Meet Alice

Remember the Willowcrest house that I got? It was empty and dusty for such a long time. Nobody was interested in moving in (at least nobody the right size, Saphira!) and I was beginning to give up hope and redo it as a haunted mansion. Luckily for me and the house, this morning someone called to see it! Her name is Alice and I've taken pictures of her in the house, so you guys can come along.


"Hmm let's peek through the door."


"So this is the livingroom? It's big! Could be a lovely kitchen too you know."

"Let's go upstairs, I think I've seen enough of downstairs. Really dusty and messy and needs a lot of work. Maybe... well no... although..."



"This is supposed to be a master bedroom? Half the yucky carpet's still stuck on the floor! Rats wouldn't sleep here!"




"Well the bathroom is drafty! Can't imagine walking in here naked to take a hot bath hahaha!"



"It is quite spacious though... If I break down that wall under the stairs and close that up... Some vintage french tiles on that wall... And a window! With the tub underneath! And then a lovely windowsill with candles and books..."



"There's an attic too? I'd like an atticroom for my little girl to sleep and play in. You didn't know? I have a daughter, her name's Coral, she's from China and I love her to pieces."



"Oooohhhh wowwww this is big!! It's perfect!!"



"Look at the cute bay windows! I could make a seat in here where Coral can put her dolls and bears. Or maybe a kiddiekitchen, she's been nagging for one of those for ages."



"This bay window is huge! I can just see Coral playing and dancing here with her friends. I'll make some curtains with little flowers and there can be a teaparty or a dollhouse or...."


"I don't like this though. I could probably move this. Or break it out if I have to."











"Oh my look at that roof! And I thought the bathroom was drafty! I'm going to need your help on this one Lirael, but I am absolutely in love with the house. I'll take it!"

So there you have it: finally an occupant for the Willowcrest dollhouse! Looks like Alice and me are going to be friends, she's real sweet. I've also come up with a new name for the house, but that remains a secret for now, I still have to deliberate with Alice now that she's the tenant.

I've made a button to the left so you can always come back to this post in case you are wondering: Alice, Alice, who the..... ;)

  1. Oh, these photos are wonderful. I love Alice's hair and overalls. She seems like a fun person. Cannot wait to see how she's going to decorate the house.

  5. Thanks Kim! I made the overalls from a pattern I found online. It had to be altered though, I really didn't want her to look like a giraffe in elephants pants :) I don't know how good your french is, but I'll look up the link for you!
