When I was a child, I received several dollhouse
pieces from the brand Petite Princess in 1964
I loved them, and fortunately, I still have them
I’ve even kept the original boxes.
These pieces are a bit small (about 1:16 scale instead of the usual 1:12)
for a standard dollhouse
My daughter also played with them, and unfortunately,
some pieces got broken
The furniture that isn’t damaged now sits in my
display cabinet, so I can enjoy them every day
Ideal’s Petite Princess Fantasy furniture for the dollhouse
was first featured in the Sears Christmas Wish Book in 1964
They offered the original set with thirty key pieces,
along with the original Fantasy family (father, mother, sister, and brother)
and their Fantasy rooms (available in pink, blue, and yellow)
Some of these pieces reappeared in the 1966, 1967, 1968,
and 1969 Sears Christmas Wish Books
The pieces included a vanity and chair, bed, table and lamp,
piano and sofa, cabinet, guest chairs, occasional chair,
sofa, table, and lamp
Also in 1968 and 1969, Sears sold thirteen pieces from
the original collection in a Colonial-style dollhouse with a red roof
Included in these houses were the vanity and chair, bed,
table with lamp, chairs, sofa, grand piano, side table set,
and a new bathroom set with a bathtub and towel rack
The original Fantasy family did not return and
was replaced by a different family
Petite Princess vintage miniatures were produced in ¾ inch scale,
and no other miniatures were made in this scale,
which adds to the unique character of the product
The manufacturers of this beautiful furniture line describe
Petite Princess furniture as “The fulfillment of every girl’s dream.”
The furniture is beautifully detailed, handcrafted, and designed
to provide many hours of imaginative play
Petite Princess dollhouse furniture is also wonderful to collect
There is a Japanese brand that has copied them,
but those are not nearly as beautiful
I made a shabby chic dressing table during a workshop in Gouda
Half of it was finished by the end of the day, and I completed the rest at home
The original example was silver, but I painted mine in antique gold
for a warmer, more classic look
With the added accessories, it has become a real eye-catcher
and perfectly fitting for a romantic bedroom from days gone by
Een brocante kaptafel gemaakt tijdens een workshop in Gouda
De helft was klaar aan het einde van de dag en het overige heb ik thuis afgemaakt
Het voorbeeld was zilverkleurig, maar ik heb alles oud goud geschilderd
voor een warmere, klassieke uitstraling
Met de accessoires erbij is het een echte blikvanger geworden en
helemaal in de stijl van een romantische slaapkamer uit vervlogen tijden

I made a mini version of Ganzenbord (the Game of the Goose),
just like the one from my childhood which I still have
Inside a hollow book, I created a scene from Alice in Wonderland
In een hol boek heb ik een scene gemaakt
van Alice in Wonderland
I’m giving it to my new granddaughter, and I thought
the text on the cover was perfect for her
Ik geef het aan mijn nieuwe kleindochter en
vond de tekst voorop wel mooi voor haar
