Bavarian Dinning room furniture


Since the day I opened this blog I have had wonderful experiences. One of the greatest is what I am posting about today.

A short time ago, I posted about the Bavarian set of bedroom furniture my daughter brought me from Austria. Among the many comments, Eva -
http://casitaderegaliz.blogspot.com/, mentioned that she had pieces of furniture like mine. Out of curiousity, I asked Eva about them and she emailed back photos. Amazingly these were exactly the color and decorations as mine. Eva wrote that she found them at her local flea market. They were not the scale and color she needed and it seemed a pity to paint over the pretty decorations. If I wanted them, I have only to email my address and she'll send them to me. Just like that without asking for anything in exchange!!!! This was the most generous offer I ever had!!!
THANK YOU EVA, from the bottom of my heart.





Eva's parcel arrived in a very short time and here are photos of the lovely dinning room set.  Eva's set is brand new.  Mine is second hand well used but in wonderful condition.  All I have to do is change the cloth material.

Of course, all this rules out my theory about the loving grandfather creating them.  They are probably commercially manufactured but painted by hand.

I am planning a "Zimmer" (bed and breakfast) scene.  The scale is 1/16".  This is going to be a long project.

    I found dollhouse furniture in the same series as yours in one of my old cataloges, from year 1998. If you want to se what they look like I can send a photo to your mail or put a photo on my blog. Are you interested? Some of them are the same as yours. They were sold by a company called "Direct Trade" here in Sweden. I can send a photo that tomorrow if you want to se them

    No me extraña que Eva te los mandara, es una persona generosa y un encanto de mujer,
    La verdad es que es una escala más adecuada.

    Besos, Narán

    Drora! this story has something of a miracle ... Perhaps the grandfather traveled a lot? perhaps he had a secret son, in another part of the world, and other grandchildren? ha ha ha!
    beautiful furniture! the idea of a "zimmer" tickles me very well for my hut ... many congratulations, I think you manage to finish your project long before me ... :))
    kisses!

    I love your Bavarian furniture. I used to live in Austria and we had furniture like this in our country house. Thank you for dropping by my blog today Drora. I have felt so lonely because I have not been making minis for ages. Hopefully all that will be changing soon. Best wishes from Ireland, Carol :)

    Eva is so thoughtful, and her gift to you is so meaningful. Most miniaturists are very kind and thoughtful. Eva is a precious friend.

    It is gesture like this that makes me love blogland. People are so generous and giving and most importantly, ever so encouraging. Without my friends in blogland I am certain I wouldn't have gone as far as I did. I can see it happening with you as well, Drora. Your work is improving as I have said in another comment by leaps and bounds and it is such a pleasure to read all your psots. I just want to congratulate you also on all your wins and to tell Eva, she is wonderful too! :)
