The number of times I said "Oh, wow!" is innumerable! I gasped when you opened the attic. I was born in England and Paddington is still one of my favorites , too.
Did you see my Paddington Bear? 🐻 DADDY Bought me that small one for the dollhouse and a Big one for me to sleep with! I LOVE PADDINGTON BEAR! MY NICKNAME FOR HIM WAS "PAD"🤭☺️😀💖🐻
I’ve been to Paddington Station in London & it is such fun to shop there! There’s a huge statue of him there, too. I need to find a mini of him like you have. I used to have a stack of Paddinton postcards, but I think they were left behind in my “2 year” cross country move to Los Angeles 20 years ago 😂
What a fantastic memories your Dad has given you. Prayers for for your Dad. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful dollhouse
Thank You So much for your Kind words! YES, My Daddy was a Great Man! I am So Grateful that He was My FATHER! Even though he's gone what he gave Me is Always with Me ❤️🩹. I appreciate you for being here and for watching ❤️☺️
God Bless your Dear Father. He raised a lovely daughter. I adore your painted 3D stairs in the attic. Well done.
Thank you so much!
My father passed away in February 2020. I wanted to memorialize him. I suddenly found dollhouses. I built a dollhouse dedicated to him. He was a jack of all trades. I know in my heart, if he was alive today, he would of loved what I'm doing. He would of been part of it all. Thank you for sharing your videos. And of course, the beautiful relationship you had with your Dad. I thank God, I had that with my Dad too. I was blessed. And still, am. I feel he guided me to miniatures as a way to heal and find much happiness in a lifelong joy. Miniatures. I'm going to be a grandmother soon. I can't wait to pass on the minature legacy.
Your post resonates with me, as I am buying items to suit a house that I am planning, based on my father's home in Greece. He died quite young in 1966, and I am now a senior citizen.
@@maroulio2067 It's such a unique opportunity. I hope you enjoy and makes you happy.
Thank you so very much!
I'm so Sorry for your loss. Planning a dollhouse and hand selecting items is so therapeutic! I believe dollhouses are an excellent way to work through emotions.I am looking forward to hearing more about how you re-create your father's home in miniature. Please keep me posted , i hope maybe you can share pictures.
I am So sorry to hear about you losing you Dad. And so recently as well. Yes believe fathers and daughters have a special connection. It took me years for me to realize how wonderful and precious our relationship is. Sometimes when you have something you don't realize how special it is. Yes miniatures are a LIFE Long JOY! Congratulations on becoming a GRANDMOTHER! I Believe My life as GRANNY is AWESOME!!!
How wonderful, the connection you shared with your father. You are very very lucky. To be able to memorialize it in a tangible way is even better! This is a wonderful house, filled with memories that will never dim. The Jewish people say that as long as anyone remembers you, you will live forever. I love that.
Thank you so for sharing your beautiful dolls house. It is made more precious because every piece has its own story. I think your dollhouse is the most special I have seen. You’re not aiming to make it perfect and have your dolls living in a palace. Instead it is real and honest and I love it. Many blessings to you.
Thank you so much! That is such a BEAUTIFUL WAY TO SAY IT! MY Dollhouse is REAL and HONEST! That made me smile, thanks again!
LOVE the attic floor stairs!
Thank You 😊
Your Dad sounds so wonderful, this dollhouse forged a deep link between you two and the fact he encouraged your imagination and your artistic side is truly wonderful, I wish more parents were like this to their children. You looked lovely standing by that huge dollhouse! Your Dad's attic room is just perfection! Oh wow! Thats genius the optical illusion! It even looks like light coming from the floor below!
Thank You ANNE 😊! I Miss Him SO Dearly ❤️ He encouraged me to start this channel! He was my Biggest FAN!!! HE WAS CHEERING when I had 8 Subscribers 🥹🥲! He was an AWESOME FATHER! HE WAS Truly A KID at HEART🎈!When he played with me and my Dolls and made things for the dollhouse it was as much fun for him, as it was for Me! 😀 I didn't realize that until I was an adult😊. I'm glad you like his room in My Original Dollhouse. I'm going to do a similar illusion in the Rooming House Attic! Video coming soon thank you for watching! I truly enjoy your comments and feedback! ❤️☺️
I want to tell your dad thank you. Thank you for showing your daughter the love, respect, stability, and comfort that art and imagination can bring, no matter what age we are. Thank you, thank you so much
I LOVE the idea of painting those stairs. What a great thing to do. Also it is so sweet that he gave you this house and you made a room for him in that same dollhouse and put items he made for you in it. So lovely. I subscribed to that same House of Miniatures also. I collected 50 of them which I did not get to build for 25 years. And then I made them all!
Thank You! I had to find a work around for the lack of access to the attic. The parents and the parlor have " false doors" that access the "imaginary back hallway"!🤭😊 Stairs take up so much space in Dollhouses! YES I had to create a Forever Bedroom for DADDY, because his Gift is still bringing me Joy for over 40 years🥹🥲. Thank you for being here ❤️
YES HOUSE of Miniatures was my foundation to miniature builds. Do you remember Real Life kits? Those Kits had all the pieces for all furniture for 1 room in one box! I ruined so many of those!🤭☺️ THOSE kits are priceless to ME! That is Great you finally got a chance to build them ALL!!!!☺️😄
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 My first dollhouse project was with my mom. She has been gone many years now, but I still think of her often while doing the work on my houses. Thanks, mom, for introducing me to the most wonderful hobby ever.
It was lovely to see some of your Dollhouse, Gretchen! My favorite was your Father's room in the attic, as many of the pieces had been made by your Father. What a lovely gift he gave you! Fathers are very special, aren't they? Thank you for sharing the dollhouse with us! God bless! ~Janet in Canada
Thank you so much for watching! Yes Father's are Great!
Awe! So sweet. Hi Dad!!
What wonderful memories you have from your childhood. So special that you and your father worked on this together. I liked hearing the stories of the pieces in your collection. Congratulations on 1000!!
Thank you Kim! I am So grateful for the memories! Doing this Tour is bringing My WHY into focus even more.Thank for watching!
I love the story of this. Your Dad is an amazing person who gifted you with lifelong joy and imagination when he gave you that dollhouse.
Thank you and YES Daddy is Amazing! He brought the Dolls to life! he would play with me with the Dolls give them "characters" and "Stories" and talk to me thru the Dolls, BUT "you have to be quiet and listen really closely because their voices are small too!"! SO , Yeah he definitely started something.Who knew it would last this long!LOLOLOLOL!
A beautiful house, with a wonderful back story. Thank you for sharing this, and may your dolls be forever happy in their little home xxx
THANK YOU ROBIN!!!😀💖SUCH KIND WORDS AND WARM WISHES!!!
I love you have a room for your dad ...that is exactly what I'm going to do in my granddaughters doll house's im making...grandma in the attic ..with her sewing machine and paints a work table ...and the kids floor the colourful floor I am also doing that ...I love it
I LOVE that you are finding inspiration in my work! That makes me so happy! HAVE FUN and make it uniquely yours!!!
Thank you for sharing such a personal story with us. The love you have for your father and his for you is so wonderful.
All the personal items you’ve put in his “room” are so sweet.
I pray you get many more years with him.
All the things you made when you were a child are well done. Your talent is natural and not learned. We are so lucky to have you sharing your talent with us.
Thank you Candace! I am enjoying So much sharing my Love of dollhouses and my special bond with my father. I've never had Dollhouse friends before . So its wonderful to be able to share regularly. Thank you for watching!!!!
Love the little black doll
Thank you 💗😊
Oh Gretchen this was just wonderful. I'm so touched by your warm, loving, childhood memories of working on this with your father. What an absolute blessing, thank you for sharing with us x
Glad you enjoyed it! I am so Grateful and so Glad i can finally share this with someone other than Daddy!
Oh, what a delightful video! Your original dollhouse is wonderful! Your sweet dad was and is such a central, loving part of your dollhouse and miniatures! How amazing and how special - for you both! His room in your dollhouse attic is so warm and one can feel his and your connection in it!
I’m excited to see more. Thank you for sharing! Kathleen
You are so Kind, thank you! Yes My Daddy is a Really Special Man! I'm Grateful He is My Father.
The little girls room is adorable. I love the flooring and how it makes the toys and wall paper stand out :) and the purple and pink rockers...GIRL, I begged my mother for years to let me paint my room and when I finally got to I picked pink and purple paints
YES I am a PURPLE and PINK Girl myself! My mother made me choose Yellow, for my room it was probably on sale. LOLOOLOL!
Please tell Little Gretchen I thought this was a beautiful video in every way. I can't wait to see more of her dolls house. ❤️
Thank You and I will tell her!❤️
Thank you for sharing the start of your journey. What a lovely dollhouse, and the stories behind the miniatures are so priceless. I'm glad your Dad encouraged you to begin your channel because you have so much inspiration to share, and not just creatively, but as a beautiful person 🤗
AWW Cassandra your comment brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for such a kind compliment! I'm just so grateful to be ab;e to share what I love with others that love it too!
I just love your house and yours and your father’s imagination!!! I know I’m seeing this video late but I hope your father is doing well!
Thank You so Much! I HE GAVE ME SOOO MUCH! Unfortunately DADDY passed December 14, 2022, but HE IS FOREVER IN MY HEART AND EVERYTHING I DO! THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!!!!❤️
I love to hear about your close relationship with your Daddy- it warms my heart! 🥰 You are very blessed to still have him close. You did a great job on your faux steps. They looked real until you zoomed in close. I have the same mini dollhouse, but I haven't painted the outside, just the floors. I bought it at our local miniature store back in the '80's, and over several months, as I could afford it out of my allowance, some diecast and resin furniture they carried, too. This video brings back many happy memories. :) I look forward to the rest of the tour!
Thank You Laura! It's cool to hear someone has a dollhouse like mine! OVER ALL these years I have Never seen another one. He told me he chose this style because it fit next to my bed in my room. I am So grateful for this house, doing this tour is bringing back so many wonderful memories! Thank so watching!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 My dollhouse was smaller, but It had a similar "feel." We definitely have some of the same accessories, though! I got my dollhouse in 1980, and continued to decorate it and play with it until the twins came along. As a mom of two newborns, I didn't even have time to sleep! 😄 Now that they're in college, though, I am having so much fun with miniatures again!
I love the painted staircase. That is such a brilliant idea for those who make dollhouse from bookcase or other furniture.
Thank You! I appreciate the Compliment! It was alot of fun doing it. I would love to re-create the concept in another project like in a Room box! I'm glad you think it's brilliant, that's encouraging! Thank you for watching!
I think Walgreens pharmacy photo departments can send old damaged photos off to restore them. It would be really neat if you had a little picture of little Gretchen in her dollhouse. Lol.
I LOVE THAT 💡 IDEA! THANK YOU!❤️
Aaaw Gretchen Thank You so much for sharing your miniature story with us... it is quite remarkable..I ❤ it! ...this was so nostalgic!! Hello 👋 Dad 🤗 ...You lived my childhood dream of having a miniature dollhouse. One of the reasons why I do it today 🥰 I absolutely adored the nolstalgia of this. Brought me back ....Lil' Gretchen was such a talented lil girl with miniature visions 💖💖 and very blessed to have such an encouraging and inspiring Dad to start her along her journey 🥰 My favorite exterior was the mint green!❤ I just loved how you painted the trimming...See ya next tour 😊
Thank you for watching! I am so grateful to have something so amazing, But was a little lonely in those days, for as much as I LOVED it I couldn't share it because NO ONE else I knew had a dollhouse or could even relate.... Daddy was my only dollhouse friend....except "the Dolls".LOLOLOLOL
What a great room for your dad. That table is beautiful!
Thank you SHARON! I'm really Happy about HIS ROOM, He was So tickled to see it when that Video 1st aired. I'm So Glad he saw it!
Beautiful rooms and many beautiful memories as well. Thank you for sharing 👍👏😍
Love the two little chairs, a way to keep your grandma’s memory. 🥰
Thank you! Yes always had them in a shelf in her kitchen when i was a little girl and I used to stare at them but she wouldn't let me play with them. When my grandmother passed my grandfather gave them to me. Yes Grandma, is everywhere because My dad was very close to her and MY daughter is an EXACT REPLICA of HER. Literally her TWIN!
What a wonderful tribute to your dad! Beautiful house! ❤️ 💙 💜
Thank you so much! Thank You for watching!
That was beautiful, thank you for sharing it all.
Thank you Kawigurl! For watching and i appreciate you feedback!!!
Again, your creativity is amazing! My father made a dollhouse for me from a kit in 1976! I'd love to share a picture of me getting it, similar to your picture. Enjoying your tours.😄
Thank you! I would Love to see your dollhouse! Email me: Littlegretchensworkshop@yahoo.com
Thank you for sharing these special memories. I can just envision you and your Daddy having so much fun creating this beautiful dollhouse. I loved the special room you made for your Daddy! It touched my heart. I look forward to part 2 of the tour!
Thank you So much ! Yes I have So many wonderful memories of me and Daddy in those days. In that picture I have on this video, is the 1st time he had seen it after I had completed renovation in 2020!. He was in tears....
Thank you for sharing, I was having a hard day,, air conditioner in car and home not working, fell and can hardly walk on that hurt knee, went to get blood work and arms all black and blue, need I say more, I thourally enjoyed how you explained everything, and how your dad was such a great part of your life, I truly appreciated all that, having had a no good step dad, I enjoyed you little story, looking forward to seeing more of you works, God bless you, you made my day..
I'm sorry to hear that you had such a rough day. I truly understand about falling I hurt my knee a few years ago and the memory of the pain makes me cringe. I pray that you have a speedy recovery and that your air is up a running again soon! I'm really glad my video added a bright spot to your long day! Yes i am very grateful for Daddy now, I was an adult before I truly appreciated him and what a great Dad he was.Thank You for sharing and watching today!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Thank you for your words, home air is now repaired, the rest will fall in to place, again can't wait to see your next post.
That is such a nice dollhouse especially for your first one sentimentally valued. I thought I was the only who won’t let the kids play with my dollhouse!
THANK YOU TAM! LOLOLOLOL! My Children knew MOM"s Dollhouse is not for PLAY PLAY! I would occasionally let them look in it, but they could never touch anything!LOLOLOL
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I heard that!!!
I just love your dad's room and the touching story connected to your dolls house! Your idea of redoing items to suit your vision is so refreshing, as many videos I see on miniatures and doll houses become pedantic and loose the innate charm of fantasy. I really like the idea of different scales and not restricting myself to all 1:12, for example. Maybe because I enjoyed reading "Alice in Wonderland" when I was young.
I actually would LOVE to do a Dollhouse with absolute disregard to scale! That would definitely be FUN!
wow, I grew up in Dearborn Heights and the car in your dad's room reminds me of trips to Greenfield Village. Thanks for the nostalgia!
YES YES YES! How Cool! That is near where the dollhouse store used to be on Michigan ave in Dearborn in the 1970's. Down the street from a store called JACOBSON"S
As soon as you opened the top and said it was your dads room, my eyes just welled up
Now I'm crying, I'm So sorry for your loss. I guess that's why I made him a room in my dollhouse,,,,so that no matter what I'll always be able to go to his room.....Yes there are some memories you wish you could just go back even if just for a moment. Hot Rods and Car Shows were such a common part of my childhood i used to get bored....now I would LOVE TO GO BACK to those days. Thank you for sharing!
Your trompe l’oeil of the imaginary stairs that go down is pure genius! And yes, I am going to copy it somewhere.
Thank you Christy! So glad you liked it! I love the idea of optical illusion!!!!
How lovely and enchanting! Now I know where you get so much of your talent from! What sweet memories you surely have. My dad was very talented too, and of course, loved cars. Also, I remember reading Paddington Bear to my children, he was definitely a favorite of ours. I've loved dollhouses since childhood. Long, long ago my uncle had built a scale model of Mt. Vernon, and I always made a beeline for the basement whenever I visited. It was on a big dining table down there, and it totally fascinated me! I remember peeking inside and seeing the furniture and rugs, and even the carpet on the stairs. Surely your children got a peek at your dollhouse, I'm sure they were fascinated as well! You did a wonderful job, right down to the painted stairs, you really got the perspective right on those. Thank you so much, can't wait for the next tour!
Thank You SO Much! Yes I have SO many Wonderful Childhood Memories with my Dad. Some of the most cherished are when he would Play Dolls with me. The Life Size Paddington Bear he gave me, he would make him TALK! He created a voice and would tell me in Paddington's voice Paddington's story. Daddy would also take me to musuem's in the area to see Dollhouses on Display. And everything i saw and asked for he assured me, We can MAKE that! ......So here I am!
Wow, that is so cool! My dad was a mechanic and truckdriver, so he also loved trucks. One of my very favorite memories is when he made a tiny town for me in my grandmother's garden plot, (before she had planted of course). He just took boxes and cut out doors and windows for the buildings, then scooped out the roads. I was totally enchanted! My mom loved dolls, my dad loved cars and trucks, so I had the best of both worlds growing up! Thank you for helping me to remember💕
Such a sweet house . You were so lucky to have such a beautiful house.I love your story ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! My Dollhouse has been a blessing to me My whole life! it's Crazy how His GIFT continues to GIVE even now..... Thank you!
Enjoyed the tour. Love the stories about your dad. He sounds like a very great dad and person.
Thank you for watching and I'm so glad you are enjoying it! Yes Daddy is a Great Father.
Hi Dad 💞💞💞
I love your dollhouse! You did a beautiful job on your dad’s room. I’m sure your dad loves it. And the girls room is so adorable ❤️I can’t wait to see what you did in the other rooms. I absolutely love your videos
Thank you so much! I'm So glad your enjoyed it!
Oh my goodness, everything is so cute!!! Thanks so much for sharing, can't wait for more! :)
You are so welcome! I;m so glad you enjoyed it!
Just beautiful :) have you thought of making a look a like doll of your dad ? What wonderful memories for you
Yes I have! Actually two od my men dolls are my father at different stages of his life. I may make a 3rd of him middle aged.The POP Doll is him and so the Grandpa doll is him too. Not an exact replica but my idea of him when i was making those dolls. Thank you for watching!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Beautiful
Brilliant idea with the stairs!
Thank you Donna! I had to figure out a way to explain access to the room without using up all my space. Many dollhouses have this issue. Staircases many times take up too much space and compromise decorating options. I feel the need to use a similar option in the house the Doll men are renovating.
Love, love the tour especially your dad’s room! Gosh I didn’t want this video to end, but now I’m so excited for part 2 🙂👍🏼
Yay! Thank you! Great! because i decided to post Part 2 today! Thank you for watching!
❤
What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing it with us. I am from Michigan too. (I LOVE your wonderful channel, personality and sweet laugh- you make my heart happy!!!) Wishing you great success with your You-tube adventures.
YAY! Another MICHIGAN GIRL! I truly Appreciate Your Kind Words, and Thank you for Your support!
Lovely tour Grechen, Love from Australia
Thanks for watching!
Hello Gretchen! I am new to your channel. Oh sweetie what a wonderful tribute to your Dad. I just loved his room. You are very creative to make all the things you do for your dollhouse. Your girls room is Adorable. You did a great job on those bunk beds.my granddaughter would go crazy over that color as it is her favorite color. You did and Amazing job on there floor. I would like to know where you get all the things for your dollhouse? I have a dollhouse my son and daughter in law gave me for Christmas a few years ago. All I could decorate was my front porch and the store went out of business. So the inside has nothing in it. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. 💕👭❣️
Hi Joan! WELCOME TO LITTLE GRETCHEN"S WORKSHOP!!! I am SO Grateful to have you as One of My PRECIOUS DOLLS! How Exciting to have a Dollhouse in need of Lovely things! So many of the things in My Original Dollhouse are really really old.(at least 40 years old) LOLOL! But there are many many things in that Dollhouse that I made and I do or will share on this channel. If there is something specific let me know via email.
great
Your dad sounds lovely and very interesting. I loved this tour and your story behind it all 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊 YES DADDY WAS THE BEST! I MISS HIM SO MUCH .... He's FOREVER CLOSE TO MY HEART with MINIATURES...💖🥹
Amazing!
Thank you!!!
Loved this video and I want more!!!! Also I just know your dad and grandma were such sweet people just like you.
Awwww Thank you! I Actually think they are sweeter!LOLOLOL!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I can relate lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😄 🤣 😂
Love your videos. I am mesmerized.
THANK YOU JANE!!! CHECK OUT MY PLAYLIST to see ALL the progress of the ROOMING HOUSE DOLLHOUSE 😊☺️💖 THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!!
I have a collection of House of Miniature furniture too. My mother collected the kits. I have started putting them together for my Huge thrifted dollhouse.
OH WOW Really!! That is SO Awesome! I Stalk EBAY for the pieces of the collection i don't Already have! They are some really great kits! Clean cuts, precise fit and easy to finish and customize. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your dollhouse! Sounds like you have Really Great find and furniture pieces to give you a GREAT start!!!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I have been collecting tiny things for the last 40 years, but I have never found the dollhouse that I wanted. I have purchased several Greenleaf kits over time, but none of them were what I wanted. I was even thinking of bashing them together. But then i saw this massive house in the junkier section of an antique shop. Luckily I was shopping with my best friend who has a truck, so I could get it home. It cost $50 and that was exactly what I had on me. After some research, I discovered that it is Greenleaf's "Garfield", the largest dollhouse they make. It needs a lot of work, but it is perfect. I went looking for TH-cam channels for ideas and help and that is how I found you. Your channel is by far and away the best one out there for sheer inventive genius and I love it.
Loved your video ❤❤😊
Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing this amazing dollhouse and your memories. I really appreciate what you said about creating illusions. I’m doing that in my house (made of cardboard and foam board) and I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one, lol. I’m a new sub and I love your channel!
HI Leslie! WELCOME TO LITTLE GRETCHEN'S WORKSHOP!So Glad you have Chosen to be One of My Precious DOLLS! I'm so glad you like what I said about creating "illusions"! Sometimes i think people take the FUN out of miniature making trying to be too exact! As a Child, it ONLY needed to make sense in My Imagination! I think many stop imagining and they lose the JOY of Childhood Fantasy which i believe is the CORE of Creativity! I LOVE the idea that Your dollhouse is make of Cardboard and foam board So easy to do additions and modifications, plus that's what I used to use before Daddy bought me My Original Dollhouse.Thank you for being here Leslie, I appreciate You for sharing!
I love this!! I was thinking about making some kind of tribute to my family. Probably a living room set up for Christmas. I like the idea of a room for your dad. My dad had an engineering degree and liked working on cars too. And boats, little ones. He had model car that used steam power. The attic is just precious. I noticed the floor in the girls room right away. I never saw anyone paint a floor like that. My bedroom had purple shag carpet, and when it was time to paint the walls they asked me what color, and I said green. They got a pale green so I had green and purple in the room, like your drapes!! I really wish I had done those miniature of the month club subscription. Are they real wood?
I'm just older than you, graduated in 77. Say hi to your dad for me.
Thank you for watching! i'm glad you liked the Girls floor yes it's real wood just popsicle sticks! There are tons of those House of miniature kits on EBAY. Some people will sell 4 or 5 pieces for really good prices. Definitely check them out!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 no I meant if the House of Miniature stuff was real wood. I have never set up an eBay account because I didn't want to be tempted, I should try to sell stuff but it's gotten so complicated, I tried to help someone, size of box, cost to ship, how can you know until you mail it and know where it's going?
new to your channel so happy i found you !!! so far loving it I could actually see your dad in his room !!
HI Sandra! Welcome to Little Gretchen's Workshop! I am So glad you have chosen to be One of My Precious DOLLS!!! Yes That is Daddy's Forever Room! Before he passed I told he would always have a Room in my Original Dollhouse! He laughed really hard! Thank you for watching!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How do you decide what to paint and modify? If something is valuable, how do you determine that?
I usually only modify mass produced very common pieces. lf l get something that's damaged, broken or missing pieces l may modify it to repair it. But if it SIGNED by an Artisan, or really RARE or "branded" by company no longer in business it's likely l won't modify it. But there are times I'll break all the rules to suit my liking. Because at the end of the day it's YOUR DOLLHOUSE, and ONLY RULES ARE THE ONES YOU MAKE UP!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
“Didn’t you allow your children to play with your dollhouse?”
“Absolutely not.”
😂😂😂
Idk why that made me laugh.
Anyway I can see you get a lot of your loving goodness from having a dad like that.
My Children were Wonderful! But children in general a have no respect for delicate things, they don't mean to be reckless, they just are....LOLOLOLOLOL! My Daddy was awesome! He didn't introduce me to 12th scale miniatures until i was 10 years old. Although I totally LOVED miniatures, but I ruined more things than i want to admit! Daddy was very patient with me, and he would just replace what i ruined.Not sure if I have that kind of GRACE, so My Dollhouse was OFF LIMITS! LOL! Thank you for watching!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I think because you are so obviously a loving, gentle motherly type hearing you say this so unapologetically without further explanation, just cracked me up
Since your children couldn’t play with this dollhouse, did they have a toy one they got to play with? When I was still living at home, we had my adult hobby dollhouse, and then a different one for children to play with lol.
I showed them how to made a dollhouse from card board, 1/6 fashion doll size, so they definitely have miniature stuff. But MOMMY"S HOUSE was off limits! LOLOLOLOL! Thank you for watching!
