A childhood dream come true

When I was a child I remember making houses for my Sindy dolls out of old crisp boxes and things I could find around the house. Back then we moved a lot, the RAF likes to do that to people, so my Mum would throw away those boxes each time we moved on. I think I gave up around the age of 12 and decided it would have to wait. Three kids and two marriages later and I still wanted a dolls house to call my own.

This year I took matter in to my own hands and bought myself a Quay Woodcraft Fantasy Villa. It's a 1:24 scale tab slot model that cost me the wondrous sum of £26. Six weeks later, on our 13th wedding anniversary, my lovely Hobster bought me Magpies from the Dolls House Emporium. Two months after that a dear friend bought me the add on for it, Jenny Wrens.

This blog will document the journey from unboxing onward.
