Although we're not selling the kitchen sink (not at this garage sale anyway!) we do have a piece of prime real estate for sale. What are your thoughts on Tudor Revival? No, not really my cup of tea either, but this little gem comes fully furnished and would make the perfect home for a young couple starting out, or a more mature couple looking to downsize. It would also be a great investment property to add to your portfolio...close to shops, public transport, schools etc this home will rent quickly.

Ok, that's enough of my (crappy) sales pitch. I'll let the pictures do the talking...



Yep. It's a Fisher-Price Tudor dollshouse circa 1980.
Garage door rolls up and down and door bell rings (Fancy!)

Here's a few interior shots (Inside Out and co, eat your hearts out!)
I think they call this a "chef's kitchen"?
"I'm sorry for being a naughty girl Mummy. I won't do it again. Let me in. Pleeeeese"

you could sit and watch those fames flicker forever...

a touch of Carl Larsson in the master bedroom

and

I love this 70's-ish wall hanging in the nursery


Cheap as chips out our garage sale, well, waaaaay cheaper than the one's I've just seen on e-bay anyway!

(btw, these clever people are making their own dolls houses: MaxClaire and Carmel if you'd like to have a look...)

We've also got one of these for sale


   a 1970's pac-a-pic picnic set, made in England.

(just like those Fisher-Price flames...I could sit and watch this video for hours)
Looks cool, not too sure if it's practical though. It would be the last thing you'd feel like washing when you got home from your picnic! Here's what it looks like inside

four of these all stacked up. A strange 70's take on a Japanese Bento box. Well, kind-of, Bento boxes aren't put together with an "occy strap" like this is


Sticking with orange, what self-respecting g.s. would be complete without one of these?


when I found it in the shed my first thought was these

And before I head back out to the shed to sort through more junk  treasure, we are also selling tonnes of

tapestries!

More tomorrow x

  5. I just squealed! You wouldn't know what my squeal's like unless you hear it first hand - it's quite something! Your garage sale is going to be epic!

  6. I would so be there if I was in Perth. I have that vintage FP dolls house, it was mine as a child in the early 90s :)

  7. That pic-a-pac video is just strange... s'pose, by his name, its for ebay selling. but then it could equally be one of those strange short, arty, films. can't convince myself it's not balanced on top of a henry hoover though, which distracted me a bit;) And lawdy, yes, they must be a devil to wash - not for the lazily-inclined, like me, at all...

    Cool FP house - though I am alarmed at the poor little girl squashed against the door; has the chef banished her? we need to know;)

    Good luck with the sale - the stock is looking gorgeous! x

  15. Crikeys! When is this sale? It will be the best garage sale eva! I should look at air fares and visit Perth...but then again I don't NEED anything else in my life...I have my health (she said plaintively)
    I have tried imagining them naked, and concentrate so much that I end up staring unblinkingly and manically at the audience, so much so I think they fear for their life! Ah, but I have my health!

  16. I agree, your is my dream garage sale, one i'd nee to hire a trailer for!!!! i especially like the alphabet cross stitch thingy, and the interior of the doll house is awesome, I am going to have to paint something on mine like that somewhere I think...

  17. I always wanted a dolls house growing up but then my little sister got one!!! Don't think I will ever get over that one - by then I was too old to play. This house is gorgeous.
