Gothic Arches - Dollhouse

As far as toys go my fondest memories revolve around a dollhouse that I had. It was a simple dollhouse (metal I think in those days- late 1950's ). About 15 years ago I decided to build from a kit a victorian dollhouse and had a blast. The arch I made here includes a photo of that dollhouse scanned and cropped a bit to fit. This is for the Gothic Arches Challenge - favorite toys.

  8. Not only is your arch creative and beautiful, it is also very impressive to me that you actually built the dollhouse to begin with. Fantastic.
