Rebecca's Collections: April 2014

http://rebeccascollections.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Tell Laura I Love Her . I recently bought two fantastic catalogues on Australian ebay, from a Sydney toy shop called Hoffnung's. They are from 1968 and 1969, and as well as the toy shop's list of stock, prices, and some black and white illustrations, they both have bound into them various manufacturers' catalogues! Both have Bestoys catalogues! The Laura dolls house is in both years. You may remember that when I showed my Bestoys Bambolina dolls house. Here is the one from 1968:.

Rebecca's Collections: February 2014

Friday, February 21, 2014. Listed on Australian ebay recently was this copy of The Australian Woman's Mirror. With the tantalising headline "Special in this issue, Princess Betty's Doll's House - A Gift Toy". The seller was quick to point out that, 80 years after publication, it was unlikely that this gift would still be available . but I am always looking out for descriptions and especially illustrations of dolls houses in old periodicals, and I was not disappointed with this one. The article begins,.

Rebecca's Collections: May 2013

http://rebeccascollections.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 24, 2013. Just before Easter, I received two dolls houses which I had bought from an Australian collector who lives in northern New South Wales. She is downsizing her real house, and therefore also downsizing her collection. Here is one of the houses. The front of the house comes off - it's held in place by the two little clips at the top, the pieces of wood on the inside of the front, and a hook at one side. The curtains are all original - they were made by Diana's grandmother. Anne told me ...

Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Sherry and Pepper have a party. Pepper and Sherry are having a party. Things look a bit strained, though, and Sunny and Mandy don't seem very comfortable . Are Pepper and Sherry arguing? Or are they just talking to some of the girls in the other rooms? Lacey is feeling a bit off colour, and is staying in bed. Heather and Libby are in the kitchen finding some food . Perhaps some drinks would help make the party livelier, too? Why don't you get it cut short, like mine? Never mind, I...

Tuesday, April 28, 2015. A Crazy House Lady. I love cats, but don't qualify as a crazy cat lady - I only have one cat now, two until late last year . but a crazy dolls house lady, yep, I definitely qualify for that! I found the house frame at Recycling Works in Annandale, where I've previously found dolls houses. In Bathurst, I had another house waiting for me, which is so big I have no idea where I'm going to put it! For the moment, it's still in the garage on the pallet it was delivered on -. This hous...

Rebecca's Collections: August 2013

Saturday, August 24, 2013. Hansa, not Hanse. At the end of last year, when I was preparing Valérie Braun's. Article for Dolls Houses Past and Present about Hanse and Lisa dolls houses from Denmark. I thought I'd seen another Hanse house on Australian ebay. I did a bit of googling, and found that the house I'd been thinking of was actually made by an Australian company called Hansa! I was able to buy one earlier this year, and here it is:. The living room, which shows more details through the windows:.

Saturday, February 21, 2015. A flower transfer house from Victoria. I've seen several houses listed on ebay in Victoria which had transfers - or decals - decorating the otherwise fairly plain front. I definitely wanted to add at least one to my collection, and when this popped up late last year, I was able to buy it. The seller was able to tell me that her mother-in-law had bought the house. The side walls continue up to the peak of the roof - there is no ceiling. On the upper floor. When I looked throug...
