Aneliz Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I'm glad I discovered this forum. It seems to have a lot of nice people and good information! Just wanted to introduce myself. I have loved miniatures since I was a kid. My first dollhouse was the RGT "Peaches and Cream," which was made for me with love by my mom when I was seven. It was never decorated or even painted, but I love it. (A few years later, my younger sister got the Cherrydale...painted pink and white...hers looked nicer, but I never wanted to trade in my dollhouse's rough look, because that's the way it had always been.) I still have that dollhouse and all its wonderful furniture, though everything's in storage in the basement right now. A few years ago, I got a basic roombox kit and, with my husband's help, turned it into a toy shop. (I love toys and children's books!) This was a major achievement for me, as I don't consider myself very handy with tools. (Thank goodness my husband is! We're a good team!) In a short space of time, I amassed several more kits...the Shadybrook Cabin, the Glencroft, and the General Store, which I am going to turn into a Hallmark store someday. They've all just sat there under the workbench for a couple years, but now...we have a reason to tackle the first project! The Shadybrook Cabin is underway, being constructed as a special gift for my parents, who celebrate their 30th anniversary in a few months. They have a real cabin in Colorado, so we are making this a tribute to the real thing. So far, so good...some glue is drying as I type this, and we'll start fitting the walls together later! Well, that's a really longwinded explanation of my interest in miniatures and why I'm here! I'm off to read more of your insights now and look at some great pictures...
