Houses in the Highlands

On Sunday my friend and I popped into Bowral for a poke around the shops on the way home from Div's.

Here's a round up of dolls houses and related items that we spotted while browsing Dirty Janes* and the attached antiques centre. (This sort of post seems to be becoming a regular feature around here...)

The first dolls house we stumbled across was in the emporium itself:

 Homemade with love, we were particularly taken with its pokerwork detailing which included a water barrel and pipe, quoins

 and iron lace.

 In the antiques centre, we were captivated by this vintage wire house which was being used as a lamp at the Suzie Anderson Home stall. Alas, it was out of my price range,

as were the other similar pieces she had on display...

The next stall had a sweet house made of felt, displayed on a vintage dresser with very clever trompe l'oeil, which I'd like to try on a miniature cupboard some time.

 Around the corner and almost at the end I spotted this house, made from packing crates:

I was tempted to send a picture to Rebecca to see if she was interested, but my phone was playing dead.

 The final house we spotted was less interesting:

 and faced a 1/6 scale ghost chair being used to display vintage jewellery.

(*I consoled myself by deciding there must be several people called Jane who were dirty...)
