I hope you enjoy the fair jeanette, but if i was going i would want a cheque book with plenty of money. You will see so many things you want to buy, i think at least 200.00 to take with you, as you might be disapointed if you dont. I have to go now to shops and walk my dogs. will be back on later to see your pics but maybe not till later this afternoon. Got to get school stuff done for my girl and do dinner so about 2pm, jen

Hi when you do your next house, just a word of advise. Prime all your wood first inside and outside. Then spraypaint the outside, gives a much nicer finish. Inside is really painted walls. When they are all painted one colour like cream you will find when you put in your furniture rugs etc it will look fantastic.
Also if you are intending to put in a proper fire place so you have alcoves either side then do all your large rooms the same and before you paint or put skirtings and covings,that way you will get great results. Hope thats a tip that helps you jen

Hi Jen well I never ! no mine has 2 n's and 2 t's and I used to hate mine! but when I was small my family called me Jean as I grew I hated it then when my sister was born my parents called her Annette and we were not allowed to shorten her name when I spoke up and said why was mine shortened I was told I was not pretty enough to be called Jeannette!!! nice Dad I must say !!! any way that is a long time ago all is forgiven and I am now Jeannette! my family still call me Jean and my friends call me Jennie or Jeannie. These days as long as I'm called for my dinner I don't care !!! my best name of course is Granma by my beautiful grandchildren I have 5, 3 girls and 2 boys the 2 little girls are who I have done the dolls house for. The oldest granddaughter my husband made a house for her and she has still got it saving for when one day she has a little girl !!! I have 4 lovely children 2 girls 2 boys all married. we had our golden wedding this year so there you have it !!!!! I have just put my camera on charge so hopefully will take some pics of inside house tomorrow. Love Jeannette.

Hi Jen Oh thanks for the information I certainly won't be buying from her now you have told me that. How long have you been doing dolls prams ?and dolly houses? as you have so much knowledge .I started making the china dolls about 10 years ago when I got to know Ann Price have you heard of her she used to have a shop in Garston and did loads of fairs. Lovely Lady she doesn't teach any more but we still see each other as some other ladies that new her hold a doll club once a month we all meet up and have a great laugh, show off our dollies etc!! go to fairs together when we can and out for meals. I have to say I have always loved dolls since I was small and my tea sets I have collected all my life Jeannette
