10 Amazing Doll Houses - Oddee.com
http://www.oddee.com/item_97641.aspx
When I was a very young child, I was given a lovely doll house -- nothing as elaborate or unique as these, but it was still a nice piece of two-story architecture, and it came complete with a little family to live in it and furniture. When my adoptive mother went to Green Market across town for groceries and took me along, I could usually get her to take me into the 5-&-dime store in the same block of shops, where, for a nickel, a dime, or a quarter, I could get furnishings for my doll house and, perhaps, companions for the little plastic family that lived there.
I'd have given both arms and a leg to have any of these doll houses. Some are gorgeous, such as the four-story-plus-attic Bosdyk doll house (# 6) and the English doll house (# 2). There's the eco-friendly doll house (# 7), and Henry Colbert's period Art Deco masterpiece (# 5). And the Dust Doll House (# 4) would make the best gift ever for Wednesday Addams (or, considering how much time has gone by since she first came into the world in Chas Addams's New Yorker cartoons, her great-great-granddaughter. But who's counting?).
This page can give one a serious case of Doll-House Envy.
