I do hope you'll blog, or post photos on Dolls Houses Past and Present - I'd love to learn more about your collections and inspirations!<br />I expect by now you're warm enough in Northumberland! The week we had in Canberra was lovely, and well-timed, as the weeks before and after were quite cold. Here in Darwin it's warm all year round - I wish I could sometimes send some of the warmth to colder parts!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-1707485933979776592013-06-16T21:20:52.651+09:302013-06-16T21:20:52.651+09:30Hi Rebecca I love your stuff, your blog is so put ...Hi Rebecca I love your stuff, your blog is so put togetherIm a wannabe blogger!

Still, I'm very happy with what I found on a first go!<br /><br />Do you recognise the dolls house furniture? or the two-storey house? I think you have just shown the bungalow in your post about flower windows ☺Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-82350422405468190782013-05-20T17:13:25.407+09:302013-05-20T17:13:25.407+09:30Wasn't it exciting?

Here in Darwin, it's nearly the dry season - we don't have the same seasons here.

Or possibly earlier Walther & Stevenson catalogues, but they are fairly rare.

I am very intrigued by the Kleeware remark too... Do you think they used to sell the same sets but made by an Australian maker (like Marquis Plastic had a Plasco licence, which one had a Renwal licence ?) ?Yséhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765328244122004911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-77766596833325975402013-05-17T23:33:35.665+09:302013-05-17T23:33:35.665+09:30Hello from Spain: beautiful pictures.

I think if I had been able to look through 1970s and 80s issues of the toy trade journal, I would have seen the introduction of dolls houses and miniatures for collectors, adults as well as kids, but in the 60s, there weren't many in Australia at all, and those that were made or imported here were kids' toys only. Of course, some of them are now very collectable!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-77213959420870650652013-05-17T21:14:39.475+09:302013-05-17T21:14:39.475+09:30Hello Rebecca,
