The trouble with sorting through things is that I keep getting distracted when I find stuff I had forgotten I had!  Today I have been sorting through my dolls house stuff.  I started to make and decorate a 1/12th scale dolls house years ago, and never really finished it.  I have lots of things to help me finish it, but somehow life kept getting in ( Read more... )

I have a tin type of my grandfather which is actually right next to me, I have no idea how old it is but it's pretty old.

And yeah, I can see getting off track all the time by things you'd forgotten you had.

It's great finding really old photos isn't it! Once we've finally moved and got settled in I'm going to digitise some of my favourites as I'd hate for them to get even more faded.

I don't have any photos of my grandparents as babies but I do have their wedding photos which are rather lovely.

It would have been my grandmother's 123rd birthday two days ago. She made it to 92 but my great aunt, also born in 1900, was 94 when she died. She'd only stopped driving the year before!

Love the doll's house.

I only have that one of a grandparent because she's the only grandparent I knew. Sadly all the others were long gone before I turned up.

I've got all enthusiastic about my dolls house again. I must find time to finish it!

You really should finish the dolls house- it would be lovely.

And you should make a framed copy of the picture of your grandmother to hang inside it.

This is my Granny in the icon when she was about 17 or 18. She was about 5 or 6 years older than yours.

Yes I was thinking I could use the photo of my Nan in the dolls house which would be fun. I have one of her at 15 as well which I could use.

It's nice having old photos isn't it!

I love finding old photos! Unfortunately, my one sister took all of our family photos and refuses to share them with us, even though we offered to pay the cost of having them copied.

I don't have many photos as my brother has them all and won't share but I have quite a few I got before he did that! Maybe your sister and my brother will allow us access at some point!

It has been my ambition for years to make a dolls' house, too. I will get to it eventually, I hope. *g*

Be careful about making a dolls house they can be addictive and so expensive to furnish. I think that's one reason I stopped as my salary took a nose dive just after I got it and I had to prioritise other things. Now I think I could probably make more stuff from scratch as I have a lot more time which should be cheaper.

Mind you I've just seen the matching basement for the cottage in a sale ..... So tempted!! I could have a proper upstairs/downstairs!!
