On the 19th of April this year, Flora organised a giveaway of a set of her adorable dollhouse books to celebrate the joy of having 400 followers , some of whom (like me) are so ardent in our following that we almost never miss a post at her blog, La Casa delle Bambole di Flora.
This is my comment on her giveaway post:
I have acquired many a dollhouse books , so many that I did not have the opportunity to even open some of them so they are still carefully wrapped in yellowing plastic, collecting a firm film of dust :).
But can I resist if I see more ? Of course not! You have made books close to my heart, dear Flora :). Please count me as one of your faithful follower, hopeful and thankful for this chance to win your books.
106 of her followers participated but I must have had about 107 lucky stars revolving around me on the draw date because I won. Lucky, lucky me. I finally have a miniature collection alongside my humble real life collection of dolls' house books which I started buying since about 3 years ago.
Today, I took out Flora's books and took pictures of them on top of one of my favorite, DOLLS' HOUSES -Domestic life and architectural styles in miniature from the 17th century to the present day by Olivia Bristol and Leslie Geddes-Brown. And then I thought, maybe I will show Flora my real life collection.
So here they are,
Flora and all of you who love books on dolls' houses,
these are mine, as at 18th August 2011.
Part of the Sandra Morris collection
More of the Sandra Morris' Collection with newer how to books.
The DVD ,"Creating With Kiva" was a gift from Kiva Atkinson.
My very 1st book on dollhouse was "Classic Dolls' Houses" by Faith Eaton,
bought way before I fell in love with dolls' houses.
Books that I have yet to read.
And those still wrapped in yellowing plastic, bought at the Miniature Museum of Taiwan.
Last but definitely not least, my latest and most beautiful collection,
hand made immaculately by someone I regard dearly,
Flora .
