PETITE PRINCESS ROYAL GRAND PIANO AND STOOL - COLLECTORS ITEM

Now I've finally found the "Petite Princess 
Royal Grand Piano and Stool." on Internet. 
The other day the postman came home to 
me with it. I'm so happy because I've 
been looking for several years without 
finding this on the Swedish auction sites. 
They are very rare here in Sweden. 

This is a part of the "Petite Princess 
Fantasy Furniture" by Ideal, whose 
dollhouse furniture is incredibly wellmade.

I like it partly because it has piano keys, 
that really looks like real keys. On the 
ones I have before, the keys are made ​​
of paper.

I think this grand piano is so beautiful 
with the nice decor. 

(This is the same kind that "Xandra" has
as header on her wonderful blog. To see 
her blog = press on her name above). 

HÄNGBOK, "FAGUS SYLVATICA PENDULA" TREE, IN SÖDERTÄLJE SWEDEN.

One of my Favorite Trees:
Hängbok 'Fagus sylvatica' Pendula'.

This little tree grows in Södertälje, 
Sweden and I could see it, when I was 
on my way to work or to the center of 
the town, when I lived there.

It feels like it tells a bit of history, 
because I think it is very, very old. 
The branches form a nice cave
under the tree.

I am sharing these photos because I 
can not find so many photos of these 
kind of trees on the Internet.

RESCUED A "LITTLE MISS GINGER" COSMOPOLITAN DOLL FROM A SAD FATE.

This "Little Miss Ginger" Cosmopolitan doll 
from the 1950's,  that I found in Sollentuna 
Fair in Stockholm, looked so miserable so I
bought her and rerooted her hair. It's 
actually a pretty tricky job.

Little Miss Ginger with white hair is quite 
rare, so I decided to save this doll from a 
sad fate. 

She looked so sad before she got the new
hair, poor thing. I sewed a new dress for 
her in the same style as the original dresses 
and I also made a necklace. 

Now I think she looks like a real nice lady. 
Glad I saved her.

Below you can see before and after photos.

♥♥♥
In the photo below you can see my first Little 
Miss Ginger doll that was in complete and good 
condition when I bought her.

MR AND MRS CACO'S GOT A NEW BED.

I finally got time to do some new things 
for one of my dollhouses. I have made 
a bedspread and pillows to an iron bed 
that had for a long time, but not used 
before. 

In the photos you can see that Mr. and 
Mrs. Caco inspects what I have done. 
Hope they are happy with it.

Guess Mr. Caco probably likes the pillow 
that does not have any lace best! I made 
it especially for him. ♥

GAVE ONE OF MY 1:12 DOLLHOUSE DOLLS NEW CLOTHES.

I have sewn some new simple everyday
clothes to one of my homemade girls' dolls.
I thought she could use some new, now that
it's spring. She seems very happy that I made
them.

Made them of cloth with colors that make 
all the clothes fit together.

Nowadays I do not sew so much, but before I 
sewed a lot of my clothes from 12 years old 
until I was about 30 years. Designed and sewed 
even my niece wedding gown and christening 
gown for her children.

♥ I also want to welcome my New Followers!

MAYBE THE SMALLEST COMPUTER IN THE WORLD IN THE END OF THIS VIDEO

"The New mac Mini! The Mactini "
I had some fun... This video gave me a 
laugh! Especially "the end with the tiny 
tiny one"..... ha. ha.. Maybe the smallest 
computer in the world!

BOUGHT SOME DOLLHOUSE FURNITURE, DOLLS AND MINITURES SCALE 1:12

I have bought some I hope useful dollhouse 
things. I am happy because some of it I 
found here. There is no shop in this town 
that are selling miniatures for dollhoues, 
but now and than you can find some pieces 
in regular shops. 

Small useful things in the first photo that I 
will use when I am making more lamps. I
love these. 

Wanted some beautiful dolls, so I bought 

some heads with bodies and several hair-
pieces, instead of making new ones myself.
This is the first time I have bought these 
kind of halfmade?-dolls.

Some furniture. They are actually very well

made, even if they did not cost much.. I will

think about if I will make some Changes

with some of them.

And my favorite brand when it comes to

color, except for things that should be

chabby chick.

Elin Håkansons docksamling är en antik dock-

BARBIE AND KEN "MATTEL DOLLS" IN MINIATURE

Since I also am a Barbie collector, I think it is rather 
funny to own these tiny little miniature dolls from 
Mattel. The dolls are only 4,8 and 5,2 cm. The two 
with the boxes are no easy to find. 
The doll  in the red bathingsuit is Skippers doll from
the 1960´s.

"Nice that the Lightbox display" for photo 
    viewing works again. It makes it so much 
    easier to look at everyone's beautiful photos!
