The Lundby Gothenburg - Göteburg...

the last time. The home of the Lundbys is completely furnished since a long time and so I wanted to make a last post to show this lovely house and its inhabitants:

I really had a lot fun with this house and also with my Lundby family, but now the time has come to say adieu and make other people happy :) If you are interested check my *bay!

There are a few more nice pictures of this fanatstic Gothenburg at my flickr - Enjoy!

Hugs, yours Nicola

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...

Greets, yours Nicola

Caco, Lundby and Bodo Hennig

I made a clear out at my doll house closet lately (needed more space for the Blythe clothes and deco ;D) and so there are a few more lovely Caco dollhouse dolls, Lundby furniture and a tiny collection of Hennig dishes at ebay!

Don´t miss it :) Thank you!

It was not easy to let these cute little Caco dolls go, because I really adore this small size (adults are 9,5 and children 6 cm). They are the perfect matching size to Lundy, Hanse and Barton dollhouses, but I had so many and so I just kept the ones living in my two left Lundby houses - I think that´s enough :)

Lundby Göteborg/Gothenburg 1975 - Part 2.

Today i´ll show you the second part of the Lundbom´s home - But sorry you will see nothing really new, if you know my Gotheburg/Göteburg fronm 1972/73 :) Both houses are to close to each other. Lundby changed the wallpaper during the three years and changed the blank coloured floors into floors with carpet. And they made some new items, but not so many... When I bought the house it included the same kitchen as Mrs. Lundby´s kitchen, decorated with some lovely Hennig & Lundby accessoires and an additional cool kitchen cupboard and i didn´t want to change anything:

Awwwww - i love, love, love the orange-70s-look of this kitchen!

Also the so called "Leksand diningroom" looks like the one in red you allready know... except the green lamp, which sure is not Lundby but I like it!

And like the Lundbys the Lundboms are real swedish people and they also have a Dala horse - Of course!!

Bertil loves to sit on the parlor bench at the evening, just thinking about this and that and to drink a good hot coffee in his special coffee mug!

And even the bathroom looks the same - Yellow with teak panels. But with a lovely mat Amy send to me as a christmas present :) (Thanks again my dear!!)

I hope you nonethe less enjoyed the little house tour?! The part with the bedroom and livingroom will be a bit more rich in variety - promised!

Have a nice weekend, yours Nicola

Tiny & cute things from the fair:

Sabrina & Sabine are very happy with all the toys I brought from the 1:12... I adore the tiny-tiny „The Very Hungry Caterpillar“ /"Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt" book (it was my favorite book when I was small). It´s made like the really book - you can read every page!

The guy on the right isn´t Mr Lundby in cooler clothes - I found him on the fair too and he will live in the 1975 Lundby Gothenburg...

Petra and I planned to swap at the fair and she brought a bag full of treasures with her... aaaand I forgot mine at home! But I had to take Carry and Petra chose some of the furniture I once displayed at Furniture and Antiques. Thanks to the Internet it was no problem :)

Carry is a lovely old Caco doll and I first fell in love with her when I saw her at Petra´s blog! When I was small I always used my Mum´s old Caco dolls as dolls for the Käthe Kruse dolls, because to my mind they look like small K. Kruse dolls!

Perfect - isn´t it?! And because I don´t have a dollshouse in Carry´s size she now lives with all my Käthe Kruse dolls in my dolls showcase.

*Nicola

The Käthe Kruse Thumbelinas are both from 1977 - She´s called Margit & his name is Guido. The rocking chair is from Monchichi also from the 70s. The wooden bed is from my childhood. My parents once brought it along for me when they went for a hike without Andrea & me. The baby is from my childhood too and I think it´s ARI.

Lundby Göteborg/Gothenburg, 1970 - Part 3.

Third and last part of the Lundgren´s Gothenburg house tour:

Meanwhile Greta did the dishes Konrad layed the table for the afternoon tea at the lovely empire dinigroom...

At this part of the house you can see that someone played with it before. The stylish staircase with the wooden banister was fixed with silicone and the varnish of the doors & frames of the house looks a bit used, too.

Greta: "Honey, why did you forget the cups, we can´t have tea without cups..."

Konrad:"Oh, sorry... (Thinks: Women! You can do what you want something is always wrong...)

The entrance...


and the bathroom - which is nearly the same as in the Gothenburg of the Lundby´s, but with blue tiles and made in one piece. The toilet is hidden behind the wardrobe-piece.

The hallway piece has a little light at the top of the mirror, but Greta & Konrad still need a mirror and light for the bathroom. They also want some paintings for the diningroom and they would like some carpets for both rooms, too.

Credits: All furniture are Lundby (as usual ;D). The lamps and the mirror at the dinigroom are Lundby, too. The little pinguins are from my granny´s treasure chest. The tea service (without cups and plates - poor Konrad!) is from my mum´s doll´s house. The cake is from "fimozauber" and is made from the same recipe like this cake here :). The owl is one of the first tiny gifts they had in the "kinder surprice eggs" in the 7os and was a fleamarket find. The small coathangers are Bodo Hennig. They came with my "new" Gothenburg from 1975 and were perfect for the hallway piece.
Have a nice weekend, yours Nicola

Lundby Göteborg/Gothenburg, 1970 - Part 1.

Do you remember Greta & Konrad Lundgren, the owners of "Furniture & Antiques"? They moved into a Lundby Gothenburg I gave myself as a christmas present last year.

I bought the empty house just with two lamps & a mirror in it. It took a while until I got all the furniture I wanted, because i looked for those who would emphasize the nordic style of the blue floor and the light wallpaper. Fortunately Greta & Konrad run the shop :)...

Here you can see them enjoying the evening after work in their cozy livingroom.

They are talking about their new neighbours who bought the Gothenburg in their street, next to the Lundby´s house. Greta wonders if they will need some furniture and if they will come to the shop...

Konrad is a real music fan, he likes to play the piano and loves his new/old gramophone he bought yesterday from a costumer. So he listens kindly to Greta, but is also thinking about the gramophone and if he has some records for it...

To be continued...

I dated this house exactly to 1970, because of the wooden banister, the light wallpaper they used at the end 60s and the door to the entrance & bathroom. The earlier houses had no door - just a passage without a door and they changed it in 1970.

Credits: All furniture are Lundby, the most accessoires like lamps and the plant & telephone, too. The painting with the ship is the one I bought at "Tukadu", the little bird on the shelf is Wendt & Kühn and I have it since I am a little child. The gramophone is a fleamarket find, but it could be Lundby, they made some like these in the 80s. The cute felt pillows were a gift from carola from carolas-dollshouses.com. The bottle of sparkling wine is Hennig and maybe the glasses, too?!

And if you wonder why I´m still here writing posts... I decided not to be operated and to try some alternative therapies. I hope it´ll work!

I´m wishing you a wonderful "first of may weekend", yours Nicola

Veränderungen... Changes

angefangen hat es hier ja mit käthe kruse puppen. nun habe ich aber festgestellt, dass dieses thema allein vielleicht doch zu speziell ist?! denn ich mag ja nicht nur käthe kruse puppen, sondern auch noch andere püppchen, alte kinderbücher und die aufmerksamen leser unter euch haben es ja sicher schon wahrgenommen, ich habe meine leidenschaft für puppenstuben & puppenhäuser wiederentdeckt! momentan noch schwerpunktmäßig lundby...

i started this blog just with käthe kruse dolls. now i think that´s to special?! i also like other dollies, vintage childrens books and newly i rediscovered my love for dollhouses - mostly lundby at the moment...



familie lundby ende mai wiederzuentdecken und ihnen zum neuen haus zu verhelfen, hat mir soviel freude gemacht, dass fam. lundby ein thema sein wird, zu dem ich immer wieder schreiben möchte.

it was so much fun to rediscover family lundby at the end of may and to offer them a new home. i´m sure fam. lundby will be a topic to which i´ll write again and again.



diese süßen alten möbelchen gab es neulich bei uns im zentrallager und wer weiß, was sie noch für geschichten bereit halten?! da kommt also bestimmt noch mehr zum thema puppenstube & puppenhaus. :)

i found these cute vintage furniture recently at our charity shop and who knows what kind of stories they will bring? there will be much more to write about. :)

so wird nun aus dem blog: "püppilottchens kruse puppen" hiermit "püppilottchens spielzeug-blog"... ich hoffe euch gefällt´s und ihr habt weiterhin genauso viel spaß an meinem spielzeug & kinderkram, wie ich?!

thus becomes now from blog: " püppilottchens kruse dolls" hereby " püppilottchens toy-blog" … I hope you like it and you have further just as much fun at my toy & child stuff, like i have?!

lg, eure nicola - bye-bye, yours nicola

edit: i started to write the text also in english - thanks for reminding, oese/petra and welcome as reader number seven here at my blog!!
