A Randomly Selected Newspaper Headline:

The following is a randomly selected newspaper headline from many years ago:

Welcome to my blog. Please feel free to leave a comment. I assure you I always read and appreciate everything you have to say. Unfortunately, thanks to Blogger being, well . . . Blogger, I can not respond to comments nor leave any on your blogs. They simply disappear into the ether. Occasionally I will remember to respond in the next blog post I put up, but usually these good intentions slip my mind. So if you want to ask a question or get a response to any comments you may have please leave an email address or other contact method in your comment and I will get back to you.

I have also added a separate page to the blog for the Tower of Magic with a brief summary of all the rooms of the ToM in the one spot. The link is just below this and above the main body of the blog, or you can just click here.

Dollshouse Daydreams' First Giveaway!

As those of you who read through all the comments on this blog know, I have promised to offer a giveaway this week. I am offering followers the chance to win a knole sofa like the one pictured below.
The sofa on offer is an identical copy of this one with the exception that I have not yet upholstered it. The winner of the sofa will be able to choose the fabric they would like. Below is a selection of patterned fabrics that could be chosen. In addition to the fabrics pictured I have a range of plain fabrics to choose from. I will negotiate this in more detail with the winner.
Knole sofa's have been around since the early 1600's and will look at home in any period dollshouse of this era or later. To enter the giveaway, simply sign up to follow this blog (if you aren't already) and leave a comment on this post. Entries will close on Saturday 19th June and the winner will be randomly selected and announced on Monday 21st.

  1. Oh I would love to win your beautiful sofa. I would put it in the upstairs reception area of the Petit Parterre, where customers relax while discussing there garden plans. It would be difficult to choose a fabric though, they are all so nice. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  5. Hi Heather,

    There is only one store in town that sells fabric, so all my fabrics pretty much come from there. They usually don't have what I'm actually looking for (take my many weeks looking for a fabric for the bed for example). When I go in I usually buy 10 or 20cms of three or four fabrics that might be useful and thus have amassed a reasonable collection that I go through whenever I want something.

    And I don't believe I dressed all those dolls either!

    Thanks to eveyone who has entered the competition so far and good luck!

  6. I am another one who would love to win the sofa. It might go to my, as yet unfinished, dollshouse, so I would need to think hard on the choice of fabric. Wish me luck ;-)
    BTW I admire your castle as well as your fast work. I am looking at blogs to much and don't do enough.....
