| Cupcake Cottage dollhouse dreams! |
I won this Greenleaf Storybook Cottage dollhouse kit on eBay for a steal. I was so happy, because I've been wanting to make a girlie shabby chic bakery for a while now, and this house will be perfect for it! I've been calling it "Cupcake Cottage" in my mind for months now. :-) I'm thinking something like Shop Cinderella Moments (this post) meets Once Upon a Time (this post) meets Knotty By Nature (this post) and Petitevictorianrose (this post)!

| It won't be red--it'll be cupcake frosting pink! |
I'm still in the dreaming stage, but Cupcake Cottage has wanted to express itself for a while now, so I have a pretty good idea of where I'm going to go with it. It's all about vintage, pink, shabby chic, girlie fun!!!
Once I create the story behind the dollhouse (the who, what, where, when, and how of it), the dollhouse will almost create itself. At least that's what happened when I got that kind of clarity around the Lovers Cottage, with the help of some fantastic comments from all of you. :-) Until next time.... xoxo Jennifer

Great projects. Good luck!

Hi Sanne! Yum! is right! I love looking at all the cupcake-themed stuff! It looks so tasty! So you have the Arthur? Looks like they're very similar, but you have more rooms and a cuter front porch! I'd love to see more of your house! :-) Jennifer
Hi Caroline! Thank you sooooo much for your supportive comment! Yeah, I'm going to have a lot of fun with both! I LOVE your doughnut shop--it's adorable! And your giveaway is fantastic--thanks for the opportunity to join! :-) Jennifer
Thank you, Klara! It will be fun to show the progress as I go along! :-D Jennifer
Thank you, Fabiola! I appreciate your kind words! :-) Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
I'm really excited after reading this post :0) Seriously my heart is beating faster and I have a big smile on my face :0)
Firstly I can't wait to see your Diorama, I just know it will be happy and fun!! And Cupcake Cottage I can't wait to see!!!I love Storybook Cottage it's my absoloute favorite of the Greenleaf dollhouses.I tried to get one a while back but it's so hard to get Greenleaf in the UK, we really do seem to have a lot in common :0)
You have made me want to do more with my bakery, I just wish there was more time in the day :0)
Hugs Vicky xxxx
Un proyecto muy bonito, seguiré sus avances. Un saludo, Eva
Hi Vicky! I loved reading your story about the Storybook (and your heart pounding too!)! Yes, we seem to have a lot in common! :-) I know exactly what you mean about if there were more hours in the day. :-( I just try to keep my number of projects under control (I have three dollhouses now--that means no more!) and simplify, simplify! ;-) Thank you for your kind words in advance of my diorama installation. I must get ready to go there soon! Thanks again for your lovely comment! :-) Jennifer
Muchas gracias, Eva! I appreciate that you'll be following my progress on the Cupcake Cottage! :-) Jennifer

Hi Victoria! You're so sweet to say that! I'll show you the diorama soon! Yeah, the Cupcake Cottage will be cute--not as wild as your "miniature asylum," but I'm still learning from you! Maybe one day! ;-) Thanks for your thoughtful comment! :-) Jennifer
