The lady of the house is getting ready to entertain. Her long-haired companion helps her get ready for guests.
Lovely old pieces grace this room along with some photos of royalty on the mantle.

The children's bedroom is complete with nanny and a tin bath tub.
The fireplace is an old litho'd tin bank and the room still displays its original "stickers" or pictures on the walls that the little girl who first owned this house decorated with--kitties, a floral moon and a tuxedo'd cat with chop sticks steal center stage.

The master bedroom has wonderful old papers and a lovely place for the lady of the house to sit and sew with her folding sewing basket at the ready and her pedal sewing machine to make the work go faster. It looks like she is a dressmaker by the dress form (with measuring tape in the base) in the back of the room!

The following few entries are in response to a question by fellow blogger Rebecca about Australia's version of Little Homemaker.The firm that made the USA version was Plasco (Plastic Art Toy Corp. of America). Dollhouse funiture was first manufactured around 1944 and in 1948 you could purchase a whole room box for $1 !!
Some versions came with a box of furniture and a 45 rpm record (see below).
I never knew they made similar pieces in Australia so I thank Rebecca for sharing that info and the lovely photos as well!
I have a bathroom for sale--scroll all the way down-- if anyone is interested.
Enjoy the professional pictures that come from the pages of American Dollhouses and Furniture from the 20th Century by Dian Zillner.
