Last week when my Sis and I visited Thrift Shops
we went to the Topeka Salvation Army.
It was there that I purchased this red doored folding up hard plastic lil doll house that opens into a house with a audible door bell...DING DONG, flushing toilet with swirling flush away sound,
washing machine that rotates making utility sounds,
and last but not least a bath room shower that makes running water sound.
She was disinfected and ready to play with.
Some parts are missing, but that's alright...
Lil Miss likes little houses and she's having daily fun with this toy.
My Parents blessed me with childhood dolls, but I didn't have a childhood doll house.
With my Mom's permission I'd use old catalogs to cut out pictures for houses and imagine this was my house that had 4 living rooms, 10 bedrooms, 3 kitchens, 5 bathrooms, etc.
Someday I will doll up a miniature Doll House
with all the trimmings!
Liking miniatures.....will make this all the more fun.
I do have one of these hard back books that opens up into a Victorian Doll House.
It takes up very little room,
because it closes back and can be stored on a shelf.
NICE.
It's a busy life being a Granny Nanny...but it does come with benefits. I give myself permission to crawl around on the floor playing dolls! Not bad for being 56.

Hi D! Oh, that doll house is adorable! I've never seen anything like this before! I had one of those little metal two story doll houses when I was little but I loved card board boxes! I would cut the doors to open and close and make the window so the shutters would open and close! :)
Thanks for bringing back those memories. I hope you get your miniature house.
Be a sweetie,

All very sweet - dollhouses do seem so unique!
Recently I shared with my mom that I always wanted a doll house. She was so surprised because I had never once mentioned this fact to her when I was young. So your little miss is a very lucky girl to have a grandma know exactly what she "needs". Great find.♥♫
No way. I love it. I would play with it. :)
The doll house for Little Miss is the cutest ever! I love a good thrift store buy! I visit a blog called "For the Love of Mini's" that you would enjoy.
I'm taking an extended break from posting but I'll still be visiting with you. May God bless!
What a great find! That is so cute, and how fun that it makes all those sounds. I can see why she would love it, and I've done some of that crawling around, rearranging doll house furniture with my granddaughters too. Can't have much more fun that that. laurie
Ahh...this is just the very best play for children! If I could have just one purchased toy for my child, it would be a doll house. Developmentally it affords a multitude of opportunity for growth on many levels. Beside, they are just so darn much fun!!!
