems so plastic.

This one has a funny thing on the front end.

Martin turns to Mary and says "We'll wait till we find a nice wooden car for us." Mary agrees.

The Dolls go to The Toy Store - Allison Wonderland, Lake Geneva, Wisc

Posted by Picasa

Thanks to the store owner of Allison Wonderland's Toy Store in Lake Geneva, Wisc for allowing me to bring Mary and Martin into the store to shop. They browsed everything. They liked the horse stables, the bridge, the Play Mobile items and the fantasy items. Mary especially liked the puppies. Thanks Chris!!! We had a really great time in your store.

Gambling Dolls














Credits: The Las Vegas Gambling table is an antique plastic ashtray (Pre 1963) with a decorated metal insert. What a hoot! Found for a reasonable price in an antique store. Once hubby showed it to me I had to go to the car to get my dolls to see if it would work. Wala... Gambling Dolls!!! Looks like the dolls won. The small dice were a set purchased at Hobby Lobby. The tiny red and black chips are made of thick paper and came with a small checker set.
Thanks to Oese for the Lundby Box idea. She has a really great Blog at http://raumfuerraum.blogspot.com/

Vintage Doll House Items

What is it Martin? Where did you get it? It's so big... How did you get it here? It's so old... Will it keep us warm? Does it work? Can we paint it? Where are we going to put it? Why did you bring this home? What's it all about Martin?
Credits: We scored! Hubby found this at an antique store in Southern Wisconsin. Cost was very reasonable. It was mixed in with some plastic doll house items. It is stamped "Made in Germany - US Zone" so hubby thinks from the late 1940's. It is so well built with tounge and groove joints that are just incredible. In original condition with no paint loss anywhere. It is an old Bodo Hennig German stove. It's pretty big for 1:16 scale Lundby so not sure where it belongs but it sure is a beaut and I wanted to share. Also need to share that we are not just wealthy people who shop all the time. We have had special circumstances recently with mom passing that allowed us to get away for a few days to start the healing process and we hit so many antique stores to find just a few special items. We will miss mom terribly but now she is in our doll houses and will be with us and remembered always.

If anybody has any further information on this Vintage Stove I would appreciate it if you could share. Value, age, etc...

Mary Goes Shopping Again

Well now that Mary has gone shopping again. Martin has been reviewing the bids for the sale of the Gotland Model and Mary has been all over town filling up her wagons with new little treasures. Mary sure has noticed how tall the grass has gotten since Martin fertlized it. Martin is due to meet Mary at the Gotland to see all the new items she's acquired. She found an old oak toy chest, some kids toys, a new chair, a heart shaped hanger, a new little church, a pair of fancy red lamps, a small foot stool and a sofa table she just had to have. She also spent some time in the woods collecting pine cones to toss in the fireplace.

Over here is one of her red lamp, two baskets of strawberries, some Crisco, some seasonings and a nice litle display rack for the coffee shop or the new mall. She also found a sturdy wide legged table and a backgammon board. She also bought a couple of new rugs. She is sure Martin will be pleased.

Look at what she found for the Evil Baby.

Martin calls to Mary through the over grown grass,

"I hope you bought a lawn mover."

Mary just chuckles. Mary also bought this awesome brass giraffe statue. She thought it would look good for the new mini mall that Martin is working on.

Credits: New items acquired from a few trips to antique malls. The further out in the country we go the better deals we get. The new rugs are Lundby. The tall grass is from the local floral shop. They had them in the back cooler and I just had to get them. I wasn't sure why but now I know. Gots to find my little peeps a lawn mover now.

GOTLAND OPEN HOUSE
Mary and Martin Host an Open House for the New Gotland Model Home on Lundby Lane. Many, many little peeps stop by to check it out.




Mary and Martin are pondering all potential buyers. Will they sell? Will they rent it out? Will they keep the Gotland? Who would fit in on Lundby Lane? Who will bid the highest? Stay tuned.
Future blogs coming: "Mary goes shopping again" and "Evil Baby's Birthday Party". Hubby has requested a new strip mall with many stores. Plus the results of this Open House will be revealed.
