Who am i ?

I'm Josiane, but since I was small I called Jo , I am 51 years old (finally for 2005 only).
Since always i am in admiration in front of the doll's houses and the beautiful headstocks in general.
It is my husband, Alain, who manufactured my first doll's house
and it's thanks to him that i can appease my passion.

I intentionally chose to build a doll's house as a window shape
to more easily be able to install it in our living room.
Then i furnished it with the liking visits in specialized shops,
or while going to model shows in Paris.

Then everyone in the family deposited his print there :
My elder son, Michael, brought me back from a school tour in England, miniatures of
old Master paintings to hang on walls and a well done miniaturized game of backgammon.

My son-in-law Cedric brought me back from a voyage in Guadeloupe, a creole headstock.
It is not really on the scale but it gets its place in the house and brings a little
color to the decoration !

My younger son "Tony" brought me back from a school tour in England too (1989),
a really successful miniature of the "monopoly" game and reallistic imitations of small books.
On one of these books, whose pages are blank, some friends deposited dedication
when they visited us for a good meal at home (it seems i am good cooker !)

Then my daughter "Manue" gave me gift, at Christmas, as the piano and
some pieces of furniture to do up the music room which is in top of the staircase.
Do'nt expect the headstock plays an air of music but she pretends to do so !

And finally, my goddaughter Magalie spoiled me by offering small
objects of everyday life which she found in a store in Reims.

Since I keep my collections : i buy, i bargain, i repair ...
There are houses and miniature dolls everywhere at home,
it is an inexhaustible source of pleasure !

My children have now their own children and it is
with happiness i play again with dolls with my grand-daughters.
