The Christmas Dolls House

The Christmas Dollshouse

What a great Christmas present for a three year old. I struck it lucky back in the summer and found this dollhouse at a local car boot for just £7! It was 'beautifully' decorated with grubby wallpaper and thick red carpet so I stripped that all out and sanded down the inside. I scoured ebay for furniture (try searching for vintage dolls house) and managed to find nearly everything relatively cheap apart from a cooker which is a future goal. The tiny moomin mugs are actually christmas decorations, the bathroom set was found by lovely Lisa in a Barcelona fleamarket and the bunting was from Tiger for just £1. In these photos we were playing with penguin but the house is actually the perfect mouse house... more on that another day. 

All Aboard Train Puzzle

Choo Choo! All aboard the Marc Boutavant train puzzle! This has to be the most popular of Stevie's second birthday pressies (thank you Lizzie, Ad and Arlo) It's double sided so there are countless ways to put it together and there is so much detail to see and talk about in every beautifully drawn carriage.
