Mother Goose,   

This book has wonderful vintage illustrations by Margaret Evan Price. If you like the style of Mary Englebreit you will love these illustrations. They too have the simplicity and innocence of youth.

The perfect album for the young girl in your doll's house family. It will give her hours of pleasure, cutting out the six pages of clothes. The book includes ten vintage paper dolls with 22 outfits.  There is also a fold out page to stick other paper dolls on. There is also a cute Victorian cat scrap in the front and back cover.

Boy Clips, 
Vintage photos and clippings just for that boy in your miniature house.  There is a fold out detailed description of a vintage train and another of an old airplane and how it flies. Scraps collected just as a boy would have done in years gone by. Actual size is 24/32'x29/32"

My Toy Book,

girls and dolls
 


Girls and Dolls,  

This is an album containing eight beautiful  black and white photos of girls holding their dolls. I've been collecting these photos for years and it is nice to share them with you. One of the girl's dolls is in a buggy from the turn of the century. One younger girl is sitting in her rocking chair on the front steps looking like she was not to pleased to have to stop playing to have her photo taken.

100 Things a Girl Can Make
Shown at the top of this page with a mini girl enjoying it.
Repoduced from a vintage, 1923, activity books for girls. I have chosen 10 of the crafts and activities for each page. Your mini girl can work along with the illustrations to learn to make a fan, pom poms, pillows, and bunny calendar and a beaded cover for a milk jug, a book cover and other interesting crafts.




Science Book,

This book has illustrations from the popular Boy Mechanic magazines from 1913. There are eight very detailed illustrations of airplanes, a sail boat and other complicated mechanisms that will appeal to the young man in you miniature family. He will spend hours studying this book.
Before you know it he will be helping you make all sorts of interesting miniature scientific contraptions. You may need to build on an extra room, lol.

Circus, 
This is a shaped reproduction of a vintage children's book. Lots of images of clowns, lions and other memorable circus acts. It would look great in a children's room that was filled with bright, primary colours and circus motifs and balloons.
