My "New" Marx Metal Dollhouse

I bought this metal Marx dollhouse locally from a woman for $35. It comes with some plastic furniture. It is in really good condition, some minor scratches. I have always wanted a metal dollhouse. If anyone knows what year this dollhouse came out, let me know. I think it is from 1957.

Metal House Tins

I bought these house tins at Walmart at Christmas time. They were sold with cookies in them. I had to buy all four designs and colors!

and red neon paint. You could add a cord if you wanted to.

I taugh my Small World Daytimers Club how to make these adorable crock pots.

Mini Recycle Bin Keychain

My mother got this freebie for me about a year ago at a local festival.

The recycle bin keychain is a perfect size to be used in a dollhouse!

Just cut off the key ring! It is a promotional item used by Waste Management,

our trash removal company.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! Here in Ohio, we have had very cold temperatures and already had snow on the ground, so it felt like Christmas. Today, I went out to do some Christmas shopping with my mother and husband, and found some neat miniature finds that I will be posting pictures of very soon!

Dura Craft Farmhouse Finally Sold!

The Dura Craft Farmhouse was my first kit I built in the early 2000's when I got back into miniatures. My husband helped me build it. I was running out of room, so I decieded

a couple of years ago that I would sell this huge 8+ room house decorated in 1880's Victorian decor. After unsuccessfully trying to sell it through Ebay and Craig's List, I took it to a local consignment shop called "The Birdcage" and after 6 months there it just sold! I only made $175.00 after asking much more on Ebay and Craig's List, but I realized if I really wanted to sell it, I would have to come down on the price, so I did. I am just glad that will give enjoyment to someone else.
