Vintage Wolverine Dollhouse

-
I have been having so much fun! I don't think I ever had a dollhouse growing up. We had barbies and clothes, I don't remember any dollhouses. I found this one this weekend at a great yard sale. It even came with some furniture. I have been arranging furniture all weekend. It's not in perfect condition, but I'm sure it has a few years on it. I intend to list it in my etsy shop, but I thought I had better be sure I can find a box for shipping first. I've been cleaning windows (frames), mopping floors, washing furniture, just having a big time.




I love the color of the roof, and shutters.


I believe it might be a Colonial Mansion, I do know it's made by Wolverine.

It even has a garage with a door that works.
There are some slight bends to the metal, they might be adjustable.



A nice bedroom, and nursery.




A sewing room with sofa, and juke box!




The kitchen needs a few things.


And a nice living room, dining area, just waiting for someone to come and play.

    Ohhh. My grandmother had this exact dollhouse when I was growing up. I imagine this is what it would have looked like had I not been the ninth grandchild to play with it.

It's nothing fancy but the frogs are enjoying it.  My son helped get the rocks sorted out.  We've changed it a bit from what is was.  No waterfall, we might have a small amount of water somewhere in the back left corner, just haven't decided yet.  This is my view from my kitchen window, I've missed it!

Franciscan Fine China -Silver Pine

I found this beautiful china at an antique sale a few weeks ago.  As with all of my items I did some research to find out the history.  The Gladding, McBean & Co., started out in 1875 making sewer tile . Thru the years they acquired several potteries and expanded their lines, located in California.  Originally the dinnerware was sold as Franciscan Pottery and consisted of bright earthenware in the Mexican folk style.  The name was associated with the Franciscan monks.  In the late 1930's the name was changed to Franciscan Ware for a more upscale image. The Fine China line was introduced in 1942.  This changed to Franciscan Masterpiece China after 1958 and production continued in the United States until 1978.   These dishes have a light turquoise background with a pine needle and  white pine cone design.  The turquoise goes well with the creamy white and silver detail.  I have started listing several of these i...

I love the look of this enlarged envelope for art, found on the Southern Living site , and using an envelope from a relative adds to it.. “This is one of my favorite things,” says George of the framed envelope in the dining room. It was addressed by George’s great-grandmother to her uncle, George’s namesake, in 1917. He found it tucked away in his grandfather’s dresser. A local printer scanned and enlarged the envelope.
