Maybe you think of a dollhouse as something you had as a child that you long since outgrew. Perhaps you even have a dollhouse sitting in an attic, basement, or garage collecting dust no longer being used. A dollhouse is all of those things, and much, much more.<b> <a href="whatisdollhouse.htm">[Continued]</a></b></font></td> <td width="19" background="images/dkpright.jpg"> </td> <td width="19" background="images/magentaleft.jpg"> </td> <td width="324" bgcolor="#E1D2F4" valign="top"> <p align="center"> <img border="0" src="images/scalehdr1.jpg" width="162" height="15"><p align="left"> <font face="Arial" size="2">Are you wondering what 1/12, 1/24 or 1/144 scale means?

While it is not known exactly when miniatures and dollhouses first came into existence, history tells us that the Egyptians placed miniature models of their favorite things, boats, pets, furnishings, etc., in their tombs as part of their religious beliefs. As time passed, the continued existence of miniature models, created after their real life counterparts, flourished and grew. <b> <a href="historyofdollhouse.htm">[Continued]</a></b></font></td> <td width="19" background="images/dkpright.jpg"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="19"> <img border="0" src="images/dkpbotleft.jpg" width="19" height="23"></td> <td background="images/dkpbottom.jpg"> </td> <td> <img border="0" src="images/dkpbottomright.jpg" width="19" height="23"></td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
