Warning, there's music!

Every year, Hallmark or some other company produces a holiday ornament that can be used in miniature settings. Today I stumbled across this new, very iconic 1960's television set ornament at http://www.hallmark.com/products/christmas/keepsake-ornaments/the-beverly-hillbillies-1795QXI2141_DK/. It lights up and plays music.*


*WARNING: the website plays the Beverly Hillbillies' theme song, LOUDLY, (so don't visit the site without turning down the volume on your iPad first because you do not want to be embarrassed when everyone turns and gawks at you. Of course, this would never happen to me.)

Wishing you only good things, Neen

The Undersized Urbanite Dollhouse Contest






Thank you Christine for creating "The Undersized Urbanite Dollhouse Challenge!" I learned about it from "Tiny Fixation's" incredible "Large and In Charge" blog http://tinyfixation.blogspot.com/2012/11/undersized-urbanite-giant-new-challenge.html?showComment=1353527800423#c6401039082706451631."
Check out the rules, and prizes for Christine's contest at http://www.littlevictorian.com/p/dollhouse-contest.html.
I really wanted to participate in HBS's contest this year. Life, as usual, has not made that easy with stress, health or lack thereof, and more stress. I did a dry fit of my concept 1930's art moderne house last week, here's a corner:




But my cat jumped on its roof yesterday. Goodby dry-fit.
So, thank you Christine. When I pick up the pieces my cat has deigned to leave me, you can count me in on your wonderful challenge!
