Doll house pictures from the Greenleaf Doll House Gallery provide a great source of inspiration, not only to other miniaturist, but also to the folks here at Greenleaf.  We spend countless hours browsing through your photo’s, and are often amazed at what we find.  For our October ad campaign, we came across Holly Moore’s Haunted Dollhouse in the Greenleaf Gallery, which we used as a cornerstone in our Halloween promotion (The ad is pictured below).   We were happy to be able to showcase her work on the inside cover of the big three mini magazines as well as our web site.  Thanks again Holly!

Once again, Greenleaf has gone to the gallery and found another great house for our March Ad campaign!  We don’t want to spoil the surprise, but the miniature project we’ve used in this ad was just to cute to pass up.  This dollhouse will be on the inside covers of Miniature Collector, Dollhouse Miniatures and American Miniaturist magazines early this February!  A big thanks out to this talented miniaturist for sharing their work with all of us!

Remember, the Greenleaf Gallery is open to all, so be sure to post your doll house pictures!  You never know, it might just make you famous!

The January edition of Miniature Collector Magazine featured a wonderful cover story that involved the Aster Cottage doll house kit.  Pat Strahan of Tulsa, Oklahoma did an amazing job of book ending two Aster Cottages side by side into what she calls the “Log Cottage”.  It’s really a fantastic article that is worth a read, with plenty of pictures of an amazing kit bash.  A big thanks to our friends at Scott Publishing for providing us with this photo of the cover and, of course, a big shout out to Pat for showing us the true potential of this darling little kit.

Greenleaf Dollhouses are now available at toysrus.com!  It appears that you can save $10 if you use their “Bill Me Later” option to pay for your purchase of $30 of more.  I’ll admit that I’m not familiar with this program, but at first glance it sound pretty good.  You will see this option when viewing any one of our houses while visiting their site.

We’ve been getting a ton of request to make the 60th Anniversary Edition Arthur available for Christmas delivery, so we’ve been burning the midnight oil to meet that end.  Besides this house being made of birch, it also sports an upgraded trim package, Timerbrook windows/door and a restyled porch complete with railings and spindles.  There will be only 200 of these units made, so this is truly a limited edition house.  Look here for more information over the coming week including the exact release date.

Big thanks out to Deb Roberts of Debs Minis.  Deb has spearheaded the instruction for this kit, so they are user friendly and filled with a ton of pictures, all in full color!

We’ve been receiving a lot of questions about the soon to be release 60th Anniversary Edition Arthur Dollhouse Kit.  Yes, these houses will be made of Birch plywood and it will be released in limited quantities.  Only 200 of these special kits are being manufactured and they will be sold exclusively through the Greenleaf Dollhouse Store.  Once these dollhouse kits are gone, they will never be manufactured again, so stayed tuned for the coming release date!
