Mary Prefers Chocolate Ice Cream

Chocolate is Mary's favorite ice cream flavor. I took her on a trip to see if she liked her new Doll House Room. The problem is that she doesn't know that she is just a doll. She is sure she is real. Her hair got all wind blown in the car because she loves the breeze in her hair.

She sat and ate her ice cream while she looked around.

The ice cream cone seemed to be the only thing that pleased her.

She was aghast at her surrounding. She looked disgusted and asked "Where is my house?

Where is Martin? Where are my things? Why is this so dirty? Where is the grass? Do I have to live here?" When dolls are upset they seem to be very difficult and ask so many questions.

I explained to Mary that this will be her new Town. I tried to convince her it will be bigger and better and that her house will still be on Lundby Lane. Mary wasn't happy at all.

Lights Out!

Mary wouldn't come with me. She insisted on staying.

She told me she wanted to start cleaning.

I'll go back and check on her in a couple days.

Note: I'm having some computer troubles (monitor) and am working on a cost effective resolution. Thank you to all the World Wide visitors and to all the wonderful miniature fans that left me wonderful comments.

What's for dinner Martin?

What's for dinner Martin?

Martin is wondering what is going on on Lundby Lane. He has noticed that no big Peeps have stopped by lately to see what they are up too.

Estate Sale Update:

It took two months to gently clean over 2,000 pieces of crystal items, glassware and I sorted approximately 1,500 pieces of jewelry. The Estate Sale was incredible hard work but worth it as it was a success. The most challenging part was that we had to remove everything we wanted from the living areas and secure it in storage locations. We kept all the good stuff but that meant that literally everything had to be gone through. The work does not stop now though. We are waiting for a donation company to come and pack the balance of items so the house will be empty. Then the remodeling work begins. Hubby and I will be settling in after the remodel is done. Then we have our home to fix up and sell.

Item #2 you don't know about me: The end result of all this hard work is that I will have a whole room just for my doll houses and dolls. Yes, I will have my own doll house room!!! The sign on the door will say "No adults allowed." I am doing everything is my power to achieve this goal.



The above photo is what the room looked like prior to any sorting of items. Today the room doesn't look much different other than some of the smaller items and the wall hangings have been purchased during the sale. There is also a good sized walk in closet which I will use for storage of my tiny treasures. I am determined to have the best doll house room I possibly can.


This room has not been painted in 25 years. I would love to hear any ideas about paint color that goes with Doll Houses. I haven't even thought about that yet nor do I have a clue what would look best.


Note: This was mom's store all room. The drawers were filled with old paperwork. The sofa is ancient and didn't sell. The furniture is from the 1960's. The closet was full to the brim with all sorts of stuff. If you love your children start cleaning things now. Mom grew up in the Great Depression and didn't learn how to throw things out. God Bless her though. For every ten items that were garbage there was one item that was a treasure.


Happy Day to YOU!
