Advantages: A detailed magazine for the collector Disadvantages: none
...They say that honesty is the best policy..so I will be honest !
At a local Car boot sale there was just under a dozen of the DollsHouse and Miniature Scene magazines in a pile all marked at 10p each !
Dollshouses fascinate me so I handed over my sweaty pound coin and bagged the lot.
The magazine is a very well known monthly publication that focuses on shows,books,craftsmen and the individual collector.
The magazine includes projects either in 1:12 or 1:24 scale ,among the projects there will be doll clothes to make,furniture,knitting or fine embroidery projects.
All the projects come with detailed instruction and high quality photographs of the finished article.
The magazine also states clearly where all the materials needed for any project can be obtained.
Much of the miniature work requires specialist materials to achieve...
Advantages: Well made, safe, robust Disadvantages: None that I can see
...My niece has a beautiful dollshouse called the Marlborough DollsHouse which is a John Crane Pintoy product ? in fact I wrote a review about it some time ago.
There are various sets of furniture available to fit in this, or indeed any other, dollshouse including bathroom, living room, kitchen, nursery and bedroom furniture.
Earlier this year she received the set of living room furniture which she loves playing with and it is so cute I just had to tell you about it!
Since I had no idea how much it cost I have just searched via Google and found the set ranging from £14.99 at Mail Order Express, to £13.95 at Amazon, down to just £12 at www.kidsrooms.co.uk where they also stock furniture for all the other rooms too! Incidentally the pictures of the items on this website are excellent and can be enlarged so that you can...
Advantages: A great feminist play written by a man. Disadvantages: none,
...When Ibsen created a Doll’s House he aimed to create it in a certain way. This structure was known as the well made play. Here are some examples of the format of the well made play and by looking at this list it is clear that A Doll’s House is of that nature.
The Well Made Play
1) The plot during a well made play is usually based upon a withheld secret, often about the hero or main character and when it is revealed, the story line changes.
2) The initial exposition of the revelation provides information about the action before the play but also about the future, the secret. It withholds the secret but also gestures towards it’s meaning also.
3) There are ups and downs in the conversation/ dialogue and the swapping of humour lead towards the secret being revealed.
4) The “obligatory" scene in which we...
Advantages: Traditional wooden construction, easy for children to play with Disadvantages: None for me
...When I was a little girl my dad made me a beautiful doll?shouse with leaded windows and all sorts of other bits and pieces. Sadly I sent it to our local children?s home when I grew out of it and often wished that I had kept it!
Recently, however, I have had the chance to ?play? with a superb traditional doll?shouse that made me wish I was a little girl again!
The doll?shouse in question is John Crane Pintoy Wooden Marlborough DollsHouse which is currently for sale at www.amazon.co.uk for £104.99. Well that was the price when I started this review but I have just been back to the Amazon site to check some facts and found that the sale is now over and the doll?shouse is back to its normal price of £129.99!
The house is described as a ?picturesque dolls' residence to house the Pintoy family?. It has six rooms set across three...
Advantages: great selection of food, good cheaper options, nice ambience Disadvantages: feeling rushed, rubbish veg selection
...The Doll' House Restaurant in St Andrews is a very popular restaurant among tourists, locals, students, and St Andrews very cosmopolitan transient community.
It is owned by Simon Littlejohn (of Littlejohn's restaurants) and Alex Knight, who I think have owned it for about 13 years together. The Doll's House Restaurant is the flagship restaurant of the group 'House Restaurants' - which also include - The Grill House (St Andrews), The Glasshouse (St Andrews) and The Riverhouse (Stirling). All of these restaurants have their own style, ambience, and each focuses on a particular genre of food.
The Doll's House is a bistro style restaurant which claims it focuses on Scottish cuisine with a French twist - which I think in the majority is true - but their Hungarian Goulash, and the Cantonese monkfish stirfry which I saw on the menu...
Advantages: excellent price, comes with furniture and doll's, good quality for what you pay! Disadvantages: tiny hinges make assembly a bit faffy.
...Last year my daughter joined a new nursery and fell in love with the wooden dollshouse they had. Deciding this would be a perfect Christmas present, I started having a look around.
My first port of call was my old trusty, ELC. They do stock a beautiful doll's house, unfortunately it's £100 price tag was really pushing my budget, especially because the doll's and furniture weren't included and had to be bought in sets ranging from £15-£25. My quick calculations priced the total cost of the doll's house, a set of doll's and the bare minimum amount of furniture to be bordering on £200.
I then saw an advert on TV for a Christmas catalogue with a doll's house for just £39.99. I looked it up on the website, and was impressed with how it looked. What swung it for me in the end was that it also included a set of 4 doll's AND 5 sets...
Advantages: complex characters Disadvantages: felt a bit suffocated whilst reading
...A DollHouse was the first of Ibsen's plays to create such a HUGE sensation and I think it is now perhaps his most famous play. It is my favourite Ibsen play. At the time when it was published, the play was highly controversial due to it's blatent criticicism of the standard Victorian marriage.
About the author
Henrik Johan Ibsen was a Norwegian playwright of the late 19th century. He brought to the European stage a whole new order of moral analysis that was placed against a very traditional middle-class background and developed with economy of action, powerful dialogue, and gusto thought.
Basically, Ibsen wrote for and about the middle class and life in the outskirts of cities and small towns. He focused completely on characters and psychological conflicts rather than dramatic situations. He is more character orientated and it...
Advantages: Good sound effects, lots of accessories Disadvantages: Quite heavy, expensive, nowhere to store accessories.
...My youngest daughter kept going on about the Barbie house where the toilet flushes and the doorbell rings, so for Christmas we got her the Barbie Totally Real House with Doll.
*PACKAGING*
The box had a flap which opened to reveal parts of the house, which is a good idea when you want to see what's inside the box. It even had a piece of velcro on the box to keep the flap closed. But when the box needs to be recycled anyway, it seems an unnecessary waste of card. Of course the box pictures all of the accessories included, with captions for the sound effects.
*UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY*
As with many toys these day, it took an age to unpack and assemble. Far too long to expect any child to wait on Christmas morning. But our daughter is fairly patient, and she did have other things to occupy her with, so this wasn't much of a problem...
Advantages: Robust, excellent quality, pretty, safe Disadvantages: You may feel that it is a bit expensive but you do get what you pay for

Earlier this year she received the set of living room furniture which she loves playing with and then for her birthday she received the set of bedroom furniture which she loves just as much! I thought I had better tell you about it in case it was useful as a Christmas present idea!

Advantages: Learning through play, durability, looks lovely! Disadvantages: Price can work out a lot
...I saw the Rosebud Dollshouse on a trip to ELC in November and knew I had to buy it for my 3 year old daughter who loves anything pink and girly. The house was £110 so I decided to go back after I had been paid, and to my delight when I did go back, it was on offer at £20 off, plus I had a voucher entitling me to 20% off any purchase over £50! I couldn't believe my luck and then I realised you also got a free bedroom set when you bought the house! I was over the moon, as it's rare you find something on offer that you intended to buy anyway!
On Christmas Day my daughter was over the moon with the house and totally disregarded all her other presents so she could play with her new house! The house was sold as seen and all the furnitures and dolls were sold seperately. This can soon bump the price up.
The house itself is on three floors...
