It was one of two houses that came home with me that day.
I refer to this one as my plantation house.I think the red and green colors are perfect for Christmas.
Earlier this summer, a fellow miniaturist emailed me a copy of the original ad from the toy catalog.
During the last few months, the plantation house had been in my craft room but is now making a grand appearance on top of my china hutch.
Colorful trees and a miniature snow storm have settled around the house.
One of my favorite blow molds is keeping a watchful eye on the house.
Another Santa is on the roof waiting to deliver more presents.
Here's the big reveal during the day.
And during the night.
Because I think everyone should have a little miniature Christmas house of their own, I've made a Christmas room out of a cigar box for my Kim K. give-away. One of my favorite items is the hutch filled with Christmas cookies and presents.
Even Santa is peeking through the window.
Unlike big dollhouses, this one is easy to display and store.
In order to be entered in the giveaway, just leave a comment on this blog post.
Absolutely no strings attached! Past winners are always encouraged. This is a give-away for the pure joy of giving back to my blogging friends! Entries close at 8:00pm EST Sunday, December 8.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
The plantation looks wonderful! I especially love the doll in her holiday dress. She seems proud of her home!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course your little x-mas room is adorable! I don't know how you find the time...or those tiny things! :)
We got dumped on today!! A huge snow storm! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Your plantation house is so festive! Both day and night. What a great idea to decorate a cigar box as a miniature room - another project to put on my list :)
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog and look forward to each post. I always wanted a doll house but never had the room for a real one this would be perfect. Have a Merry Christmas!

The Plantation House was a wonderful gift for you. And someone finding the ad and sending it to you , must have been great to receive . . . The cigar box house is so cute. It must take hours to make all the little pieces.
ReplyDeleteI like the nighttime look from the Plantation House too . . .
Oh my! You never disappoint! The plantation house is amazing. The colors of it are so perfect to complement all your Christmas decorating. The cigar box is adorable. I love how you have Santa peeking in and all the treats on the hutch! I'm making notes so I can achieve this one day when I can start on my doll house. It's been so many years since I had my 1978 Van Buren doll house and I am almost afraid to start my big pink one; I don't why. I know once I get started, I'll be good. :) Maggie
ReplyDeleteYou are the queen!! You never fail to amaze me with your dollhouses, it's gorgeous!!!! Do you have a family for each house?

Kim, I love how you decorate your dollhouses for each holiday and I thank you for sharing them with us!
ReplyDeleteOh! I admire your dollhouses so much, Kim! I've yet to have one of my own so I'd love to win your little box one! So cute! Thanks for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you my husband's family built their own plantation house? 8 bedrooms! It was the pride of the family and town but sadly it burned to the ground after they had moved out. :(
Oh Kim your doll house is wonderful! What a magical display. Your holiday decorations are always so delightful. I always look forward to seeing what amazing things you'll come up with next.
ReplyDeleteThe reveal is amazing !!!!! How thoughtful of a reader to mail you the original ad, that is is heartwarming. I love your dollie's festive frock! The cigar shadow box is just incrediable , I just love reading about your adventures in miniature crafting.
ReplyDeleteMaddie would absolutely love the little doll house - how neat!!!
ReplyDeleteSO cute! I love it! And your plantation house is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI did win one of your Christmas miniature giveaways...but I'm greedy! Not really! I love the plantation house done up for Christmas...it looks almost like the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. If I found one it would be done "Nightmare Before Christmas" style...lol! You really have the touch with miniatures...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love that plantation house! I know it creates a festive air atop your china hutch. xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteThis is just way too cute!

Your little holiday house is adorable and so, so festive. A cigar box huh..the magic you can make in a cigar box!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh and I thought just having the Plantation home was amazing enough but the Christmas décor makes it more amazing. I've always wanted a doll house so winning your cigar box room would be a great start.
ReplyDeleteDonna
Your plantation house is just wonderful! Love how you used lights and light up décor so it has a totally different night look. Love your little house as well, such great details.
ReplyDeleteFeeling Merry reading lots of Christmas blogs! :) Pam
I love your dollhouses!! I have a couple I'm going to have to put snow on right now! I would love to win your little box. It's adorable!
ReplyDeleteAwesome dollhouse! Also very awesome snowy icicle like stuff the house is sitting on. I need to get me some of that. Hope you get the rink completed before the sky falls and you get ten feet of snow dumped on it!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and crafts. Everything is so warm and homey.
ReplyDeleteOh Kim, how exciting to be entered in your adorable Christmas box give a way! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Kim, you are just amazing with dollhouses!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThis little room is super cute and your dollhouse looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteOMGOSH- That plantation house is the most magnificent miniature house I have ever seen. I wish I could shrink down and fit into it. AND I did not know they made blow molds that small. So darned cute!
ReplyDeleteKim-I have won two giveaways this Fall so I won't sign up for this one but OMGosh- some person is going to be SOOO very thrilled to get chosen for that cigar box! They will LOVE it!
Blessings- hope you have had a good week- xo Diana
Wow this is incredible!!! Such a cute little dollhouse!
ReplyDeleteOH, I'm loving it, Kim! I didn't even mess with lights this year on mine, but I love the idea of putting the lights underneath the snow! So easy- I may have to reconsider that. My dollhouse was the very last thing I did, and I was pretty pooped out at that point- ha!
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to enter me in the giveaway- we both know I've got way too many miniatures at this point- let someone else have a chance to have some mini fun!! :)
The plantation looks perfect on the hutch. I love all your added touches. We're iced in here in Texas-a good day to craft away and watch some movies. Love the cigar box-it's truly a wonderful Kim Kreation!
ReplyDeleteKim, Your dollhouse is looking fabulous all decked out! I so look forward to your posts! I am so getting into these miniatures, and I just love this little box! Too stinkin' cute, and I would love to win it! Have a great weekend, and thanks for always finding time to give us inspiration.
