One of my best memories to share with Tot: My Dollhouse!

As a little girl, I was blessed to have the coolest dollhouse on earth, thanks to my mom. She made sure it was furnished with the most special little pieces, and she also made much of it. I remember going to Metrocenter to skate about 3-4 times a week. Next to Orange Julius on the bottom level, there was a little store tucked away in the corner. It carried all sorts of dollhouse pieces! I used to save my money and purchase things there. What a great memory!

Take this secretary. Look at the teeny weeny books. (This is only about 4.5 inches tall and the books are about 3/4 inch.

The drawers actually open!
Well, we unveiled it to Tatum on Monday. It’s been sitting in our closet since she was born, awaiting to be played with. Now that Tot is 7, she is ready!
Here is the front: (It still has wiring underneath the roof for lighting!)

Here it is empty inside.

My mom and I had so much fun going through each piece!
Here is the mommy and daddy.

Tatum found the baby!

She begin to fill the house.

Oh look at all the teeny weeny kitchen pieces!
My fingers are now too big, but Tot’s are just right. The silverware is the size of a pin!

It’s starting to fill up.

There were lots of pieces that needed mending, but for the most part, it’s in tact.

I found this little bag of games and magazines. Monopoly is about 1 ” by 1″.

Here is the start of all the rooms.

(love the globe! It really works)

That light will light up when I get it hooked up.

Real ceramic bathroom pieces.

(the piano is going to be fixed)

This is just the first day. We have to finish getting it all set up.

As for Tatum? She is Uber-excited to play with it!! I’m so grateful my mom kept it all for us to carry on the joy.
