I set up my Dolly houses and churches in 2 village in my craft room. I'm not sure how long they will be up but I just couldn't pack them away just yet. Notice the 2 reindeer in front of the red house in the village with the white church. I received these from a friend. There is a small hole on one side that a tiny pipe cleaner went through and a wooden pick on the end, possibly used in a corsage?

Howard I am looking forward to seeing your Dolly's all together.

Wow, look at all the flatties.

I am always stunned by the detail that goes into the flatties. And then I am always impressed at how much they add to the little village. I really like Will's term for the white church - Sparklicious - it really describes it beautifully. So the Dolly village consists of 10 houses? This is a wonderful scene. Great job.

Here are the final 3 houses for my set of Dollys. I went ahead and drew the windows myself for the last house and the church. They aren't as crisp as Lynns but they'll do for my personal houses.

And here are all the houses for this Dolly set. I've included a copy of the Ward's catalogue of this set from 1941. Santa is on his way - I'm currently drawing Santa, his sleigh and reindeer so progress is a little slow.
