Darling Dollhouses & What To Do With Just One Glove

We like to go on outings and play outdoors as much as possible. Busy beavers. Hustle bustle. That sort of thing. With it being spring break, we were extra on the go and tried to mix it up a bit, but still relied upon some of our old standbys. It was at one of our regular haunts, a state historic museum which has a 3rd floor hands on children's discovery exhibit, replete with galleon, trading post, fortress etc. we encountered what appeared to be the rest of our town, also on spring break. After getting swiped with a straw broom or nudged with a toy musket one too many times, we decided to head downstairs to the permanent collections and touring exhibits.
And I am so glad we did. The first collection was of miniatures!! Oh, I how I love wee things! And my heart skipped a beat when I saw one of my dollhouses there on display. Well, not the actual one I owned, but the exact same model. My mother kept nearly everything I owned as a child, but for some reason (I think rust, maybe?), she got rid of the dollhouse. :-( I saw one just like it one time at an antiques shop in south Alabama. The dealer wanted $50 for it, which I felt was too much, so it was a treat to be reunited with it and to have camera in hand to capture the image of this emblematic part of my childhood.
So here I present, my house, in all its nostalgic glory and some of the others as well..sorry the photos aren't great. I'm still not great with indoor photography shooting through plexiglass.

My little humble abode circa 1974 or so?




Then, as if that wasn't fun enough to find, we went just across the hall and found this wonderful display. 3 huge art installations of single, found gloves. I so want to collect these myself and make a similar piece for my bedroom, I think. Or maybe it should be more focal, as it is good conversationally and just really nice to admire. The more you look, the more you are able to pick out individual gloves, then see tiny details of those gloves to ooh and aah about, then compare and contrast.."I like the lines of this glove but with that fabric and those buttons. Oooh! Perfect!". So, anyone have any lonely gloves out there? Seriously! :-) Email me. I'll give them a good home. Promise.
