Roll call for Lovecraft lovers!

There is a new miniature up for sale in my shop.  This time a made to order very special item: a set of papers from Miskatonic University!

The set includes a diploma with your chosen name and subject, a letter of acceptance, a registration card and a library card.  The cards will also bear your chosen name.

More dollhouses need diplomas in their walls, specially of an important and well-considered (if somehow dangerous for the mind) university!

Get them here!

Penny Dreadful Magazines!

I don't know how I did not think about this before!  What better way to capture the gothic literature from Victorian times than penny dreadfuls!

When I searched "Penny Dreadful" the first thing that popped up were links for the famous HBO series.  I wonder how many people actually know that penny dreadfuls were British weekly publications that costed a penny, and that were supposed to be about gory and bloody events.  Probably the most known penny dreadful is "Sweeney Todd, or The String of Pearls".  My first penny dreadful was, obviously, "Varney the Vampire".  Did you know that Varney had more than 500 episodes the first time it was published?  Talk about telenovelas!

As predicted, my lovely tenant asked for some copies for herself.  She is very fond of Varney.  She insists the poor soul is just misunderstood.

In any case, they are available now for sale in my shop, so go take a look and buy some.  If you have a Victorian home they are definitely a must!

A new book addition to the shop!

Which dollhouse would be complete without books?  And what better books that ones that were sold at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th?  And among those is Dracula, by Bram Stoker, of course!

Here is a lovely collection featuring 4 different covers for Dracula as they were when they were first released.  Each cover has been created using images from the original books.  All of them open, and the inside pages can be chosen as white or cream colored - so they can be new for a Victorian house or a rescued antique copy for a modern house.

These books were so much fun to make.  I myself have one of each in my dollhouse bookshelf!   Come and take a look!
