This evening an errand took us up to the top of the bluff in my neighborhood. There is a birdhouse up there that I built in the early 1990s so I stopped by for a quick photo shoot. It is one of the first birdhouses I sold. It has that shabby chic, antique look after spending nearly 20 years out in the rain and wind. I think she looks pretty good. It has sheltered a great many baby birds over the years, there is nest building going on right now for the newest generation.
I am thinking about making a version of this bird house scaled for dollhouses. Would you all like that?
A few blocks away from the birdhouse I came across a perfect glitter house project. I will start making it this summer. It works for both European and American scenes, the Tudor revival era from the 1930s. The house has a lot of interest without being overly fussy. It looks great from all 4 sides, not often I come across a house that does not need a lot of modification. I will make some changes to the picture windows to give them a bit more of an old world feel. Those windows look out to the same view I have from the beach.
I adore the twin gable peaks with the chimney between.

Linda,
It would be done as a kit using the same construction methods I use for the glitter houses.
That means it will be easy and lightweight to ship anywhere in the world in an envelope.
It would also make a fun ornament for a real Christmas tree or to hang in a kitchen window.
I would be more than happy to have one of those wonderful birdhouses in 12th scale, for my Crooked House.
Please, if you would do it for sale, let me know!
