Patty bought this dollhouse from an Antique Store in phoenix. When she bought it, it was unfurnished and in bad shape. It is from the 1930's, and it had been redone in bright colors. Patty rebuilt and painted the whole thing, and then furnished it. It is wired for electricity, but she has never been able to get it to work.

The bookcase was a gift from her brother Ralph, and is from the 30's or 40's.
All of the dolls inside are antiques.
All the paintings are handpainted oil paintings from an Antique Store.

Maker: Madame Alexander

This doll was from her childhood. She received it around 1960. Not the original wig, because the original wig was cut by her mother to make a Mary, Joseph & Jesus set.

The best part about the Christmas she received this doll, was when she received it, her mother had also handmade a full wardrobe for her. The Antique robe was a gift from her Grandmother Babbitt.

The canister set is from Germany. The gravy boat from Czechoslovakia. The cream & sugar set is vintage. The blue & white ceramics are from London.
