Jo's Dollhouses

I had never even
thought about building a dollhouse! But about 20 years ago, I had been
working long hours, and taking work home, 6 & 7 days a week.
One Friday I just felt totally burnt out and left at 5 o'clock. I
had a 50+ mile drive to get home and decided to stop at a local K-Mart
to walk around, unwind and let the traffic thin out. My stroll through
the store took me through the toy department. A box on one of the
bottom shelves caught my eye. I picked it up, it was a small victorian
dollhouse kit that had been reduced from $ 69 to $10. I looked it
over and decided why not! My granddaughter's birthday was coming
up and this would be a perfect gift. I made my purchase and headed
home, thinking about all the possibilities of my little house! I
changed clothes and sat down in the floor and opened the box, spread all
the little parts out and thought, what have I gotten myself into?
Needless to say it only took a couple of days and I was HOOKED! This
little slot and tab prefinished exterior bargain began a long line of dollhouses
and I'm still at it!
