wow!! I love dolls houses, we have no room though :(

Thanks for the Link Copse, but i already have a very long wish list on the dolls house emporium, i have had a look at there videos they are very imformative. i guess i need to look in to how the victorians were, what the furniture was and clothes were then, did they have oil lamps? so many unanswered questions in my head! i don’t want to make a costly mistake, so i really want to be sure of how i am going to do it, before i start.

We have a dolls house fair on this weekend in Shuttleworth - there maybe one on near you - not sure where you are based.

This site has a list of some events.
