Wonderful. I fell in love with dollhouses when I was a child, didn’t get one until my lates fifties. It’s never too late & you’re never too old for dolls.

I also fell in love with miniature houses and dolls when I was a child, and was gifted my first dollshouse when I was 10, and was so thrilled. I've loved them ever since, and am always happy to see collections. Many thanks to Susan for sharing her wonderful collection, as well as the history of dolls houses! And thank you Rachel for finding such kind and generous doll people who love sharing their knowledge!

This lady is wonderful, she really knows her subject and this cabinet house is beautiful. It's kind of in the nature of dollhouses to be continually redecorated, personally, I am building a medieval house/diorama and you learn a lot simply by trying to remain true to the period!
@RachelHoffmanDolls10 ай бұрын
It's truly amazing to meet someone so dedicated and knowledgeable in their craft. Staying authentic to a period, especially one as intricate as the medieval era, takes patience and passion. Your dedication to creating a historically accurate diorama is commendable. Keep up the wonderful work and always cherish the journey of learning and creativity! 🏰✨😊

Ive just found this video and was enthralled by its contents. I love dolls houses, have two which are unfinished and this will inspire me to get moving and add to them. Fascinating tour of this cabinet house with some absolutely divine little pieces. As for the miniature memorial made with human hair, well it is just exquisite and whilst terribly sad and moving, it is delightfully made. What a joy to own such houses. Thank you.

This is really awesome:)!! I LOVE Dollhouses and I never knew that the first Dollhouse was in 1598:)!! I also never knew that Dollhouses were originally for young Ladies to "learn to keep house":)!!! This Cabinet of Curiosities is a beautiful work of art with so many lovely miniatures:)!! I sadly no longer have my plastic Victorian looking Kusan Dollhouse from my Childhood, but I used to collect reproductions of antique dollhouse furniture that I put in this plastic Victorian Dollhouse, many of which I still have today:)!!! My Kitchen in my Dollhouse was the most historic with a miniature iron stove which was made with iron, a wooden "sink" with no faucets to wash dishes, and a lovely wooden table with chairs:)!! Also, my Dollhouse had a attic, which I put a miniature reproduction of an antique sewing machine, a miniature production of a wooden sea man's chest that I filled with white linens for my dolls, and a beautiful Coca Cola tray that I put many miniature wine bottles as well as Coca Cola bottles:)!! I was very proud of my Dollhouse when I was a Child:)!!! Thank you for sharing Susan's Cabinet and Susan is a very good teacher:)!! I especially enjoyed this video because this has combined my love of Dollhouses, Dolls, and history:)!!!!

I just pitched my first dollhouse. It’s a Thomas Pacconi Victorian style house. Not antique, but really great. I found these tiny porcelain dolls to go in it. I have your channel to thank for rekindling my love of dolls and miniatures.

Thank you so much. That was absolutely fascinating and breathtaking. I could listen to Susan for hours and hours her passion and knowledge are exceptional and infectious. I don’t know much about dolls or doll houses and just stumbled on your channel. I am learning lots and am hooked! I would love to learn more about the little dolls shown in this video. Are they easy to collect and how can you spot an original. My dilemma would be that I would want to play with and dress them so that would perhaps devalue or damage them. I love historical clothing, household items etc but this is always a dilemma.

Love her presentation, passion, and attention to detail! Lots of knowledge. I just bought a doll house and watched The Miniaturist, and I've been exploring info on doll houses. Mine is by no means historical, although it is collectable. :)

Yes, I love their channel. Today I bought a $1 porcelain kitty, among other $1 pieces, and when I got home I realized it has a missing front foot. So either it stays that way (which is fine) or I use K&C's idea and either look for a suitable stone to glue on or make it a paw.. I keep looking for old doll house items and other small pieces- all on a small budget.
