I was in Hobby Lobby buying items for my nephew, who's nursery I am designing. I can never go into the store without stopping by the doll house section and the clearance aisle, which just happens to be side by side. I thought I was having a migraine (which affects my vision sometimes) when I saw the price tag! It was discounted for missing pieces. I asked the lady in the store if the walls were missing she said no and that was all I needed to know. She said she really didn't think anything was missing but the box was found open and could not be sold at regular price. I started feeling light-headed and my heart started racing! I couldn't get it in the basket fast enough, I even picked it up by myself because I was too afraid to leave it. LOL.
I also found this for video $11 (regular price $19) along with doll kits in the clearance section. It is a really good video for someone like me who would like to make my own dolls. She makes everything from scratch and uses oven bake clay. I see how I can easily adapt the techniques to 1:12 dolls. I have how-to-books on making miniature dolls, molds, tools, etc. and I still feel intimidated for some reason. But I plan to make my first one soon.
wow am I seeing this right $6.71?? how great is that?? Have you opened it to check for any thing missing?
ReplyDeleteI wish, the four is faded it was $46. I did. Everything appears to be there. The parts were still wrapped and unopened in the box, nothing appeared to be broken or missing, instructions included. Things were placed neatly inside like they would be from the factory, even hard to get out like new.
ReplyDeleteIf any pieces are missing, Real Good Toys will replace them. But it sounds like everything's there, and either way - lucky you!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are very lucky. Was meant to be! IndyPoppy
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! What a great find! I have been sticking to half scale, but would have grabbed that up in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteIts funny, I never liked the house before. I think it was the primary color scheme. I have seen it done in different color schemes now and it is more appealing to me. I instantly thought of the exteriors of the Robin Carey dollhouses and I want to do something similar.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations with the dollhouse kit you bought, it's a lovely painted lady.

Hi Jocelyn! I am so envious of your new kit house, but I believe it was Meant to be yours! With my current build of the Arthur, I was able to snag the house already assembled but in really rough shape, from the thrift store for $20! It was the last store in a day of a major thrift store crawl and with 10 mins left before the store closed, there it was on the top of a shelf in plain view! I took that as a sign that it was meant to be mine, just as I think that this house was destined for you! I love the facade and with your remarkable skills, I expect that we can all anticipate some spectacular results once you dig into it! Have fun!

Oh thank you, I also took it as a sign because I never even considered buying the dollhouse or even noticed it before that day.
