I already told you that I have a Beacon Hill dollhouse by Greenleaf...
well... I saw this dollhouse for the first time in the year 1994 when I was 15 years old.
Everyday on the way to school I passed by a craft store which sold dollhouse furnitures and wallpapers, etc.
There I bought this Greenleaf catalogue and I was dreaming about the Beacon Hill!!!
(Yes, I still have this catalogue!!!)
I had no chance to get the Beacon Hill :-(
First, I had no money... second, I think there was no possibility to buy one at the craft store... just the catalogue.
October last year, I found an online shop in the USA that ships to Europe!
First I thought this house it too expensive but then a friend of mine convinced me to buy it.
(Ja Graziella, ich meine Dich!!!)
I bought it 18 years after I saw this house for the first time!!!
Six days after I placed my order, the kit arrived in Vienna.
And last weekend I started to build it:
First, I wanted to bash the kit extremely and than I realized, that it wouldn't be the Beacon Hill anymore since I wanted to change the outer walls and add one floor and so on...
That's the reason why I'm bashing the kit just a little bit.
And I will build another dollhouse one day from skratch... some day... however...
That's all for today!
See you soon
Lina
And as usually, a warm welcome to my new followers!

AntwortenLöschenEnjoy your new dollhouse fully! xo Jennifer
Lovely, your dream came true. Will you write where you bought it, it can be difficult to find stores that will ship to Europe.
AntwortenLöschenEnjoy your lovely new house.

Hallo Wyrna!
LöschenSure, I bought the dollhouse here:
http://www.overstock.com/
Just search for dollhouse kits... there are just a few but probably you can find the house of your dreams :-).
Unfortunately the price for shipping and the custom duty is very high! But you can check it out directly on the website short before finishing the order!
Hugs, Lina
Enjoy your build. It's a beautiful house. If you're interested in seeing a Beacon Hill already finished and all decorated, Google Mary's Dollhouse Nook, unless you're already familiar with her work.
AntwortenLöschenIm so glad you got the kit that you wanted for so long! It took me 15 years to get the one I dreamt about. Cant wait to watch your progress
AntwortenLöschenDear Lina, condratulations with your Beacon Hill. The magazine your saw in your youth was -as far as I can see- of a dutch shop named "Karweipost". I bought my "Cameleon-kit" at their shop (see my blog). Unfortunaly the shop dissapeared from the market. I wish you lots of fun with constructing your kit!

Thanks for becoming a follower of my blog!:)
AntwortenLöschenI love the Beacon Hill, a Dutch miniaturist, called Marmod, made a beautiful Disney house out of the Beacon Hill; I am anxious to see what you will make out of it.
I like the fact that you are altering the house; that makes the house really YOUR house.
Looking forward to seeing your work on the BH.
Hugs,
Gee
By the way: the greenleaf forum has a lot of pics of BHills
Hi Lina, it is so wonderful when dreams come true!
AntwortenLöschenI'll follow the progress of your BH.
Hugs, Ilona
