Little Paper Toy Shop ~ Quilling

I made this little toy shop kit in 1980 and added some presents and a Santa sign. I used it every year for a Christmas decoration during the holidays. As stated on my web page, ..."if I had known I was going to show this to the world one day, I would have preserved it better".  I am repairing the ceiling and thought I'd take a few close-ups to show some details. It is entirely paper except for the buggy wire. I remember making the dolls and clowns were my favorite pieces.

I tried to remove all the dust with a tiny brush, but of course, my old camera was able to pick it up perfectly. Someone suggested a can of air, so I will try that before packing it back up.

Every piece was included in the kit ... to make the table, stool, shelves, except the wallpaper. I had a bright yellow living room in the '70s, so this yellow polka dot made perfect sense to me at the time.

I think I will reduce the cover of my quilling book and replace The Three Bears with a tiny replica of my book!

I remember the Jack-in-the-Box was hard to make (folding the neck), lol!

Everything has held together pretty well. I did need to reglue the stool legs.

There are even paper nails on the table!

Thanks for looking :)
