This was a fun swap to put together for my partner on swap bot. We had to assemble '10 pieces of ephemera and smash bits that represent the month of March."
Of course I thought of St Patrick's day but beyond that I had to get creative!
1. something on a stick day (washi tape flags)
2. 1st map published (die cuts from an old map)
3. 1st day of Spring (die cut flowers and leaves)
4. St. Patrick's day (assorted green things)
5. 1st paper money (board game money)
6. Dr. Seuss's b-day (ribbons)
7. Music in our schools month (music sheet die cuts)
8, Johnny Appleseed day (apple buttons)
9. National sing out day (music ribbon and button)
10. easter (handmade/hand painted diecut and crocheted cross, stamped punchouts)
I also wanted also included a handmade washi tape banner, some 3-d stickers I thought she might like.
My favorite Christmas gift was an upgrade to PhotoShop CS4. It's kinda hard to photograph, so this will have to do. The mug came from Target, and of course I bought it with the 7 Days Group in mind. ;-)

PERSONAL FUN FACT written by my sister: My Pepere started to put this furniture together in the early 90s to furnish a dollhouse that I inherited from a friend of his and Memere. I'm not sure where he got them--he may have gotten them with the actual house that their friend Flora left to me, or he could have gotten it secondhand. As we were missing items as far back as we know, it is likely that Flora purchased the set for the dollhouse and Pepere received it for me with the dollhouse. (The set was about ten years old when I inherited the dollhouse from Flora.) He never finished them, but I know for a fact he started. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the tall dark "cabinet" at his house when he was staining it! I definitely was over, playing in their basement, when he worked on some of these items. Somehow, after he passed away, the remainder of the punch out furniture, still on the plywood, wound up in our basement. Shelly and I unearthed it while we were cleaning the basement. Shelly is pretty sure she remembered seeing the sheets with most of these uncut (all the ones that are now floral) in Pepere's old woodworking area shortly before Memere moved in with us in fall 2000 and she thinks she remembers Dad scooping these up, with the intent to finish making it for me. My father...he was one to start and never finish projects (he liked to buy all the materials, then leave everything in a state of disarray). And the fall when Memere moved in, a lot of my childhood treasures wound up missing or in an unusable state. Dad disassembled my actual dollhouse to make it easier to store that fall (not sure why--it doesn't take up that much room) and left it on a shelf in the basement (we were missing a floor panel for quite some time). The punchout sheets wound up being near the disassembled dollhouse. The assembled furniture, on the other hand, wound up in a popcorn tin, along with my other furniture in this scale, and got taken out from time to time to use with Kelly dolls. At a glance, you can tell which pieces Pepere assembled and stained apart from the ones Shelly put together. The ones he did are in the traditional wood grain motif. These are the pieces of my childhood. The "cabinet" is actually meant to be a desk! There's a part of it that's supposed to pop out! I used it as a kitchen cabinet as a kid. The item beside it--as a child, I thought it was a very fancy chair. (I used it as a throne sort of chair.) However, it's actually meant to be a hall tree. A hall tree is like a coat rack, which explains why there are little hook like protrusions on it. I googled and vintage ones look just like this, with a seat. (Shelly thinks so you can put your shoes on.) It should be noted that the hall tree had arms, but one snapped off/disappeared, so Shelly trimmed the other down. The piano I knew was obviously a piano and the wooden box beside it often was utilized as a piano bench. Occasionally, it was employed as a toy chest (which is the intended use) but I had a fancier, larger toy chest with hinges that I used as a toy chest/storage chest and a treasure chest looking box, so I didn't need another chest. When this wasn't a piano stool, it was sometimes a nightstand, side table, or seat of sorts. The elegant side table I often used in the kitchen, but sometimes in the living room or bedroom (as a nightstand). I can't believe the bed survived all this time! It fell apart many years ago and the fact that both pieces survived and Shelly was able to reunite them is astounding. I used this bed a lot. When I was really little (first grade) I used my dollhouse for my Bambi McDonald's toys to live in, but when I was a little older (definitely before I had Molly in third grade), my Madeline doll lived in it. She couldn't fit any of the beds I had. But I wanted her to be forced to be my Georgette figurine's servant, so Madeline got the REALLY small bed (not pictured here because it wasn't from this set) that she could only sit on and Georgette had this large bed--in which she sat and ordered Madeline to wait on her in. (This good guy as the servant to bad guy thing was a running theme with me as a child.) These pieces saw a lot of play until about fourth grade, when Madeline wound up more as a "doll" for Molly than her own little person. After that, I didn't play with this house as much as I used to. When cleaning our (scary) basement and making it our own (a process that took years to fully complete), Shelly planned on fixing up as much of my surviving furniture as she could and assembling/painting the items still on punch out sheets (all the floral items pictured here, and more that weren't workable). Part of what held us back is that, until we finished clearing out the area Dad wanted to turn into a bathroom downstairs, we were missing an entire floor panel from my dollhouse. In fall of 2017, our friend's dad helped us remove a large shower our dad never installed, so that we could finish cleaning out that section of the basement and put our plastic shelves for Barbie campers and such in there (because we needed to move it out of the laundry room due to the working wood stove being in that room). It was the last of the "wild places" we tamed in the basement. Having found the missing floorboard from my dollhouse, Shelly decided to start a dollhouse project. She began to assemble some of the pieces from this set. However, it was difficult--some of the punchout parts to items were missing or didn't fit together very well. She got discouraged, took a break, and after a while, the project was forgotten. In 2023, we found some cool dollhouse furniture/accessories on Amazon Vine and the dollhouse project was brought up again. Shelly decided to paint her childhood dollhouse, which Dad made, in a groovy floral pattern with vivid colors. She decided that, since it would be dull to stain all of this wood grain, to paint it groovy! That's why you can easily spot the items Shelly painted compared to the more traditional ones assembled and decorated by Pepere. Some of these pieces had already been put together back in 2017, but they were painted with the ones she assembled in 2023. Apart from the colors, these pieces might not match others made from the same set. For one thing, not all the pieces included in the punch out sheets made it all the way to the painting phase. Some of it, like the dining room table parts, were nowhere to be found and may have been missing when Pepere obtained the punch out set (which I still strongly suspect he got with my dollhouse, from his friend Flora). And the chairs are actually meant to be split into different "rooms"--one was intended for a desk chair and the other eight were meant to be split between two different (missing) tables. Shelly painted the chairs pink and green to look like watermelon. The bathroom components--sink, tub, and toilet--all made it to the assembly phase, but are not pictured here because Shelly didn't like the way they looked--too many gaps, and thought they'd look weird painted. (Plus we didn't have little metal fixtures to make them look more real.) We are also missing the rocking horse because the pieces broke when Shelly tried to punch them out. Shelly opted to paint all the bedroom furniture green and purple. I think this combo might be my favorite of the ones she decided to use. I love the two little beds and would greatly have enjoyed them if they'd been assembled when I was a little girl. There are actually three nightstands--one for each bed (counting the big bed that is not painted with flowers). One is missing the "drawers", which don't actually open, because they weren't anywhere to be found when Shelly was assembling the furniture. The slightly wider item that looks like a nightstand is actually a laundry hamper. So cute! The green and purple dresser thing with a bit of a lip is made from leftover pieces that didn't go with anything we had all the parts to assemble. Shelly fashioned it using spare parts. I think it is very charming. I'd have used it as a dresser or perhaps baby changing table. Or as added counter space in a kitchen or a place to put supplies (bathroom supplies, bedroom supplies, dishes, etc). Shelly accidentally assembled the wardrobe upside down, so it doesn't stand quite right. It's also supposed to have a mirror backing. The little washstand shoes the era these pieces are intended for--it's like something out of American Girl catalogs, a table to put a bowl for washing oneself on. I'm really thankful to have the two living room seating options. The floral fabric couch I had as a child had to be thrown away in summer 2023 because I tried to clean it and, as it turns out, most of the components were cardboard. The cute little sofa here is such a sweet little replacement for it and I LOVE the big lounge chair! It's awesome! (It also makes me think of a deck chair.) Last but not least, the blue and orange kitchen furniture--The cabinet has some gaps in it, but I honestly don't think Shelly did a bad job. I know lots of the stuff Pepere put together had little gaps too. It actually reminds me of the cabinet-that-is-meant-to-be-a-desk that Pepere put together and stained. I LOVE the sink! Like, how cute is this sink? I actually used several of these pieces--the chairs, the sink, etc--before Shelly painted them in our "My Story Snow White" photo because I thought the wood grain would really suit (I wanted it to look like the Bikin dwarf cottage.). I'd have really enjoyed the skinny shelf as a kid. Not that I had that many little items to put on it, but still. And I like the other thing...I think it's supposed to be a stove? Or maybe just a very odd countertop? There's also the little thing with faux drawers that I think is a hutch. Super charming. The short cabinet is odd to me. Firstly, because it's got no back. Second, it's the sort that I think is supposed to hang on a wall--which I could easily do with putty, if it had a back! These pieces here probably aren't super helpful if you're looking to identify dollhouse furniture (especially because everyone's probably came out looking a little different). However, I thought they were interesting to post, not just because they do reflect punch out kits for dollhouses that were popular in their time, but also because of the family history associated with them. This project was started by my Pepere in the 90s and finished by my sister 30 years later!
