Thank you so much!

[@maureenbright5432]

I AM INSPIRED! Thank you so much Susan Dossetter and beloved Queen Rachel! I am so grateful for both your passionate scholarship and your wonderful playful whimsy. I was SO impressed by the meticulous precision of Stan Greg or the spooky exactitude of Julien Martinez but to date my favourite remains A Palace for Wednesday, Alice Hudson's precious gift to John Darcy Noble. YOU though, amazing Susan, have so beautifully combined imaginative freedom with historical integrity that I am both enchanted and awestruck.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Inspired is what we WANT! Have a wonderful day, Maureen! XO

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Glad you like them!

[@Hippidippimahm]

I hope there’s catalogs of well-lit photos of the original silk dress (and any other clothes) that way they can be recreated in real silk/wool/etc in colors as close as possible to the originals. Thank you for preserving this history, it’s priceless.

[@alenahawke475]

Lovely...❤

[@melissagunn9267]

Wow! This is breathtaking. So magical it just transports us to another world and time! Thanks so much Susan and Rachel for sharing this. I've never seen anything like this so it was a huge treat. Will Susan be able to share other doll houses in her collection? That would be so awesome if she could!!! Thanks again so much ladies! (:

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Our pleasure! We will be releasing more of her Summer Fling videos in the future.

[@TheMahadear6]

I learned so much from Susan Dossetter about dolls houses from the eighteenth century! I have always loved dolls, dollhouses, and miniatures! I have liked and subscribed to your channel, and will watch some more of your videos. Thank you for sharing this video! If Susan Dossetter likes miniature books, I make miniature books, in different sizes. ~Janet in Canada

[@barbaraness4507]

Antique miniature books

[@tamarab.7151]

in the 1700s they didn't throw the chamber pots on the street any more

[@xiloaduarte8505]

Blessing's. Thank you for the attention to detail on your work, it is really amazing. I'am Greg. My wife says that you might be a good source of information as to a early 1900's photograph on pure silk. Is there a way we can connect to show you a picture of our project?

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

She is on Facebook and you can reach out to her in the Summer Fling Facebook Group if you registered for the event. Good luck with your endeavors!

[@katejohnson-bafia3644]

We're the dolls always way too big for the house scale? Because that one surely is.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Yes. Scale wasn’t a thing back then.

[@katejohnson-bafia3644]

@@RachelHoffmanDolls well thats just hard for my ocd to deal with...hahaha

[@chris-q7c4x]

I admire her so much for her knowledge of dolls houses. But please stop spreading the myth of 17th and 18th century corsets being laced tightly. In those centuries corset served to boost the best upward not shape the waist. As they did in the 19 th century
