Lundby, Jean, Käthe Kruse... vintage toys...

I made another clean out in my toy boxes and found a lot nice treasures which are not any longer at ebay:..

Thanks a lot !! :) Great deals!

Lundby dollhouse dolls from the 70s, nice vintage cars, the Lundby bike, a sweet caco baby, Polly Pocket things which go nice together with Lundby or other 1 :18 sized dollhouses, a very shabby chic little vanity/washstand in perfect size for Käthe Kruse Däumlinchen dolls and much more...

Petra Wohnhaus, 70er Jahre - The Petra house from the 70s

Recently I found this kind of dollshouse on a fleamarket and because of the nice price it took it with me and wanted to put it into my Dawanda-Shop...

Petra was the german equivalent of the well known Barbie doll. You can deflate the inflatable furnitures and can fold the house up to put all the things together in the flat cardbox. These kind of inflatable play things were very populare in my 70s childhood. Plastic-fantastic and dazzling colours that´s what I grew up with!

But... all the time I looked at it I thought: "It´s to cool to give it away..." Awww - look at these typical 70s details printed at the walls!! I´m sure I´ll make one of these pillows with traffic signs in dollhouse size someday! I´m a kind of hoarder as you surely all know and can´t part from things I like (even if I don´t know why ;D )

And there is one fact you also can´t ignore - it´s way to big for Lundby dolls and I don´t have any Barbie to fit in. (And I´ll never get one!!)

So time past by and the house slept its deep sleep...

until I fell into my BJD-love and ordered the Secretdoll, picture doll, Person 15! She has the perfect size (19 cm) and I guess it will be fun to let her "live" in this house :)

So the moral of this story is: Always keep things which are to cool to give them away ;D

Edit: Unfortunately the Secretdoll Persons are to small... Now I hope that it will be the right size for my incoming Blythe clone & future Blythes ... We will see :)



Have a nice weekend, yours Nicola

1:12 Soest

Yesterday Petra/Oese and me met at the 1:12 fair at Soest...



For me it was the first time I visited a miniature fair and I was absolutely overwhelmed by all the impressions!



There wasn´t nothing you couldn´t get in a small version and I was very glad I´m so focused on Lundby and things in 1:16 or 1:18 scale, because otherwise I could have bought much more than I did... *phew*

So I watched Petra while she decided what stylish chair or daybed she would like to buy at www.hetbehoudenhuis.nl...

was fascinated by all the things some people make, like fimo food or mini porcelain dolls and learned a lot about the miniworld in 1:12, I never could imagine before!

I bought some tiny things which will go for my Lundby houses too I´ll show you in another post...

If you like and take a look at the list of sellers here at the 1:12 page you´ll find some delightful stores and items!

AND it was also great to meet Petra in real life! We knew each other a bit from several phonecalls and had a lot of fun on our first little blogger-meeting!!

Yours, Nicola

Oh, boy...

i really do need a rest! (Maybe on one of these stylish miniture chairs MC, from my Realitty send to me?! Thank you again, my dear!!)

...but i´m not kidding! Some of you already noticed, i have problems with my left shoulder since weeks and now, after spending hours at different medical offices, i have a diagnosis - I need an operation :/. It´s nothing really bad but it will not get better by itself. I have a fixed date for the beginning of may and because i have to do some things for my little business and I also need time to prepare everything for the upcoming time with just one "good" arm, i have to make a little break...

I´ll sure follow your posts and everything around here, but I guess it´ll take some time until I´ll write comments or posts.
