Doll's House

Clara and Suzanne are playing with their cut out dolls
As I promised the rest of my victorian house, there are no long shots as it is just a shell, and I can't decide if I am going to do it up or just use the ply wood for furniture and boxes. 
The Nursery,  Suzanne and Clara play with their cut out dolls,
while Dora is asleep, so she can't tear them.

Betty is doing her mending
Betty's room in the attic
Dora is awake, and Betty has given her a nice bath.
"stop fidgeting Dora"  Dora hates bath time Ugh!
 

While the children are playing quietly, and Emily is asleep,
Sophie is reading her favourite  book.

 "Oh dear!  I must tidy up before George comes home.
 One more chapter then I will do it."

Minature Scenes

These are my room boxes and settings, that are not in houses and just dot, around the house.  I am constantly changing them or moving the characters around, as you will see.  The large photo is where Father Christmas was sitting after his rounds, having a cup of  hot chocolate.  Now it is an elegant sitting room.  This sits on a book shelve next to my table.   A D.H.E book box, with Jane writing her books, is also on a bookshelve and sits beside's, Eliza and her barrow.  Albert's market stall is also on a bookcase, needing a section to it's self.   We have a u-bend stairway, and have a half wall, mid way, little scenes are often created here as we walk up and down the stairs, but I don't always take pictures of them.  Albert is having a rest after work, and a well deserved drink.  Gromit and Shaun appear to have run away from Wallace, oh dear me!!!  Annabelle is holding on to her hat, although she is on a roof garden, she is not part of any seen at the moment and will properly be moved to a shelf in time.
Eliza, Jane and Hilda, (the lady in green), are wearing home made outfits.
Lydia plays the piano for family and friends, Edmund is particularly
attentive and wishes to do a duet.
Jane contemplating her next story line.
Nicola and Natalie are looking for a bargain, at Albert's, "Second Time A Round" shop.
  2 very strange characters look on while
Albert has a warm  by the fire, after a busy day at work.
Eliza is selling her flowers, it is very cold out here.

Annabelle is holding on to her hat "it is very windy to day"  "Oh no! I do not like the way Tabby is eyeing those birds. If he jumps my books will fly all over the place in this wind."

Fleetville Vintage Market


A few goodies I spotted at Fleetville Vintage Emporium and 
Scallydog's market round the back.
