The Smallest

Behold the latest -and smallest- addition to my collection of antique and vintage dolls houses! 

Pictured here inside the big 'Centennial' dolls house, this little beauty stands only 9 cm tall. Its width is 4,5 cm and is 6 cm deep (for my American friends, that is: 3.54x17.7x2.36 inches).

The house is made of plywood and is covered with paper. The inside is an empty space with no floors, but that can be changed if desired. I have no idea about her age, but I wouldn't be surprised if she's from 1950s vintage.

I'm thrilled with this little gem, as she mimics the 'look' of my bigger dolls houses perfectly. Just like her 'big sisters' she shows her age, and that makes her so fascinating! I couldn't wish for a better item to decorate one of my dolls houses with!

A Lundby lamp sparkles back to life.

 

Hello everybody, I hope you're well! 

This little vintage Lundby lamp was kept in storage for a long time, because I couldn't make it work anymore.

So yesterday I decided to bring it to someone who knows a lot about both miniatures and electricity, and he repaired it for me! So here it is, sparkling like a jewel in the magical half light of my living room!

Now I think of it, I guess it's a bit symbolic for me too, after spending so much time without publishing anything here, finally 'the lights' go back on again..

 

 Wish you a great week, and see you soon!
