Cestina's dolls houses: She sells seashells.....

http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2015/07/she-sells-seashells.html

The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Tuesday, 14 July 2015. Before I launch into a description of my most recent project, an update on my last blogpost. I said I thought I had garden chairs and seats - I hadn't anticipated finding nine tiny chairs and three garden seats! And then, joy of joys, Zoe, a visitor from Dolls Houses Past and Present. And I have owned it for many, many years. It came to me in an appalling stat...

It Started With Harper’s Bazaar… | Outskirts of the Twenties

https://outskirtsofthetwenties.wordpress.com/2014/01/05/it-started-with-harpers-bazaar

Outskirts of the Twenties. A Terribly Sedate Affair. Gone Without A Trace. It Started With Harper’s Bazaar…. January 5, 2014. So, it started with Harper’s Bazaar…. Rather more than once they had. Thus it was that the May 1915 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, in running an advertisement that dared to mention ‘objectionable hair’ (what appallingly direct words. Bunter, ready the fainting couch! Although – wait a minute. What was it that the advert said? So much for underarm hair – but what about the legs? This wa...

Chris and Lindsey’s Place: Canon Rawnsley's May at the Lakes

http://www.chrisandlindsey.co.uk/2015/05/canon-rawnsleys-may-at-lakes.html

Chris and Lindsey’s Place. We love books, music, technology, going interesting places, walking. Canon Rawnsley's May at the Lakes. Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley's entry for May in his Months at the Lakes includes a surprising description of a visit to Arnside Knott. The view from Arnside Knott is beautiful and ever-changing with the seasons. It's a view I love and I was delighted to read that Rawnsley loved the Knott, too. Looking for our business website?

Cestina's dolls houses: November 2014

http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Sunday, 23 November 2014. Or even better - Bomber's Pomsta. Isn't "pomsta" a wonderful word? I was enchanted to find from some Czech visitors that it is the Czech for "revenge". I was trying to explain to them, as they struggled with the pronunciation, why I had so meanly named my 1914 department store "Gosthwaites of Aberystwyth". In this short clip. But enough of that and on to the cr...

Cestina's dolls houses: August 2014

http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Friday, 29 August 2014. That Old House in Paris.Chapter One. All will at last be revealed! I am sorry it has taken so long but some essential items were missing until this week and I really didn't want to post until it was completed. As jam by the way.). Some of you will remember that many moons ago I asked for ideas for House Number Four. From friend and faithful follower Andrea. I...

Cestina's dolls houses: February 2015

http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Saturday, 7 February 2015. A View from the Orient. It is with shame that I realise that my last blogpost. Still says "Season's Greetings" - we are now almost half way to Easter and I am still extending Christmas and New Year good wishes! So I am determined that before I head off for a four day break in Budapest on Monday - I wonder if there are any dolls houses in Hungary? I think it wa...

Cestina's dolls houses: A garden is a lovesome thing.....

http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-garden-is-lovesome-thing.html

The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Monday, 22 June 2015. A garden is a lovesome thing. And I am lucky enough to have two of them now. The full-size garden - courtyard really - has been in existence for a number of years but since opening Small Worlds two years ago I have rather neglected it. So I was left with a large bottom shelf with nothing on it and a need to fill it rapidly before Small Worlds opened to the public o...

Cestina's dolls houses: February 2014

http://czechdollshouses.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

The journey to a dolls house museum of my very own. Small Worlds - Museum Information. Butterflys Work in Small Worlds. Thursday, 6 February 2014. Porridge in a pot. Well that's what the pot in question looks as if it should be used for anyway. But in fact it has ended up with something quite different inside it. A dolls house maker was born. And some time later so was a miniature knitter - Sheila produced the most amazing baby clothes and dresses for little girls. All this was so many years ago that I c...

Polari | Outskirts of the Twenties

https://outskirtsofthetwenties.wordpress.com/2014/09/08/polari

Outskirts of the Twenties. A Terribly Sedate Affair. Gone Without A Trace. September 8, 2014. Hallo, and it’s bona to varda your dolly old eeks again after so long! As I sit here in my bijou lattie, with my morning mangare and buvare, recovering from being totally daffy last night, I thought it was time to screeve a bit on the fabulosa lingo that is polari. Now, I know what you’re going to say: What’s a young striller like me know about the parlare of the omi polones of yesteryear? There are not many cli...
