Anyway these boxes are on either side of my dining room mirror so I USE them in my house.
I also have a whole doll house cut through so you only see the rooms as in a roombox - but I haven't taken pictures of those rooms. That is an early 1900's roombox.
Anyway - don't have the time or the money for this hobby any more - but it was fun when I was doing it.
I am sorry to read you are still recovering from your dental surgery - energy wise. Am sure it is from your eating restrictions....such a big change must have a major impact on your energy. Do you use a food processor and grind up some chicken/beef to get some more protein from that? Could you eat like chicken salad with minced chicken? And I know you must be taking vitamins. Here's hoping you recuperate soon....back to your old energetic self!
Captain's Room - closeup view of the desk and its contents.
The little ink well/candle holder also came from England and is a prize possession. You can see the Captain's spectacles, his ledger book, his pistol, a little box for his keys and other things, and a miniature canon if you look closely. Also, his tricornered hat is in the chair. His spyglass if on the tripod so he can look out to view his ship in the harbor which shows up through the window. The model ship on the wall is a miniature of his own ship. The rug on the floor is handwoven by a cousin who works on a loom and creates beautiful rugs both tiny and large.
