I think that you've inspired me. I've always kept the gorgeous doll house furniture in boxes here in our home, so that they would be climate controlled. The porcelain doll mother and father are Rhett and Scarlett Butler. Thanks for energizing me to tackle this wonderful project, and for a peak at your lovely jewel. Happy New Year!
