Perhaps it thinks I have bought enough now :-) Congratulations on getting a bid, I hope you will get high prices for your items!Pubdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437757001376468255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-24935210332200997482009-11-23T13:32:12.213+09:302009-11-23T13:32:12.213+09:30Hi Louise, hmm, maybe the flu has hit it! Although...Hi Louise, hmm, maybe the flu has hit it! Although probably not H1N1, as I think this is sometime in the 1950s or 60s! The poor person with the large head is actually on crutches with a broken leg, but has come back to the hospital as she's managed to break a toe now too!<br />My ebay name is tcreeknt63. I've only got 3 things up at the moment, it took me long enough to do them! So I'll go slowly on that too, and hopefully learn from any mistakes.<br />For the scraping, I'm using a Stanley knife at the moment - I think you call them box cutters? I also used a screwdriver with a fine head to start with, as it has a good handle, but it's easy to go too deep with that. The stanley knife is very sharp and fine, and scrapes away fine layers, so I can see what's underneath each (more to scrape, often!)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-82019184510585911182009-11-23T13:26:52.113+09:302009-11-23T13:26:52.113+09:30Hi Pubdoll, I certainly won't be out of mini w...Hi Pubdoll, I certainly won't be out of mini work for a long time, but I'm not sure if I or the poor dolls have more patience! It's not a good sign when the hospital staff start collapsing ;-)<br />The ebay link works for me, but maybe that's because it's my page? Here's a link to one of the auctions: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Vintage-MIP-Lundby-Dolls-House-Girl-in-Jeans-1243_W0QQitemZ300369713921QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Houses_Miniatures?hash=item45ef6e1b01<br />Hope that works! My ebay name is tcreeknt63 - and yay, I have a bid!<br />Christmas sounds like a great time to read The Shield Ring - though sometimes Christmas can be busy too, especially beforehand.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-86916198675711015292009-11-23T13:16:54.491+09:302009-11-23T13:16:54.491+09:30Hi Callsmall, I thought you'd be interested in...Hi Callsmall, I thought you'd be interested in the bungalow! Now that I've mended a few bits of wall and put it together again, I am working on the furnishings, so hope a post will be forthcoming soon. <br />Hmm, well, I'll see how the selling goes. So far I have a number of people watching the auctions, and an enquiry about postage to America, so that's hopeful! I love buying things for €1 or 99p, but can't see how the seller can break even, with all the fees. Selling certainly gives a different light on that! So I haven't started that low - just hope people do bid for what I'm asking!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-45848005911632946512009-11-23T13:07:27.824+09:302009-11-23T13:07:27.824+09:30Hi Florine, yes, I thought of putting something ab...Hi Florine, yes, I thought of putting something about the battlement house too! I have bought a few dolls and some early 19th century fabric, but so far have not done anything with it. Will update soon, I hope!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-49890122078396048752009-11-23T10:55:24.161+09:302009-11-23T10:55:24.161+09:30OH Rebecca...your hospital...has the H1N1 hit ther...OH Rebecca...your hospital...has the H1N1 hit there? The poor fellow who's head has nearly blown up from a stuffy nose and the poor Mom watching it all unfold in front of her--the Dr. passing out and the nurse "flat out" on the bed. They need HELP! Oh my gosh selling on ebay! I'm just getting ready to sell again too. I do know what you mean about trying to figure "sellers" costs, especially now with Paypal costs. I think I'll just have to sell a few things and then figure it "on the fly". What is your ebay name so I can watch your FOR SALE items. I hope to start selling soon but not sure if I will make it before the holidays or not... on ebay I'm hlvette in case you want to watch. I'll probably post it on my blog when I actually start. I don't know how you have the patience to "scrape" off the paint. What are you using to scrape with if I may ask? You must have the patience of a saint. Good girl for saving that house though!

It doesn't look like you will be out of mini work for a while, you must have so much more patience than me! <br /><br />I love your new bungalow after just seeing that one photo, so I'm really curious to se the rest!<br />And poor nurse, doctor and hospital, I hope they all get better soon :-) I didn't manage to get your ebay link working, hope it can be fixed as well :-) <br /><br />And I've got the Shield ring now, but my life's so busy at the moment, I don't think I will have time to read it until the Christmas Holiday.Pubdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437757001376468255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-12977509056354281132009-11-23T06:23:55.898+09:302009-11-23T06:23:55.898+09:30OOOH!

I'd be curious to hear what you think of your eBay selling experience. Mine have left me feeling not completely satisfied. I find that it is not yet worth all the effort to list, package, and ship! I did sell a vintage doll house and that went pretty smoothly, but then I was thinking I should have put it up for more, etc. Lots of second guessing! Good luck!callsmallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075466362820258016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-52789670729630588592009-11-23T03:01:28.098+09:302009-11-23T03:01:28.098+09:30SIX "teasers"! You work like I do..it...SIX "teasers"! You work like I do..it's so hard to complete one little house without wanting to work on another. I am not a fan of "scraping and painting" so I am rather happy my collection hasn't gone in that direction...but so nice to see the great work that others do! Your Battlement House with the fantastic fireplaces has been on my mind a lot lately; any work in that direction? Liked the teaser on your new German house and anxious to see all of it! And your hospital reminded me of the rest of my Saturday nite in suburbia house...so now I don't feel so bad. Thanks for the update on all the fun you are having!Florinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05487255851413103894noreply@blogger.com
