I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving. Ours was very nice — and very busy. I spent Friday through Sunday working at my new SoNo Market Place stall. It was great fun, especially because all of my favorite friends and local patrons stopped by to say hello and wish me well.
This weekend is the marketplace's official grand opening. There will be all sorts of festivities — from a ribbon cutting and VIP reception, to carolers, face painting, a magic show and even a visit from Santa himself. To add a little holiday sparkle to my booth, I have a very special item I'll be bringing in. This vintage dollhouse!
Isn't it adorable? This handmade abode is 28 inches tall and sports an exaggerated peaked roof and three stories. I just love how its little green shutters open and close on every window.
I spent this rainy afternoon making a tiny wreath out of adds and ends I found in my studio's supply closet. I also added tiny white lights in each window which give this charming structure a warm glow.
I think this darling house will feel right at home in my SoNo booth. Don't you?

This is the cutest little dollhouse! Love it! I wish I lived near your shop!

So adorable! I love the lights in the windows -- reminds me of the electric candles my mother always put in our windows at Christmastime. I bet it won't stay in your booth for long!
How exciting about the ribbon cutting and all!

I found it at a consignment store in my area. It had been in the consignor's family for years and years!

Adorable! Where did you find it?
It's like a storybook cottage.

Susan that is the cutest doll house. You really dressed it up for the holidays. I love the shutters, the way they open up.
My doll house has shutters but they don't
open and close. My roof isn't that steep either.:( I bet you sell that quickly!
