Dollhouse Show

Yesterday the girls and I decided to attend the dollhouse show at the Provo Library.  I was excited to attend due to the fact that I want to build one for the girls when they get a little older.  I wanted to get some ideas and study the fine craftsmanship of some of the examples.  The whole thing was advertised on buses, in newspapers and on television and I thought it was kind of a big thing.

Well what a bust it turned out to be, I felt like I was at a dollhouse garage sale.  I thought I was setting my standards a little high but even Chloe didn't seem all that interested in anything.  95% of the dollhouses were something I would let a family of rats live in.  Another problem I had was there was two large rooms that had a bunch of thrift store fodder that was for a silent auction, then all the dollhouses were thrown out in hallways.

So I am sorry I am being so negative but I was expecting quite a bit more.  Here are a few moments that we preserved in picture.

One of the few good ones.

This one had potential.
