Dollshouses

Dolls houses are amazing fun! I had one when I was younger and used to play with it all the time! What I did find rather bad however, was the price of dolls house furniture - sometimes it may have been cheaper to go and buy a real life size version of a particular piece of furniture! I found out though, there are loads of ways to do up your dolls house without it costing too much. There are many different items you can easily make out of household items that you may usually throw away. I had the idea of going to my local DIY store!

For her christmas present Ive settled for a Chad Valley Dolls house ...  Read the complete review

When I was a young girl my most treasured possesion was my dolls house, I would spend so many hours changing the furniture round, putting the dolls in to different rooms and to bed when it was night time. I have a lot of memories playing happily with my dolls house that when I saw one last year I just had to get my daughter one too. I found one for sale at my local sue ryder care shop, it 's not second hand its one of their new products that they sell and get commision for and it was priced at £79.99. I liked it because I was also giving money to a good cause. What struck me was the quality, it's not like my childhood dolls house, this is ...  Read the complete review
