A Dream Come True

[asisteract]

I have wanted a dollhouse as far back as I can remember and my dream has finally come true. I mentioned it to people throughout my life but never did anyone ever agree to build one for me. Now at the age of 51 my sister, yes my sister has finally came through. Every since I was a small girl I have looked up to my sister. She was always there to help me with everything. When I would break a little chain necklace or a toy or anything I just knew that Teresa could fix it. I never dreamed that she would be the one to make me my very first dollhouse. She has worked very hard, sanding and fixing and gluing all the little pieces as I watch in amazement of what comes next. It is almost finished and I am in aw of this girl who can do anything. I will soon have my Beacon Hill all ready to pretty up and the dream of having a dollhouse all my life is soon to come true.

I love the Beacon Hill and all of it's ornate trim and would love to know the history of the real beacon hill. I have done research but can't seem to pinpoint the actual house. Does anyone know where or what I mean?

Thanks so much to all of you and to my sister Teresa for all her hard work and for giving an older lady a new reason to smile every day Hugs

Jenni, both you & Terry deserve to have houses to play with, even at your ages. So which house will Terry build for herself?

Oh, Jennifer! The Beacon Hill is well worth the wait! Your sister is a real champ! :thumb:

:welcome: to the forum. If you make 5 posts, you'll be eligible for a Gallery and can open an album to share photos of your house. We love eye candy.

Have you been collecting furnishings for it or will that be fun for you now?

I recall someone here posting a photo of the original (real) Beacon Hill but can't recall who. I'm sure someone with a better memory than mine will find the link.

That's an interesting house, Hollly, but not the one I'm thinking of. There is one that looks just like the GL Beacon Hill.

That's so special Jennifer I hope that you have many enjoyable hours furnishing your Beacon Hill! Pictures! :-)

The haunted house at Disneyland or Disney World looks EXACTLY like the BH, but it's not the BH. There has been much speculation over the years about which house this was based on. I'm pretty sure GL once said it's a combo of a few real life houses.

Welcome Jennifer, and thanks for letting us know how your dream came true. I can relate to how you are feeling, so I am excited too. Not only will you have a most wonderful dollhouse, but you will be getting a special gift from your sister as well.

Jennifer, what a lovely gift from your sister! I'm sure you'll have a great deal of enjoyment in decorating and redecorating the house for years to come!
