Just had to share this!

I just had to share this

because it excited me beyond belief...

 This doll house made by the R.Bliss company

just sold on E-bay last night for...

drumroll please....

$2,000.00

For days it sat with 9 bids at $600

and then in the last hour it went in a frenzy

with 16 bidders chomping at the bit!

I have to say I was surprised

because it had quite a lot of paper damage

and the inside looked to have water damage  and quite a lot of staining on the first floor.

Why was I so excited?

A few years ago I was at a favorite antique shop

and spied a small dollhouse with lithographed paper

decorations.

It just spoke to me and I had to have it.

It was $45 and that was a lot to me but it just seemed so special.

It has been sitting in my living room cabinet for the last few years on display.

It is not as large as the one above

but it is excellent condition compared to the others I have been able

to find online.

The funny thing is Pinterest helped me find

out more about the little dollhouse.

Someone had pinned an exact picture of the one I own

and I followed the link to learn some bits and pieces about the

Bliss Dollhouse company.

I will share with you in my next post

 pictures of my little gem

and a tad of history about the company.

I hate to part with her

but

 I will have to put her up for auction.

The awful economy has put a freeze on the job 

Mr.Keeper was just hired for.

We don't know when or if he will start the job now.

Bills have to be paid and maybe this was why the little

gem came into my life for a brief time.

To enjoy and then pass on to someone else who appreciates it.

 

 Come back to see the darling townhome

and her fabulous interior!

Happy Thursday everyone!
