Just stopping by to say hi! All is well in Houston. We haven't been hit very hard here, and I have been going to work since we are considered an essential business. Haven't got to work on mini's since right before this pandemic I decided to retire(not happened yet) and move to my house in SC. So, I had packed up the craft room in preparation for the move. Now, since moving has been put on hold for an indefinite time, I might just have to unpack it and get back to work on the Elliott Bay until life settles back down. So happy to see everyone!

So glad the site is back up. It's been a lonely few weeks. Can't wait to hear what everyone has been up to during the pandemic. I have still been working the whole time. Ugh!!!! We are considered an essential business, but not sure that is really the case now, as we support the oilfield industry and you all know how that's going at the moment.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are no dollhouse stores that I know of in Texas. The Dallas Miniature show is held in Dallas every year and a couple of members from here and I attend that show. They have great classes several days before the show and then the show on Saturday and Sunday. This years dates are June 24th thru the 28th. It's a great show. and you should definitely plan to go if you can.

Hi SBL, I live in Houston. Where are you located in Texas? I also built the Beacon Hill. It was my first build and I learned so much about dollhouse construction. I put lighting in mine too and for the first one it's was a trial in patience for sure.

Oh, my gosh does this bring back some family memories. My grandmother lived in one of these until she moved to assisted living. Hers was brown and white on the outside. The inside pictures are identical to hers. What a great project and can wait to follow along in your journey to finishing the trailer. Thanks for the memories!
