Hallowell Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 It seems to me that lately in my area there has been an abundance of dollhouses. Just tonite while driving home from work I noticed a vintage dollhouse in an antique shop window just across from my house. I checked it out and decided to pass on it even though it was cute. Then just a few minutes ago I had a knock at the front door, it was an elderly gentleman who asked me if I was the dollhouse guy. Well he had a vintage house in the back of his van that he was selling for his church. It was also cute but I passed on this one also. I'm hoping that with this trend I run across that treasure that we all look for, but I'm willing to wait. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minifan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I think there's something in the air!!! I've been seeing an abundance lately too...but I just chalked it up to it being Christmas time and a gift that all girls want, I've even seen more in the aisles at Toys R Us that were never there before...(we were watching the Santa Clause 3 last night and at the very end there is a baby blue finished Vermont Farmhouse Jr.), my husband was like "no way you saw that!" sure enough the rewind on Comcast showed it in all it's 2.2 second glory!!!

LLyn M. Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Ha! I haven't had people knocking down my door,but I have realised that when I watch Tv now I'm checking out the types of houses-the siding-the style,colors,layouts- stuff I never noted before! I love it!! :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I just saw a dollhouse being moved in some Christmas commercial on tv. I never noticed them before. I also saw one in a house in a movie. I never see dollhouses for sale or anywhere around here at all. There must be dollhouse elves snatching them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I can't look either. I even passed on a trip to the dh shop last weekend.(DH CHECKED TO SEE IF I WAS RUNNING A FEVER)lol I have to finish the Cranberry, rehab the Allison, build the Taft, build the Micheal's house Fairy cottage, and also have the 1/2 scale Country House awaiting. Of course, the one thing about dh kits, they don't go bad if it takes awhile to get to them. I just couldn't handle all the crying noises they would make, if I were to buy more right now...and since I can't trust myself not to buy more, I gotta stay away from anywhere they may be lurking...just waiting to get attached to me, and follow me home. It's not even safe to go browsing in the GL store, 'cause I still have this notion that the Taft wants to be bashed with another house to accommodate a family that will run the store, living upstairs, or bebind it....

Nileke Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Lol, Greg 'the dollhouse guy'! So very true. :yes: Just as well I don't have that reputation, because I don't even have any space left to even store anything. There are stacked boxes everywhere on the floor, and my 2 house kits are on the floor behind my bed. Is there a particular vintage house you're hoping for, Greg? I'm becoming more interested in vintage houses myself, since I'm going to pick up a vintage Danish house (30+ yrs) somewhere next week.

havanaholly Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 It doesn't hurt that Greg's official, ever since he & his little houses were featured in a magazine article! If you're going to be a dh celeb, I guess you have to come to expect these things!lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hi Marianne :yes: I think one of the dreamhouses that I so want to run into is the Seaside Villa from Norm's Dollhouses. It's not vintage but it just has a qaulity that I like. I am also still looking for that perfect sell my soul vintage house that I know is out there somewhere. :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenannediva Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Greg, Norm's Dollhouse is back producing their own line of houses, including the Seaside Villa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thanx Valerie :yes: I heard that they stopped making the Seaside Villa, so good to know it's back again. I'm gonna check Norm's site now. :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Soon you'll find orphaned dollhouses swaddled and on your doorstep.<snort, cackle> People are already bringing their their dh "children" trying to sell them! Greg, you & Russ may need to make a sign for the house: "Foundling Dollhouse Home". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
