Men have train sets - ladies have dolls' houses! Did you think you could have so much fun?

Hours Of Pleasure

Hours Of Pleasure

In January 2001 I bought the Manor House. I loved every second of making it. It took me until this year to get around to completing the lighting. I was so thrilled when it worked. So this is my first "proper" Christmas. It was also my first Internet Order. It was so easy to order and every thing was great. I could not afford to buy lighting sets, but there is always next year. The table is set and the Christmas trees are in position. Thank you for the hours of pleasure my House has given me. My friends have all enjoyed watching its progress. Mrs Murfin, Staffordshire

This is a great hobby. My family thought I was mad at first but now both my sons have projects and my hubby is always on the look out for something that could make something miniature!! When the stresses of life get too much I can hide away in my hobby or come to the forum and talk to the great friends, who despite having never met, listen and advise as if we'd known each other forever.

It has taken two months to complete our dolls' house kit and words cannot express the pleasure it has given us seeing it taking shape. We found it very easy to assemble as every part is so accurate and falls into place, a precision piece. Mr Pike, Leicestershire

Family Fun

I have been looking for a dolls' house to purchase for my daughter for Christmas for several months. You have beautiful houses and I am thrilled to find such fine quality. I am particularly pleased with the fact that I may "add on" at a later date, as my daughter gets older (she is now eight and a half years). I am looking forward to a memorable hobby with my daughter, helping her collect and arrange furnishings for her new home. Karen Michaels, Texas USA

This is the third letter I'm writing to you. I'm writing again because you have the best dolls' house furniture that I can find anywhere. It's FAB!! I am so pleased with my dolls' house I have to write and tell you. My daddy is making me a dolls' house but he has to go to work a lot so it's not finished yet. I'm saving up my money to buy the Country Store because that house is lovely. I hope I get it someday. Miss R Carver, Cumbria

My daughter was given her dolls' house as a gift about two years ago but is now old enough to appreciate it properly. The whole family have become involved and it has rather taken over our lives. Even my 10 year old son is now asking for his own house. Jo Wilcox, Derbyshire

I was 11 when me and my dad built one of your doll' houses and now on my 13th birthday I am getting a basement! Thank you for all the fun I have had with my dolls' house! I love it! Katie Lavelli, Hertfordshire

My husband and I wish to tell you how perfectly thrilled and happy we are with the Lutyen's house that we got from you and have now finished (except for the bit of roof trim my husband still has to do). Not being handy with tools and building things, it probably took us a bit longer than most people take, but the results are amazing. I have almost finished furnishing the house with the furniture that I ordered from you. In time, I will pass the house down to my granddaughter when she is old enough to appreciate and care for it. Thank you for the truly outstanding quality of the dolls' houses you make. Mrs Sasser, Florida USA

For the last six years I have had an interest in dolls' houses and miniatures. My inspiration has been The Dolls House Emporium. Thank you for all your ideas and making my pastime so enjoyable for myself and grand-children. Alicia Chidlaw, Lancashire

Time for "Me" !

Dreams Come True

I felt that I had to write to you to say how pleased I am with my Classical Dolls House which I built from one of your kits. At first I was worried about doing it, when I tackled it, it went together without a hitch, including the lights. I also now own a Butterfly Cottage, which I love and intend to furnish after Christmas. This is just to let you know you give a wonderful service and excellent value for money. Ms Sheila Barton, Bishop's Storrford, Herts

I have just finished building one of your dolls' house kits. I would like to say how much I appreciated your very own easy slot in construction and extremely easy to follow instructions. Even the lighting was installed without any hitches. Mrs Lewis, Buckinghamshire

I have just completed the third dolls' house for my collection. My husband and I had great fun as always putting this one together. Now the best bit for me is choosing the "character" of the house. Thank you for the hours of fun I have. Jackie Bryant, Wiltshire

Your products have made it a dream to confidently and successfully decorate my dolls' house. All the products are perfect and the themes never-ending. Thank you. Carly Bickley, Stockport, UK

I am 11 years old and I have four dolls' houses. The Priory, The Queen Anne, Fairbanks and The Classical. They are really beautiful and so much fun. I would recommend a dolls' house to anyone who likes to collect. Abigail Hughes, Wirral

I have done all the decorating and carpeting myself, and made lots of items for it. I am 63 years old - you're never too old or young for this hobby. Janet Collier, Gloucestershire

Thank heavens to be able to escape into a dolls' house and dream one lives in it!! Pat Munns

I have just completed the Classical dolls' house for my daughter and I'm absolutely thrilled with it, (so is she!). Although she is still a bit young to fully appreciate it I'm sure as she gets older it will become something she will treasure. I've really enjoyed putting it together and now look forward to furnishing it. Mrs K J Lynn

I have had many hobbies over the years but none so enjoyable as "DH-ing". I came upon this forum when looking for a dolls' house and it has been amazing. So much help/advice and likeminded people to chat to whose eyes do not glaze over at the words 'dolls' house'!!! My only regret is that I did not start this hobby years ago. But they do say it is never too late. Forum comment

My father and I would like to congratulate you on your wonderful products. It is not surprising that you have won awards! Dad had the idea of building a dolls' house and raffling it in aid of a nursing home for the elderly with which his mother had a long association. In time his children furnished the rooms, his grand-daughters donated items from their dolls' houses and the residents of the nursing home made the curtains, cushions, rugs and bathroom towels. Then the ticket sellers set to work - it was displayed in a number of shopping centres where it generated a lot of interest. The house has given pleasure to a lot of people as well as raising money. Elizabeth Shanahan, Ireland

I am new to dolls houses, I always wanted one as a kid, but never got one. Being a mum of four children and having just recently given up full time work due to family stresses I find I can be completely absorbed in my house. Building it, decorating it, choosing all the stuff, re-arranging the rooms, just everything about it is relaxing. It can be a shared hobby or just a "me time" hobby. Forum comment

I'd like to thank you for the excellent dolls' house kit. My Dad and I tackled it together and in the end, it looked fantastic. Thank you for feeding my dream that has now come true. Mark Hannon, Cambridgeshire
