claire Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hello. I like to introduce myself. I'm Claire, I'm 59 years old, married, two boy of 16 and 13, so one can call me a "young" mother. I have a job as secretary at the University of the city where I live. I work in the science department. I like things that are out of proportion either small, or big. Since I was about 10 years of age I was completely taken by the dollshouse in the museum of my town, Utrecht. And I wanted to build such a house when I was with retirement and I started to collect usefull books and things for that time. Then I discovered that you don't have to be retired to work on a dollshouse. So then I became the onwer of The Arthur (birthday gift from my husband!!!). It took me a long time to make it into a house, but now it is standing, but it is by no means finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claire Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Thank you all for your warm welcome. And Traci, if you father happens to travel to Utrecht we will welcome him to our house... I'm flattered that you like the colour of my Arthur. I found that was one of the most difficult things about it. Now I'm struggeling to fit electricity, because at first I decided that that was too difficult for me... And now I have allready put wallpaper and flooring in!!! My next project is waiting in the attic. It is a dollshouse from a Dutch dollshouse shop http://www.destolp.com/ It is a bit bigger than The Arthur, but the problem of space I will tackle later Soon I will have enough posts to make my own gallery and than you will be able to see more of my Arhur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
