Can you just imagine all the fun hours some little girls had playing with this doll house? It is nowlooking for a new home and someone to play with!!
I was have a conversation with Mr. Pea the other day when I noticed something strange!! I grabbed my camera and got off a quick shot of him from the back. Do you see something strange? Yes, you are right, he was wearing his shirt inside out!! Did I tell him? What do you think? Silly man, you must have been in a hurry to get to work. 
I just love these French field glasses from Paris. They are time -worn and have a wonderful brass patina. 
Look at this old screened baby crib, it was all in pieces in my friends lumber yard barn. Marvin is collector and he was showing me something else that he had found. I asked, what is that rusty screen thing? and Marvin said, "oh! take it, it's some baby thing". Soooooo I did and put it together, I thought it was going to be a playpen at first. Has anyone ever seen one like this? I think it was to keep the bugs off the baby, maybe while working outside in the garden?? Who knows?

Oh, my goodness. I wish you lived closer so I could take that off you hands. I love it madly! You know I'm talking about the screened crib, right? I'm about speechless. Wow. ~Mindy
What wonderful things. I've been following Miss Jean and Becky so I've heard a lot about your wonderful shop. I'm going to have to make the drive up when the kids go back to school. I'll need some serious retail therapy by then.

I once had a crib like that, I have never seen another since. It was just as cool. I think I sold it way too cheap though!
Yes, I recall seeing them. Mother had a playpen that had a cover but not for long. TTFN ~Marydon
The dolls house got my attention. :) I don't need another one. Don't have the room and it is taking me forever to finish the inside of last one I bought.

That's exactly what it is...probably because everyone slept with the windows open back in the day. Could you imagine sleeping w/o a/c now? Whew!!! I always like to call them "critter cages".
Good thing you didn't tell him about his shirt...he might have used that as an excuse for stopping. I'm assuming it was inside out from working and something else...wink, wink!

Debbie, very funny but he was just in a hurry to get to the Pea for his daily work, really. Hee-hee!
I have seen a couple, you've gotta love a generation that believed in caging their children.
I think Cindy, Tarte Queen had one at Barn House
I've had one similar, but it was called a field crib. Mom's carried the babies to the fields to pick cotton, etc. You know Mom's work is never done!
