An Easter Surprise Doll Room Tour

I normally have my annual room tour in January!

Well, this year it is an Easter surprise tour.

What's the surprise? Look for little Easter eggs, 

bunnies and chicks throughout the tour.

(You can click on photos to see up close!)

My doll and toy room is in my attic, 

so up the stairs we go!

there is a peek of vintage family

 quilts hanging over the railing.

This is what you see first as you come upstairs.

On the left, is my Grandma's secretary.

When you open the doors it's a doll

condo for my 1950's Little Miss Revlon

fashion dolls.  

Don't worry, Grandma

loved dolls and would heartily love

this use for her secretary.

Just past the secretary on the left is my big dresser.

The secretary and this dresser are where 

I store most of my doll clothes.

Here is a close-up of the dresser top.

On the left is China Baby Ellen.

She was hand-painted for me by my Grandma in 1973.

Notice my 1970s Kiddle dolls in the center.

Behind them is my Patsy Ann book from 1938.

On the right is my tiny Betsy McCall, Sophie.

As we continue turning to the right

you can see my big baby dolls, Annabel and Bonnie.

They are watched over by

my Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls.

Continue to the right again and you see this

 little armoire.

On top is a new collection!

I recently found several first generation (1980s) My Little Ponies

in a thrift store. My intention was to clean, brush and sell,

but I had not taken into account their pastel-y adorableness.

As you continue turning to the right you see 

my computer and sewing area.

A little further right and you see this glass

fronted cabinet.

On top is Sophia, my Baby so Beautiful.

Inside the cabinet is another doll house

for my 9" Patsyette dolls from the 1920s.

That's Helena on the top floor, and 

Lillibet on the bottom floor.

Turn a little more and you come 

back to the secretary doll condo.

If you peek around behind there is

ANOTHER ROOM!

On the floor to the right is my 1920 and 1930 era

composition doll room.

My 1937 McGuffey Ana doll.

My 1939 Patsy Joan dolls.

Charlotte and Joan.

Their bedside table.

This is my 1925 Patsy Ann.

And a reproduction Patsy Joan from 1986

with all her bears.

This is a guest bed, but also the bed I slept in

as a little girl.  It goes with the big

white dresser.

Oooo, more eggs!

As you continue turning left you see...

THE BIG DOLL HOUSE!!!!

Down at the bottom right are the AG girls.

L-R: Julie, Grace, Emma and Molly.

This is the room shared by Julie and Grace.

Directly above is Emma's room.

To the left is Molly's room.

To  the left again is Cissy's and Marylou's room.

Here are Cissy and Marylou sitting in the Living Room.

To the right of the Living Room is the Kitchen.

My friend Joanne found this adorable iron skillet for me.

Where did all those carrots come from?

To the left of Cissy's room is a room shared 

by 9" Lissy and 14" Betsy McCall

On the left third floor are my two 

Mary Hoyer dolls, Nina and Alyse.

You can see two of my tiny bisque 

flapper dolls from the 1920s.

Last but not least is Martin's room at the top right.

"Hey, I don't need any girly Easter eggs in here thanks!"

(OK, Martin, way to ruin the mood!)

WELL, to make up for that here is view of some

lovely doll Easter Bonnets in my sewing area!

HAPPY EASTER 

EVERYONE!!
