I hope I am not violating any copyrights by showing you a couple of pages from a 1937 magazine.
I love this house. If anyone actually makes it please post the pictures and send me the link, or email them to me to post.
And, please make me one too.
Rebecca of Rebecca's Collections blogged about this house and the plans a couple of years ago. Visit her post here.
Enjoy!

I love it. It reminds me of the Art Deco Trinag that has been bringing such high prices n ebayUK. CM
ReplyDeleteNow you can build one of your own. It says that the builder can make it any scale. I would love to see it in a 1:12 or even a 1:1.
ReplyDeleteAmazing find! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete* I also want one of these for me. : D

It was a very nice house!!!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me the "Mon oncle" film from Jaques Tati.
That is a really nice house!

There's one in Australia somewhere - I saw it in an exhibition of dolls houses 11 years ago. I scanned it from the book of the exhibition: http://rebeccascollections.blogspot.com/2009/03/casa-manana-plans-sold-on-ebay.html It's the only one I've seen - it would be lovely to have one :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the drawing of the little girls playing with the house - you can see how the wall of the Australian house got lost!

Your blog by the way is amazing and an inspiration. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Jaie! I am happy to hear I am not violating a copyright. Thank you also for your encouraging words about my blog. I love to collect and research for my blog, but I rarely get time to post. It is nice to be told that my readers appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your sales.
Susan
Thanks. I collect Petite Princess myself http://scaleadventures.blogspot.com/ and don't post as often as I'd like, so I do understand that! I'm also addicted to dollhouse apartments. I'm always on the lookout for them so I scan a lot of blogs and stumbled into your's entirely by accident. You have some great, museum worthy homes. I grew up in an auctioneering family and trust me, I've seen some great old houses and your's are their equals and beyond.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jaie. I am pleased to hear that you think my collection is museum worthy. I love my antique houses. In fact, a couple of them came from dollhouse museums that closed.
ReplyDeleteI have a post on Petite Princess here: http://susanshouses.blogspot.com/2009/04/petite-princess.html.
BTW, Ann Meehan has a lot of Petite Princess for sale including the kitchen and bathroom. I think it is almost a complete set you can reach her at this email antiquedh@comcast.net. If you do contact her please mention that I sent you. Her website is here: http://www.meehanantiqueminiatures.com/
Thanks, I'll check everything out. My budget is shot for PP this month but maybe October. I belong (on Facebook) to this group, http://www.facebook.com/groups/11635946438/?ref=ts run by Deborah Holman who wrote the PP book. Very awesome bunch of people. If you are on FB feel free to join us.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I am on FB and I have asked to join the group. I checked out your blog and I love it. Thanks for all the information.
ReplyDeleteSusan
Great! Look forward to seeing you there! By the way, the PP collection you have is great. There's so much more out there too! And affordable. Thank goodness for eBay and Etsy.
ReplyDeleteI'm more varied than you'd think by looking at the blog but right now I'm concentrating on my PP stuff.
