The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Tuesday, 14 July 2015. Before I launch into a description of my most recent project, an update on my last blogpost. I said I thought I had garden chairs and seats - I hadn't anticipated finding nine tiny chairs and three garden seats! And then, joy of joys, Zoe, a visitor from Dolls Houses Past and Present. And I have owned it for many, many years. It came to me in an appalling stat...

Cestina's dolls houses: May 2014
http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Friday, 16 May 2014. For those unfamiliar with Small Worlds, and indeed to remind those of you who haven't seen it since last year, this is what it looked like when we arrived. It didn't take us very long to change all that! Why should we do that you may ask? Blame six months in England when, having recovered, more or less, from moving house, I had time and energy to trawl ebay . It has...

The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Friday, 29 August 2014. That Old House in Paris.Chapter One. All will at last be revealed! I am sorry it has taken so long but some essential items were missing until this week and I really didn't want to post until it was completed. As jam by the way.). Some of you will remember that many moons ago I asked for ideas for House Number Four. From friend and faithful follower Andrea. I...

Cestina's dolls houses: February 2015
http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Saturday, 7 February 2015. A View from the Orient. It is with shame that I realise that my last blogpost. Still says "Season's Greetings" - we are now almost half way to Easter and I am still extending Christmas and New Year good wishes! So I am determined that before I head off for a four day break in Budapest on Monday - I wonder if there are any dolls houses in Hungary? I think it wa...

Cestina's dolls houses: A garden is a lovesome thing.....
http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-garden-is-lovesome-thing.html
The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Monday, 22 June 2015. A garden is a lovesome thing. And I am lucky enough to have two of them now. The full-size garden - courtyard really - has been in existence for a number of years but since opening Small Worlds two years ago I have rather neglected it. So I was left with a large bottom shelf with nothing on it and a need to fill it rapidly before Small Worlds opened to the public o...

The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Thursday, 6 February 2014. Porridge in a pot. Well that's what the pot in question looks as if it should be used for anyway. But in fact it has ended up with something quite different inside it. A dolls house maker was born. And some time later so was a miniature knitter - Sheila produced the most amazing baby clothes and dresses for little girls. All this was so many years ago that I c...

Cestina's dolls houses: November 2014
http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Sunday, 23 November 2014. Or even better - Bomber's Pomsta. Isn't "pomsta" a wonderful word? I was enchanted to find from some Czech visitors that it is the Czech for "revenge". I was trying to explain to them, as they struggled with the pronunciation, why I had so meanly named my 1914 department store "Gosthwaites of Aberystwyth". In this short clip. But enough of that and on to the cr...

The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Thursday, 4 September 2014. That Old House in Paris - Chapter Two. Welcome back to further tales of the Old House in Paris. Before launching into the mammoth task of creating some order out of the many strands of putting this house together, I should like to draw your attention to the Labours of Laura. Whilst she was here a week or so ago. Granddaughter takes at turn at transforming.

Cestina's dolls houses: December 2014
http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Sunday, 21 December 2014. Season's Greetings from Small Worlds. This post follows so hard upon the last, which featured the opening of Gosthwaites Emporium. Because I wanted to wish everyone a joyous Christmas and peaceful New Year from Small Worlds. But those with their carol books in their hands are of course having a final practice at the same time. Finally, one is brave enough and K...
