1860's living with No running water, no electricity and only wood burning fireplaces to heat the house.

Mary goes shopping at Good Will

So Martin which shoes look better with this outfilt.

Does it make me look fat?

Martin shrugs his head in disgust.

Mary thinks she'll get both pairs of shoes because the

total cost for the whole outfit would only be $1.50 plus it's

half off day at Good will.

New & Improved

Welcome to my new doll house room.  I have 8 houses on display and a couple more tucked away.  I also have one house in the guest room and one in the kitchen for Christmas display.  Yes that is the Arizona flag on the wall.  We are blessed to have been able to leave crappy Illinois.  We now live in Prescott Valley, AZ in a small town in the high desert at 5,000 feet elevation. 

Joy to the world!

 Let's see what is happening in the ole Gothenberg. 

It looks like a party.

 Mr. Claussen has already had too much to drink and is passed out.

Martin is steadfast in the kitchen preparing all sorts of food.  Hey, he is just like my husband leaving the fridge open and the cabinets open and spilling milk on the floor.  But he sure is a great chef.

We have hosted a Christmas party for the neighborhood and the oohs and aahs in the doll house room were incredible.  Surprisingly the men looked longer and asked more questions than the women did.  Any children who have seen the room have just wanted to play, play, play.

Hope your Christmas is lovely, the food is great and smiles & hugs are plentiful. 

God Bless you all and may some of the good news be yours. 

Merry Christmas

The Lundby gals are gathered to have their little party and gift exchange. 

They want to wish a MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!

The little girl says her prayers while her big sister watches. 

She is praying for Santa.  She is asking that he please be safe and bring her some new toys.  She dreams of Christmas morning and all the good food she will eat. 

Meanwhile on the roof top Santa has arrived with many wonderful new toys.  Mom is in the kitchen preparing lots of great food.

May all your Christmas dreams come true.

Hey Martin, where are we?

Why Mary turn around and have a look. Don't get so close to the edge Martin. It looks like a long way down.
Don't worry Mary, I have my good shoes on.
AAAaaahhh this sure is a lovely view Martin. Just look at how blue the sky is and this huge Canyon sure looks Grand.
But where are we Martin?

Why Mary, we live so close to here now. It was worth being in that box for almost a year to get here. The air seems cleaner, the people are much nicer and there is lots to do in Arizona. Where do you think we will go next Martin? Gee Mary we can just about walk to Sedona so let's enjoy this for a while and then go do more exploring.

The Toxic Goat and his Christmas House

The Toxic Goat would like to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas.

The poor but happy Goat is so old his coat glows in the dark and is from the days when toxic things were used to paint cast goats. The goat does love his little house though.

(House is antique, German and in fair to good condition.)
Mary and Martin would also like to wish you a Very Merry Christmas.
They are reflecting upon glorious memories and are filled with gratitude. They are living in the moment enjoying some peace, serenity and are about to rip open each others Christmas gift.


All the Lundby Peeps want to wish you a Very Merry Christmas.

Photo below is of my curiou cabinet that has four glass shelves with a mirror in the back. The mirror and glass made it very difficult to take photos. The photo below is from the top of the cabinet looking down at all four shelves. Each shelf has a different miniature Xmas scene.

Each scene has little dolls that want to wish you all a

VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

A LUNDBY Wedding

The Happy Couple.

Now hubby and I were spiritually married long ago.

We finally decided to make it legal.

It was a great way to allow some elder relatives to have the time

of their life planning and preparing. Happy Summer Everybody.

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.
