Hi all,

I am looking for the dimensions for a wonderful house I saw a few years back at the Golden Glow convention. I'm attaching a pic with the house circled in red. I'm hoping that someone has a copy and could supply dimensions, or perhaps one of our more able contributors (more able than I, anyway!) could help me figure out dimensions from the photo. Appreciate any help!

Barb

I think the house in this thread is the same one.

A PDF of the dimensions was posted.

Hi Barb, I loved making this house it is one of my favorites. It is in one of my villages this year. I have lots of extra beads if you would like I would be happy to send you some.

YES!!!! Perfect, thank you Steve and Lynn, so much! These pix and dimensions are exactly what I need... can't wait to work on this!

Lynn, I may take you up on offer of beads if they are the really tiny ones like on the original houses. I do have red and green beads but they just are not quite the same. I have some wonderful Japanese crepe paper to share with you in exchange... we can chat offline!

Thanks gang!

I'm impressed!...very impressed!...I've seen pictures of Barb's creations before...she' a pro...

OKPat...is that the side of your tabletop photo booth I see on the right?...looks like you're using white tissue paper to diffuse the light...and a seamless background/base...no wonder the photo looks so good!...

My very bet regards...Howard...
