This dollhouse is one of my favorite projects to date. I’m such a kid-at-heart when it comes to toys. I love dollhouses because it reminds me of the happy and innocent times of my childhood. In the past, I could play with my dolls and dollhouses all day. Now, I can’t wait to pass this handmade gift on to my nieces.

Thank you!
This brings back so many memories! When I was a kid in the 70s there was a play set called The Sunshine Family that encouraged making your own furnishings and clothes for the dolls. I think we had as much fun making the furnishings from recycled/repurposed items as we did playing with the dolls! Thanks for sharing your beautiful project with us at Creatively Crafty #ccbg 🙂
