WC Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hello Everyone, I'm not really a new member, but haven't been on here for so long that I thought it would be appropriate to reintroduce myself. I first joined back in 2018. Throughout that year I purchased several doll houses from my local antique mall and tried my hand at rehab. I also purchased several of the vintage tin doll houses and collected the plastic furniture for them. I found a Beacon Hill at an estate sale and started to rehab it and then tried my first new build - the Orchid. The walls and floor of that build became badly warped so I abandoned that project. Then life and work got in the way. All the doll houses had to go - well, not quite. I kept one of the tin houses and the one house that started it all - an Ashley that I rescued from the antique mall. Fast forward to now. With all the things going on in today's world, I was feeling at loose ends. I needed something besides work to occupy me. I do a bit of knitting, but that wasn't really satisfying. I was at Hobby Lobby buying some yarn, when I wandered towards the back corner where my local HL keeps the doll houses and accessories. Yes, you guessed correctly. A RGT Alison Jr. kit came home with me. So, I'm back..... . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medieval Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I noticed working on dollhouse comes in spurts for a lot of people. For me is was a summer break due to heat upstairs (no AC) and gardening and canning. Some people it's from life circumstances. But either way people seem to find their way back. Happy building!
