Look at all that mail!

DH helped me finish Santa's desk on Sunday. He has a tiny drill set for blowing out carburettor jets (I think). Just the thing for the holes for the handles. I glued on the escutcheons and then DH put in the pins for the lid. Santa has lots of cards and letters from children around the world. He put his favorites on top of the desk.

Don't you love the husky? He has one pink eye and one blue eye.



The mirror is from a compact (like I ever used that). It is temporarily glued to a piece of cardboard until I can add a frame. The candlesticks are a recent purchase and need candles. I like the mirror on the mantlepiece, otherwise the items disappear into the wallpaper.


And here is the kitchen with a pot bubbling on the hot stove. Mrs. Claus left her coffeecake on the bread board on the stove, too. Hope it doesn't get burnt! She did such a nice job with the frosting and the cherries.

Plenty of wine in the hutch and more on the top with goblets ready. A layer cake has already been cut into, someone may have been celebrating!

Next item to build is a table. I have an idea for one, but may buy one and a chair.

I am still waiting for my doll pattern to arrive. I really want to make a Santa and Mrs. C. I like people in dollhouses, otherwise who is it for?
