One of my great joys these past couple years (and especially since corona virus craziness) is enjoying my little dolly house I’ve christened “Idlewyld Cottage” ; an obscure reference to “Anne of Green Gables” of which I am an avid fan. I got brave and built the little house from a kit a couple years ago. It’s pretty wonky and fragile but I did complete it and that itself feels like an accomplishment. Then came task of decorating and furnishing it. I was able to find several items vintage and /or used online. Nothing perfect or slick; missing knobs, drawers that fall open or are stuck shut, weird sizes, but that is what I love. In my own big person sized house as well as my tiny doll house. When covid hit, I really got obsessed with sewing and crafting. I found an adorable website called, “Ann Wood handmade”. She gives so many sweet and doable projects that I have so enjoyed including many items for my little house. Tiny dolls, tiny doll clothes, tiny quilts, bags, etc. All mostly hand stitched which is very therapeutic and relaxing. This is no work of art and the flaws are countless and many are glaring but for me It’s a precious heirloom.
