Simona's New gift

Hello dear readers,

Dear Simona once again overwhelmed me by her generosity, sending me a house kit by UPS.  I have not
yet dared to begin to assemble it.  It is much larger than the little model house, with indoor rooms. It's
either a 1/24" or 1/48" scale.  I'll only be able to know when the assembly is completed.

It's so exciting.  Can't wait to start but have no time now for big projects and this looks to me like a
huge one.

It resembles a haunted house from a fairy tale.  I'll have to decide what magical creatures will be living in it.


These are the parts.  Challenging job!



Here is how it will (hopefully) look when assembled.



THANK YOU SIMONA FOR THIS VERY SPECIAL HOUSE.
I once commented that I do not yet have a dollhouse.  When Simona read this comment she decided
it was time I did.  I am very happy it isn't a large one as it will be difficult to find where to keep and display
a big dollhouse in our apartment which is already full of room boxes and miniature scenes.

It's unbelievable how tiny miniatures can take over your space.  The workroom already looks over loaded.
Very hard to keep it tidy, not wanting to through anything which might later be of use.  True to Murphy's
Law, once I throw something away I come to regret doing so as I need it for the next project in work.

I wish you all a wonderful, enjoyable weekend.

    Simona really is very generous. I think you're going to have a great time building the house, which indeed should be inhabited by magical (or just scary!) people,
