LUNDBY DOLLHOUSES WITH BALCONY/TERRACE

Feel free to visit my dollpage Min Hemsida/My Homepage 

http://lilsdolls.se/ Dolls and Dollshouses                                                              

I like the new doll´s house from Lundby. It
has a balcony attached to the right gable.
I think that Doll´s houses with balconys or
terraces looksso inviting!

LUNDBY SMÅLAND 2011-2012.
 
Småland year 2011. Lundby Doll´s house.
The house is made of plastic. This house was packed
in a flat carton and has to be assembled by the buyer..
This is all the parts.
 
The stair has a electric contact.
 
The front. 
 
Showing both sides.
 
LUNDBY STOCKHOLM


Stockholm. Lundby doll´s house. It is a favorite.
The house is made of plastic.
 
LUNDBY GÖTEBORG FROM THE 1990´S.


Göteborg. Lundby doll´s house. Gave this one to a
friend. I kept the balcony and some furniture.
(This house was for the family children to play with.)
I think this dollshouse was renamed to Småland when
they started to make the houses in plastic material.

BLYTHE MINIATURE DOLLS, BLYTHE DOLL

Feel free to visit - Min Hemsida/My Homepage
http://lilsdolls.se/   about Dolls and Dollshouses

I have a little collection of Blythe dolls. Now I have
found another one in miniature the other day.

The original doll that is 29 cm high, was only on the
market for about one year in 1972. Her head is
oversized and the body is very tiny. This Blythe
doll can look in a different directions.That makes
her hange the colours of her eyes. That is not the
case on the miniature dolls.

Blythe has been  back on the market for some years
now. I have two replica  dolls in that big size 29 cm,
that can be seen on my "dollpage", in
"Barbie and rivals". I really like these kind of dolls.

MY MINIATURE BLYTHE DOLLS:


Blythe Littlest Pet Shop Mini Blythe 2010, Hasbro.
Blythe now included in Littles Pet Shop for children.
This doll can not close her eyes. She is 11 cm tall
andthe latest doll that I have bought.


Perfect Paisley Star. Mini Blythe sleeping doll,11 cm
tall from Takara/Hasbro. This one can not turn her
eyes from side to side. Year 2006.
 


Hollywood Hill Party, Mini Blythe sleeping doll,
11 cm tall from Takara/Hasbro. Year 2005
This one can not turn her eyes from side to side.

DOLLHOUSE CHAIRS VARIOUS SIZES, DOCKSKÅPSSTOLAR OLIKA STORLEKAR

http://lilsdolls.se/ about Dolls and Dollshouse

A while ago I started to take photos of my dollhouse
furniture, both the ones that I use and the ones
that are still packed in cartons. Sometimes I wonder
what I have bought and have to go throught everything.

Maybe this will make it easier for me. I hope so....

I am showing some of my dollhouse chairs. Some of
these are in use. I think it is fun to compare the sizes!
The Lundby, Brio and Renwall chairs are so tiny in
comparison with the 1:12 chairs that I have.



Some of my dollhouse chairs.

A closer look. The old  1950´s Lundby chair to the left
is 3,4 cm high and all the others are only 3 cm high
from the seat to the floor.

A closer look. These chairs are 3,8 cm high from seat 
to the floor (The seat cusions not included). They can
still be bought in dollhouse shops and at Indiska here
in Sweden.

Now the summer is gone and the autumn has 
arrived.

Today we have changed the clock, in to 
wintertime again (our real time). That means 
that we have to
get up and start the day, one hour later in the 
morning.

This day ended in a "stunning" sunset that I 
"tried" to catch with my camera, but it was 
rather dark outsideso this is what came out ....
Not the best photos, but I publish them anyway, 
because I like the colours.........

ALLMOGE DOLLSHOUSE MINIATURE FURNITURE

Feel free to visit - Min Hemsida/My Homepage
http://lilsdolls.se/ about Dolls and Dollshouse

I think this is a fun little story 
with reference to Droras Bavarian Furniture.

Not long ago Drora at blog-link: Droras minimundo
publisheda post of what she called “Bavarian
Furniture” that she had received as a gift.

I was sure that I had seen some of these furniture
before, so I looked in one of my old catalogues from
year 1998 and I found dollhouse furniture in the same
series as her Bavarian furniture, from year 1998.
Some of them looks like hers.They were sold by a
company for hobby material called "Direct Trade AB"
here in Sweden. It is a hobby/Internet and postorder
shop.

I think that it is fun that I remembered them and that I
have saved the catalogue all these years. But these
furniture  are special I must say. So it seems that
these kind of furniture was sold in more then one c
ountry. Don´t know the manufacturing country.

The style with the flowers and the patterns on the
furniture looks like the Swedish real sized old country
furniture called “Allmoge–Furniture”, from the 18th
and 19th centuries. These kind of furniture were build
and painted in a lot of villages and places in the
countryside by different local carpenters and
painters in Sweden at that time. All the painters had to
here own style, patterns and colours.They are now
collecting objects.

I know that a lot of the real sized furniture has been
bought by collectors.“all over the world” at antique
auctions. They love them. That is now a problem for
antique lovers in Sweden, because to many furniture
has left Sweden andthey are now in other countries.
A lot of them (for example), in the USA.

The photo above is a real sized Allmoge furniture.  It is 
just asmall photo but interesting to see I think.

Now the summer has left us, but I have taken 

photos of my town Katrineholm in Sweden, so 
I can remeber it well.  This town is well known 
for all the flowers, that can be seen everywhere 
in the city.

Our Town Hall, The Green Hill

Plantings in the Baroque style. Embroidery garden
at the Town Hall "Green Hill", Katrineholm.

The embroidery garden wallpaper group planted
annually with about 5000 plantsPlantations are
linked to the Baroque style that dominated the
1600-century European castles and manors.
