It's about time I shared an update with you in regards to the I'm a Giant challenge! My dollhouse is in quite the state of disrepair, as it has turned into a bit more reno that I initally imagined. It is a challenge for sure, and at times I have wished for a pint-sized carpenter who could do the work for me…(cute little mouse with a toolbelt)? However, in the meantime, I've been having a blast planning the decor, shopping, and scheming to rejuvenate some older pieces from my childhood. Almost everything you see above will be getting a new look! More to come…happy "dollhousing" (yes, it's a verb now).

I am truly, madly smitten by the new online shop of my blogging friend Miss B, and absolutely must share it with you! Always one for old-fashioned manners and charm, the Besotted Brand aesthetic suits me perfectly, and encourages us all to correspond in the most beautiful of ways. I cannot possibly describe it as well as she, so here is an excerpt from her website…please pay her a visit, and maybe leave a note of applause on her blog as well! Bravo Miss B!

"Sitting atop the tidy shelves at Besotted Brand are the accouterments of fine living. Single note parfums await a mademoiselle (or madam) with a discerning décolleté. Members of letter writing societies, both real and imagined, appreciate the catalouges of courtly correspondence, bespoke or otherwise. Prints are waiting patiently to adorn your walls and steal your hearts. And, of course, it goes without saying that everyone the world over enjoys the satisfying thwap of a perfectly weighted wood-handled stamp."
