The Dollhouse Collector
       One wonders at what lies in the heart of the collector of dollhouses. Did the fascination and urge to gather the dollhouses about them begin when the collector was a child? Has the person always been fascinated by miniature things? Or is it simply that the collector enjoys the satisfaction of creating one's own uniquely expressed miniature home, hence community, hence world.
       There's something to be said in there somewhere about our delight in expressing our totalitarian selves in the dictatorship over our dolls and their community. Our doll homes and our dollhouse collection (community) is a reflection of our ideal of our own home and environment and there, we have utter control. Our tastes are the prevailing tastes, our rules the only ones that count.
       Of course, it goes without saying that there are as many reasons for dollhouse collections as there are collectors, but the underlying motivation would probably be the realization of the great dream of building something perfect and lasting and that expresses the inner collector. In the world of dollhouses, there are those offered for purchase that are less than satisfactory as to quality or with a mind to that unique stamp of self upon it. Many come shipped already sided, painted and decorated on the interior so that you simply put them on the shelf and there, they express only the manufacturer. Many come shipped as half hearted imitations of some manor house or stamped as a Barbie Malibu Beach Ranch. In other words, it's not easy finding the excellent construction, quality, the attention to detail and yes, even the custom made dollhouse, designed after your very own personal dream.
       Your Dollshouse / Touch Wood is the epitome of all that the true collector asks for in a doll house home, in the quest for building one's singular expression. Of wood, and detailed to the most stringent requirements, everything constructed by Your Dollshouse whether it's a stock design, or your own wonderful dream, is top quality without fail and worthy of any collection worldwide!
