WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

 





This is the handmade furniture of my doll house. It dates from 1946. My mother had asked a carpenter to make the little furniture and as in 1946 there was no money because Germany was occupied in my region by Americans and British soldiers, she knitted 5 pullovers for the carpenter's 5 children.

  2. Gorgeous!
    I've recently moved into a community for seniors and the work they produce in the woodshop here is amazing - doll houses, duck decoys, antique vehicles, etc.
