lost & found vintage toys

the making of sunset house

so yesterday i posted about our latest mini house, the sunset school ~

mr dad & i have made many mini houses together, & due to space restrictions we decided this would be our last house ~

i had an idea that i wanted to create a special vampire school ;) ~

& i was inspired by this old article i found ~

we would use greenleaf's 'the lily' ~

starting the project back in march ~

it was helpful that we've been staying in ~

we got a bit more done each weekend with the hopes of finishing for halloween :) ~

for my birthday i picked out a nice little lot of mezco living dead dolls for the students ~

& we used these fun winkie style portraits to add to the decor ~

madame was vintage & specially chosen ~

i painted the mini paintings myself ~

for more mini houses please visit the rows of never opened doors quarantined hallway at my ghost gallery or click the links in the sidebar..

sunset house

peeking into our latest mini house for this special halloween day post ~

sunset house by the sea, an historic old school for gifted children ~

time for class to begin ~

a mini within a mini ~

encouraging the arts ~

you can click here to see the full sunset house page, but recently i've realized all my links here at typepad & just generally around on social media are now robbing away the audio tab & all the sound/music :( & it's like watching a show without the sound. so i suggest using a laptop or pc & visiting the rows of never opened doors here at my ghost gallery at gumbyland directly & scrolling down almost to the bottom to find the sunset house link. the music plays beautifully at the gallery itself ;) ~

happy halloween all!
