One of my favorite gifts.

He has one that has the same face of the baby boy doll for his daughter and has been desperately searching for another one for his younger daughter. It will bring him a lot of joy if he could have this second doll. His idea is to take them and the dolls on backpacking/adventure trips and take photos at each location. They are absolutely in love with this doll. If you are willing to sell him, could you please please please let me know?? Thank you!!!!unspoken.truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603881083086421075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300743333316112399.post-59693946399212669512011-01-20T18:55:03.685-05:002011-01-20T18:55:03.685-05:00Thanks a lot, Laryssa!

My classrooms as a child were very industrial-looking; and the decorations (living or not) varied greatly across teachers. And we lived in the city, so no real ramblings, unfortunately! :)callsmallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075466362820258016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300743333316112399.post-65618261750210769012011-01-07T08:23:38.946-05:002011-01-07T08:23:38.946-05:00Happy New Year, Chris!

I love this school room - how wonderful that you can buy it, diepuppenstubensammlerin can identify it, and you both benefit from each other :-)<br />It looks like some of the classrooms I had as a kid - although we never had window boxes of flowers - more like succulents in tins, and beans in glass jars with blotting paper, and maybe a jar of flowers some kid had brought in, plus things we picked up on a nature ramble.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300743333316112399.post-60116435294615263482011-01-06T06:49:22.914-05:002011-01-06T06:49:22.914-05:00Thanks, Drora!

I used to have a really great schoolhouse dollhouse as a kid that I now greatly regret giving up when i was forced to move a year ago; I've just now gotten back into miniatures, but am buildingn dollhouses out of carboard boxes.

I must show it to Mari, she really wants me to make a school for mine and hers doll children. And so fun it was from FAO Schwartz! I have gained a fondness for that store after our visit there :-)<br />So sad to hear you couldn't visit your family due to the snow. So good that you were able to look at the bright side of things despite the change of plans. Since I had to work this year my Christmas wasn't exactly like I wanted it to be either, but at least we got family visiting. And like you, I have thought of everything I actually have to be thankful for and infact been very content :-) Using all my best tableware and silver at Christmas is also a great joy for a materialist like me :-)Pubdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437757001376468255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300743333316112399.post-61704378698787554572010-12-31T09:21:08.511-05:002010-12-31T09:21:08.511-05:00Thanks, Neomig!

I am quite convinced that you bought a Bodo Hennig school room from the beginning of the 60s, exclusively produced for the American market imported by Schwarz. The USA were Hennig's main export country and for such an important customer he designed special items. A school room with an American map would be typical and the making of the room box reminds me very much of his early 60s roomboxes - the exquisite craftmansship of the windowsill with the flowers is also a hint. I could send you a close photo shot of Bodo Hennig flowers of 1964 and you could compare them - just as another proof. As there is no catalogue or any information of Hennig's American product line I am so happy to add this piece of information in my personal Bodo Hennig reference material heap!<br />By the way I also envy you the Caco teacher doll a lot - I have many Caco dolls in my collection but not one with this company tag.diePuppenstubensammlerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09681409878075250159noreply@blogger.com
