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 :)

The Lundby swimmingpool - Das Lundby Schwimmbecken

When I was small I dreamend of a small Lundby Village with all Lundby things I always saw in the shop window of our local toyshop...

I dreamend that my dolls would have a swimming pool (like my best friend Friederike had in her real garden)...

Do you wanna jump into the cool water?! I would like to, but the pool is even to small for one of my feet ;D

It´s just a little childhood dream come true... (by the way, the pool came with the 1975 Gothenburg and was one of the things I watched so often at eb** and I couldn´t afford normaly)

I´m wishing you a sunny summer - maybe with a pool in your (Lundby) garden :) *Nicola

P. S.: One good advice: Never fill water in your vintage Lundby pool like I did! I don´t know if it never was made for filling water in it or if it became leak through the years?! Anyway after the photo shooting there was water everywhere and I had to dry it in the sun. Now it is dry again, but also has some water markings on it :( ... I thought it was a toy *argh*!!!

There´s a light....

During the last days I "played a bit Hans-Herman" and fixed all my Lundby lamps to light my houses.

Some of these came with the Lundby Gothenburg /Lundby Götheborg, I bought for Family Lundby last summer.

Some others came with furniture & things i bought on eb** or tra**ra. I was realy happy there was this little pack of plugs through the Lundby things from my childhood, because a lot of the lamps from the gothenburg were without plugs. The yellow lamp above is interesting, too. I bought it in the original package and all looks like Lundby, but as you can see, there is "Lillbo" written on it. Is "Lillbo" the same like "Lundby"? If anybody can tell me more about "Lillbo" I would be very happy.

I don´t know if all lamps are original Lundby, but i think the most are. Now, i have to decide which lamp should be in which house in the end... I have to do a little research in pepe´s old catalogues, because i´m a real nitpicker and i want the houses with the lamps from the right period :)

And could anybody please tell me why Lundby made these very practical little retaining pins on the ceilings of the Gothenburgs and stopped it when they produced the Stockholm??!!! I bought my Stockholm without any marks from stuck on lamps on the ceiling, because the former owner had no light in the house. And now I should start to stick lamps on the ceiling :O... I don´t know if I can do this... How do you stick your lamps on the ceilings?
