PHOTO HUNT: MINIATURE

My House Is A Very Fine House
Our doll house, full of MINIATURE magic.  This house was built circa 1976 by the father-in-law of the Zoolatry Human.  It has moved through five homes and four states and today it entertains a whole new generation of children.
And sometimes, it even entertains the kitties of the house, and as Zoey says,
"my house is a very fine house".
More remarks from Zoey ~ [starting top right] ~ here I am at the front door... and there's our
kitchen, that's a favorite room of mine ~ and here is the ZH's granddaughter, welcoming me to the house!
Now I am taking a closer look at the kitchen, yes, I'm sure I see a bowl of kitty food there...
I am far from being a MINIATURE cat, but look, I fit purrfectly...
Having finished my food, I just relax a bit...
Oh yes, my house is a very fine house...
at least it was until I busted the front door!

  2. Quite a long time ago there was a song in the UK by (I think a group called Madness) called Our House and the first line was "Our house is a very fine house".
    Thank you Zoey - I now have that song going round and round in my head!!

  9. A very fine house indeed! It certainly holds a lot of treasured memories in its rooms from all the years. We have a pretty dollhouse too, and it also has a broken front door - we didn't do it - it was some little boy bipeds.

    Thanks for the tour, Zoey.

  13. Oh Ann!!!
    This is absolutely beautiful!!!
    When my own girls were little, I bought one - fairly similar, which had been hand-crafted by a retired gentleman. (It cost me a FORTUNE!) It was large and heavy, but the little ones spent HOURS there! Sadly, it is gone now because I handed it to another little girl who also had such joy out of it. I am sure though, that it is still out there giving pleasure somewhere! What a beautiful thing!...and so wonderfully furnished! Hold onto it!!!
    (I was wondering...why is there a 'writing desk' in the kitchen?) :)
    If you get a chance...when is Halloween? Here in SA, it is not really celebrated - nothing much at all! So I am fascinated with all the goings on on the blogs...pumpkins, recipes, costumes, competitions, headers....
    Take care and have a wonderful weekend! I really loved the nostalgia of your post today....THANK YOU!

  17. My sister bought the Playmobile "Victorian House" for my niece and every time you bought a part, you got a child figure. She ended up with 20 or so children. We took to calling it the Playmobile Orphanage as a result....
