A little boat

Here's a little rowboat which I have painted for the Finnish lakehouse. It was originally varnished wood with a green trim, but I saw a pic in my book of a boat in the colours of the Finnish flag, so this is the result!

I got the boat a long time ago from The Dolls House Emporium, but I don't know if it's still available. I have found that some things there are available only from the paper catalogue, which is not an option for overseas buyers who must use the online catalogue. (The catalogue number for this boat was #4255.)

  1. I love your little boat. I love the lakehouse you are doing. Especially the windows across the front. I'm thinking of turning my boys Ponderosa into a lake house when they grow out of it. More of a Lake Tahoe (California Lake). Lake play in the summer and skiing in the winter.

  2. That's a beautifully detailed boat Glenda, perfect for the lakehouse. Somehow I think the poppets are saying "We don't mind looking but we're not really into boats!"

  3. Lovely boat Glenda, I agree with Susan, the poppets are pretending they don't see it.

  4. Yes, they're just being polite - they'd rather have a roof over their heads!! They make very good self-appointed supervisors!!

  11. Oh have I missed a post about the lakehouse? You have started again? The package was finally out 2 days ago, Glenda :)

    Hope you could use it. I see from your boat that everything's going to be pretty neat and clean and fairly new. :) phew :)
