Filling A Mini House With Mini Things Found Over Years! Start To Finish!

This week we finally dress a tiny tin lithograph Marx dolls house we bought at a Toy Fair (for only £10) quite a long time ago! We have been collecting the tiny 24th scale items for years like Christmas cracker charms to tiny sausages. The occupants are a little eccentric too! Come with us from start to finish as we make things and furnish this teeny tiny tin house!
If you would like to see us doing some different things pop over to our other channel "Mudlarking With Kit + Caboodlers" - / @mudlarkingwithkitcabo...

I’m in Chicago. I went to LensCrafters’s for new glasses, trying to explain to the guy that I make jewelry I need glasses for reeeaaally close up. He goes I sew six scale doll clothes with mine. Yadda yadda- we both watch and love your channel!! Couldn’t believe I found someone in the wild who likes things I like. I was bowled over. We talked about mudlarking (we don’t have that in the US) and your mudlarking house. We talked about how you guys will pick up a random thing and know exactly what it’s meant to be- like who knew meat lockers were a thing? And other bits we couldn’t even remember. I was fully jumping up and down in excitement right there in LensCrafters’s.

That’s so sweet 🙏 kindred spirits !

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Oh what a beautiful moment. Such a great story, thank you for sharing this. I’m sure that you spent the rest of the day walking on clouds. Fantastic ❤

[@hellofoodiebeauties]

I don't know if you also watch them but there's another mom and daughter duo who mudlark and make things with their finds... their channel is called Northern Mudlarks.

The 1950's ❤ A simpler life ...

[@sapphonymph8204]

Mr. Duck might be a doctor, a ''Quack doctor ''

[@llcleary]

I think Mr. Duck works in a cracker (“quacker”) factory.

[@alisonalder7317]

ouch!!!!! 😂

[@suzanne529]

Chiroquacker!

[@papabear2515]

The little white item is a dishwasher, I believe. Love your videos! Kathleen, USA

[@michelehood8837]

Yep, I agree - that’s a dishwasher 👍

[@tracybeil4625]

Your house is very sweet. You need a lazysusan to set it on. Then you could turn it easily. ❤ ❤🇺🇸

[@1finepieceofglass]

Mr. Duck should be in billing 😂

[@brendaknight2352]

When I was a little girl in the 1970's, we would go visit my grandma and she had old cigar boxes full of tiny gum ball machine toys full to the rim of just amazing toy from years and years of collecting. I'd spend hours playing with these items....

[@bonnieharris4538]

Aw x

[@jessaglenny]

It's in amazing condition. Absolute bargain for a tenner!

[@bonnerdebbie]

A dishwasher! Absolutely adorable!!! Thank you!

[@pattykelly6621]

Very good. Well done! I was thinking some kind of dryer

[@terriworley5267]

The doggie with his nose in the air can smell the bacon!

[@JA-px7dp]

Thought I couldn't love this house anymore until you introduced Mr. & Mrs. Duck and Chicken. I feel transported into a children's book📘! Hope you both 👩‍❤‍👩 know how much you are truly appreciated.

[@graceh8866]

Too sweet and lovely love the chicken Mrs Peckham and the duck Mr Waddellton 🤣🤣🤣😂😂💕💕💕

[@r.vancil129]

I do love the hen and duck as residents, but if you want, I also have a human doll that I think would be perfect for this little house. She's the right size and time period and was a "dime store" doll. She's yours for the asking.

[@louisecon1664]

Just a suggestion for the tin house. Gluing flat magnets to the fridge, stove, and washer. Love your videos

[@RadonCrow]

Total perfection. I feel like Ms. Chicken and Mr. Duck could be called the Fowlers. Fowler Family Cottage. And I think I would call the poodle Periwinkle.

[@iansuehooper7542]

Liked your choice of the Atomic themed material Fleur. We remember that kind of design when growing up in the sixties. Cute, colourful bungalow.

[@user-du7nx5do2d]

I think it is just too sweet. I thought the white thing was a stove but what do I know about kitchens I try to avoid them. 😂😅

[@chiapagringa]

I remember playing with my tin house as a child. Your cushions, table cloth, and rug turned out to be so adorable!

[@mareeholt7622]

The washing machine is a twin tub with separate spin dry space. You had to move the clothes by hand into the spinner.

[@Kristen_Marie]

Hello, I believe the washing machine should be turned around so the red pipes face the wall. And yes, the white appliance is definitely a dishwasher 😊. The food on the kitchen table is adorable.

[@user-fc6tg7hr5i]

I enjoy these doll house videos more then I can say, I am reliving my childhood and love the memories

[@cherylrafuse3046]

I love the inhabitants, precious

[@thesehandsart]

Love that you can see the goose through the front window 😂❤😂 lovely Fleur!

[@jeriannroberts1816]

Isn't it fun to be a little girl again. Only the sufficiency is better this time around. ❤

[@lorisusanelroy5225]

SO cute! I love that extra-mini-gnome...

[@pattykelly6621]

I love the characters moving into the house. I just looked them up. I found a set if 15 in good condition. Selling for between $35 and $58 EACH! Hang on to those toys in your cereal kids!

[@user-to9ef1xj3m]

I love the duck in the window, 😊

[@grettagirl2884]

The pan of bacon could also go on the stove burner to give you more room to see the tablecloth 😊!

[@debcarroll8192]

I think the elephant is a teapot without its lid. I love the mid century furniture!

[@maureengauvin1768]

Or perhaps elephant is a creamer - cream pours from Ellie’s trunk?

[@livingwithjane0654]

Fleur: "What business would a duck be in? ...water filtration." 😂😂😂😂 LOL ❤️

[@jojosmumdorothy2829]

🎉brilliant condition 🎉

[@Mary-mv2kn]

Oh how wonderful. Do you know what i like the most about dollhouses? Is filling them with most adorable tiny things. This was fun to watch and be a part of ladies.❤❤❤

[@gailbrandwood9134]

Absolutely loved seeing you arrange the tin house, since I started watching your channel I have bought a dolls house and started collecting things to put into it , thank you for the inspiration 💖

[@Sky-cz9lj]

When you first started my mind went to the old cartoon called the Jetsons lol. I had a tin doll house when I was a little girl, I loved it. I didn't know they made them as small as your tiny treasure, but I sure enjoyed you dressing it up. I also think your occupants are perfect.

[@cherylgilson8034]

Mr. Waddleton is off to work. His line is accounts payable, bills. Mrs. Peckham is off to work in the Church Charity Shop before meeting Mrs. Cluckingford for tea.

[@deehowe8650]

I was so invested, i kept thinking, please turn the elephant around to face the room 😄🐘

[@okskookumbabe]

So fun!!! I love the gnome and the homeowners!

[@sandybuchart6017]

I think the piece in the kitchen is a dishwasher ! It's beautiful !

[@edie-bleubird6812]

He'd make a good doctor of quackers!

[@merahertel6256]

Love it! I would draw a slot on one of the pig's backs and make a piggy bank out of him. 🐖 The chicken and duck are adorable 😊

[@lauraviney8831]

I love watching your mudlarking and the dollhouse videos. It's so calming to me watching you put stuff together. Absolutely loves this video❤

[@saramorgan6638]

I love how you can see the bird through the front window. How wonderful it all is!

[@releasingendorphins232]

I enjoyed watching you decorate this little humble abode so much. It is my favorite of all the houses I have seen. Me. And Mrs. Duck are precious. And so are you and Kate. Thankyou, Thank you, Thankyou❤❤❤

[@pegsvintagethings6222]

On top if the stove where the burner is missing put a tiny cutting board.

[@jonihenry8124]

The sliding cupboard is a bookcase. It had little groups of plastic books in solid colors. I still have the bookcase and piano somewhere. My house was a 2 story but I don't know what happened to it.

[@gailbrandwood9134]

Hello again, I just had to rewatch this video , I think people like us who like anything tiny were Borrowers in a previous life 😅, can't wait for next week ✨

[@bonnieharris4538]

I am a reincarnated borrower; there's no question!😂

[@bonnieharris4538]

What tablecloth fits perfectly flush and doesn't overhang a touch, as your atomic one does? It's fine. It's more than fine; it's gorgeous ❤

[@bonnieharris4538]

@miniatureworldofkitandcaboodlers I just had an idea!... toy car; jeep/suv style; will have a large radiator grill; snap that off and put it over the damaged bit of your kitchen unit where clearly there was a griddle or a draining board; one of the two!

[@bonnieharris4538]

What was the thing painted on the back wall that you've covered up with a piano? My guess; being in the lounge/ family room was record player, but idk.

[@bonnieharris4538]

Do you ever use Blutac Sticky Dots? I'm NOT proposing Blutac that would look awful sticking out everywhere; but their Sticky dots are circular, transparent, much more discreet and imo, just as sticky! And fairly reasonable value as well.

[@annarem4197]

I had one, well my oldest sister did and it was passed down. We live in Erie Pennsylvania, USA where the Marx factory was located. Thanks for the memories ❤

[@jennisharp4761]

I had this exact dolls house when I was little It brought back so many memories. I loved it.

[@moyrakeatings7878]

Me too - and I'd QUITE forgotten about it till I saw this!

[@JJ-qu2xg]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Took me back on my own trip down memory lane. My friend had one of these and i spent time playing with it . Just wonderful hence i messaged my friend to tell her about it.

[@georgiaware3248]

Hello Fleur & Kate oh my Fleur you have the Patience of a Saint ❤ teeny tiny pillows 💕 & teensy rug, reminding me of lets work on my Dollhouse😂Your so Blessed ✨🙋‍♀️🍪🌄

[@TheAmber52]

Adorable little house, perhaps the washing machine should turn the other way as the red things look like pipes. You have done a lovely job with such a small house Fleur❤

[@kathymoreaux9467]

You have made one of my dreams come true! I always wanted a tin doll house like this when I was little and still do! I love everything about it especially the occupants! You have brightened my day! ❤

[@valeriacamposdasilveira2735]

Absolutely lovely teeny tiny house all furnished with small enchanted things!! ❤❤

[@tlfreeland7941]

I love the little gnome. 😁👍🤍

[@sherriemetcalf7120]

So cute, and creative! Really fires the imagination! Fleur, your hands look so young, like the hands of a 20 year old! Must be something special in the mud in the UK! 😁 Love you ladies! ❤

[@mdeysenroth]

The elephant is a bit big for a cup; I think it is actually a teapot. I love all of this, but my favorite thing is actually the tint gnome! I just love him!

[@vickinoeske1154]

I love the metal dollhouses. There's something so charming about them.😊❤

[@vickihiggins6328]

So glad to see you add an elephant cup to your decor. Elephants are my favorite. I have collected elephant figurines since 1978 and I have so many, but never get tired of seeing them. Ty, Vicki from USA.

[@magsu]

When I was a very small girl, I saw a tin house just like this one in Fenwick's toy department in Newcastle on Tyne. I wanted it so much! I did get a dolls house later, but I never forgot the little tin house! Yours is absolutely charming and watching this was a lovely nostalgic trip down memory lane. Thank you x

[@sf55514]

The elephant could be to pour cream or tea. I liked the fabric as well. Thank you for sharing with us. Very enjoyable.

[@twobrokeguyz1214]

I love it, very cozy. Mrs. Chicken and Mr. Duck are very cute.

[@jeannienash5249]

❤Luv ya bunches @Kate and @Fleur❤

[@Siennaflower]

Adorable!!! The inhabitants are perfect!! ❤

[@kayk8123]

Could the little elephant be a watering can?! Water would come out the trunk/spout maybe. What an adorable teeny tiny scale hoise. I actually remember seeing these as a child of the 70's. Great job!! ❤🏡

[@danisterre1205]

In love with your videos 🥰❤️🥰❤️

[@moonspirit6555]

A dishwasher definitely

[@anitaford6559]

I have to say this is my favorite doll house. I had one with two floors in the late sixties with the plastic furniture. My mom had to put the house together they came un assembled. They were very popular here in the states back then. I hope you can find a television. Mine had a floor model.

[@rhondafirestine-gz4he]

Flour, wonderful job of it. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@margaretlynch1494]

🙋‍♀️❤️. Adorable! So fun😊

[@zeegervanroemburg9146]

How lovely your tiny house looks! The way you talk about the little things, I love it! The duck and the chicken really belongs there! Fleur ,well done!❤❤

[@nuss1e]

Could the Blue Poodle be called Bluedle? 😂😂 thank you for the video. I'm amazed that the metal houses dont rust😊

[@vickinoeske1154]

You did a tremendous job decorating that sweet adorable dollhouse. Love all of the extra tiny things.❤😃

[@janetkidder5505]

As it’s a 1950s cottage it’s totally acceptable that Mr Duck goes off to the office while Mrs Hen stays home on the clutch !

[@TheShowgirl25]

Furnishing a 1960s dollhouse effectively is super hard. Good job on the fridge. Try filling that up in 1/24!

[@tself624]

The windowbox that had the flower missing is from a Playmobil set..... my granddaughter plays with our Playmobil farm that my sons had 25 years ago when they were little and we have a windowbox in our set just like yours, with the flowers intact. Loved this video, brought back lots of memories of my childhood!

[@sandralane1923]

I’m So glad that you showed a tin house. One of my childhood memories was trying to put together the house and the furniture, You had to put the tabs into the slots😅

[@tinyTears]

How fantastic that you have managed to collect all the fantastic things to put into your adorable 1950 house and I love the way you have staged it well done Fleur .

[@cathyratliff398]

Such a beautiful little house, you do such a wonderful job decorating and arranging the wee little tiny treasures. The little house makes me happy looking at it 💕

[@kokoboo2654]

Elephant is a creamer pourer, white thing looks like a dishwasher, the food is adorable, so many small objects...cute. very creative! ❤...great job!❤❤

[@lovelyskull3483]

I love this wee house. Your voice is so lovely Fleur which made this video so wonderful and soothing. Thank you very much. Cheers and take care.

[@MatterMeetsAntimatter]

BRILLIANT❣️ @Fleur, this is absolutely precious; I smiled throughout the video and can’t help but admire your creativity and attention to detail! Water filtration is quite important work!! ❣️💕😁💛

[@davidstevens6463]

Brilliant , soooooo cute, 😊Sam😊

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

how absolutely tiny everything is! love duck and chicken family. my favorite thing is that miniscule GNOME!

[@leereadman9069]

YOU HAVE DONE A BRILLIANT JOB. I COULD MOVEIN MYSELF, ITS SO SWEET THANK YOU, AUSTRALIA

[@judishubert6016]

Fleur, I loved this! I had a large two story house like that. I also used a washing machine like that. Oh so long ago. Enjoy you and Kate so much. Thank you for all your adventures!!!

[@sticklebacksummer]

Absolutely charming.

[@tonifitz6831]

I think you should make some tiny dolls. Thr house is lovely. I vote for ppl occupents,

[@jackiejenner446]

As I watch this I am making a bird's nest for my 1/12 scale dolls house chimney which is fiddly enough so it is lovely to see you work and the challenges you have. Just beautiful

[@tonifitz6831]

I was thinking an early dishwasher.. this is my fav house so far. X

[@cherylgilson8034]

Would it be easier to take the sink unit and refrigerator out, stick the pans on with the wax, and then put them back in the house? Everything is so tiny. The finished house is adorable!

[@marymeyer8185]

This looks just adorable!

[@moyrakeatings7878]

PS now adding Tacky Wax to my shopping list!

[@darnprecious1]

So darling

[@valeriacamposdasilveira2735]

Adorable!!!!❤

[@FlorenceFrazier2002]

Thank you for sharing! I have never seen a metal doll house. It is adorable!

[@alisonalder7317]

Wonderful! The fabric at the start reminded me of the kitchen table we had when I was a child in the early 60's. The duck at the end could be Peter Duck, ex seaman and now working, as fleur says, in water filtration, or perhaps at the hydroelectric power station.

[@cdmikie]

Nice to hear some history of those pieces, thank you for sharing.

[@cynthiaroark1778]

Cute beyond 🥰 cute!

[@fairyacorn4854]

I was thinking dishwasher fo rthe thing you did'nt know what it was. The elephant would have been a teapot missing his lid. I love love love Mrs Chicken as you know chickens are one of my favorites. I only have four now but they lay well. Stay safe and looking forward to the borrowers next week. xx

[@peggyjenkins5525]

Omg I love that little house is totally incredibly beauty 💙💙

[@northlondonlass1498]

Adorable. I love how you put it all together. Really makes me smile x
