miss_maya Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Well, since I just won my first Dollhouse on e-bay, I figured I would come on over and introduce myself. My name is Maya, I'm 23 years old, and I'm from Canada. I'm pretty new to all this Miniature stuff, so bear with me, lol. I had a dollhouse when I was young, one that my Mom bought for me from a local Craft sale. I used it forever, and refused to sell it when we moved houses about 5 years ago. I've recently brought it up from the basement and do hope to someday work on it some more. It's not a prefect scale size, and seems a bit small, so I figured I would be better off starting something much smaller and easier to do. So, I just won an auction for the Tiffani House, which I think might be from Greenleaf, but I'm not sure. I figure it's small, so even if I hate doing Miniatures, I won't have wasted too much money. And if I love it (which I'm sure I will) then I'll have a nice smaller house to work on before investing in something larger. I have an aspiration to own a Harrison one day soon; something about it just makes me wanna buy one right now! So, yeah, just thought i would come and introduce myself!

havanaholly Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Welcome, Maya, to the "little" family here. If you love your dollhouse I don''t see how you could hate minis (!), and if you have any questions about the building or rehabbing processes that you can't find answers with the "Search" feature, ask away!

sommerstern7 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi Maya ! And Welcome to the forum . Your doll house sounds wonderful! I too havr my childhood dollhouse--it IS the Harrison. I started to decorate the interior last summer after the exterior was finished. I don't think I will ever be done. I have also done the Orchid (it actually sits on top of my Harrison which is on a new turntable base that adds a basement to the already huge mansion) It is amazing to see just how enormous the Harrison actually is and how big the rooms are! "Harry" is posted in my gallery which I haven't updated forever because I need my husband's help (I am a computer idiot), but I have actually divided up the attic since the pix were taken and plan on adding a butler's pantry room to the sprawling kitchen. I think that will actually give me 15 rooms including my basement/game room addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
