I could listen and watch this lady all day she is so knowledgeable and fascinating please do more with this lovely lady and her collection ❤

Wonderful. I fell in love with dollhouses when I was a child, didn’t get one until my lates fifties. It’s never too late & you’re never too old for dolls.

I also fell in love with miniature houses and dolls when I was a child, and was gifted my first dollshouse when I was 10, and was so thrilled. I've loved them ever since, and am always happy to see collections. Many thanks to Susan for sharing her wonderful collection, as well as the history of dolls houses! And thank you Rachel for finding such kind and generous doll people who love sharing their knowledge!

Thank you so, so much, Susan and Rachel, for letting us all view this fabulous dollhouse. I am breathless and in awe (and I'm a little frightened to see what comes next, as my heart might give out.)

Wow! Susan is just wonderful to listen to and learn from. Such a heartfelt passion for collecting miniatures! Thank you for sharing.

I also love tiny objects...those tiny little dolls put a huge smile on my face!

Thank you all so much! What lovely treasures!

Simply fascinating and adorable! I had no idea that doll houses were not originally toys. Talk about your early home-ec class! Thank you so much for sharing your treasures!

imagine digging into all that as a little kid.. . i would have been lost in there for hours.

This lady is wonderful, she really knows her subject and this cabinet house is beautiful. It's kind of in the nature of dollhouses to be continually redecorated, personally, I am building a medieval house/diorama and you learn a lot simply by trying to remain true to the period!

This is really awesome:)!! I LOVE Dollhouses and I never knew that the first Dollhouse was in 1598:)!! I also never knew that Dollhouses were originally for young Ladies to "learn to keep house":)!!! This Cabinet of Curiosities is a beautiful work of art with so many lovely miniatures:)!! I sadly no longer have my plastic Victorian looking Kusan Dollhouse from my Childhood, but I used to collect reproductions of antique dollhouse furniture that I put in this plastic Victorian Dollhouse, many of which I still have today:)!!! My Kitchen in my Dollhouse was the most historic with a miniature iron stove which was made with iron, a wooden "sink" with no faucets to wash dishes, and a lovely wooden table with chairs:)!! Also, my Dollhouse had a attic, which I put a miniature reproduction of an antique sewing machine, a miniature production of a wooden sea man's chest that I filled with white linens for my dolls, and a beautiful Coca Cola tray that I put many miniature wine bottles as well as Coca Cola bottles:)!! I was very proud of my Dollhouse when I was a Child:)!!! Thank you for sharing Susan's Cabinet and Susan is a very good teacher:)!! I especially enjoyed this video because this has combined my love of Dollhouses, Dolls, and history:)!!!!

So fascinating! Thank you🥰

I just pitched my first dollhouse. It’s a Thomas Pacconi Victorian style house. Not antique, but really great. I found these tiny porcelain dolls to go in it. I have your channel to thank for rekindling my love of dolls and miniatures.

I am in love with her doll houses !

Ive just found this video and was enthralled by its contents. I love dolls houses, have two which are unfinished and this will inspire me to get moving and add to them. Fascinating tour of this cabinet house with some absolutely divine little pieces. As for the miniature memorial made with human hair, well it is just exquisite and whilst terribly sad and moving, it is delightfully made. What a joy to own such houses. Thank you.

I got a doll house for Christmas when I was around twelve yrs old . It was a typical sixties house made from metal with plastic furniture and people. I was fascinated by that house . Wish I still had it .

I loved both of these videos!! this is a little knit-picky, but I wanted to recommend Bernadette Banner's videos in regards to corsets! they actually tended to be much more comfortable than we think, and a properly fitted corset allows for a wide range of movement and comfortable breathing :-)

I start collecting doll houses when I was a teenager...my first was a doll house from 1870s

Oh my goodness 😁 💗 these dollhouse videos.

This was fascinating thank you for sharing I love the idea of the cabinet as the dolls house and just like a real house there is a lot of history when you look at wall coverings XX

Very informative! Beautiful collection

Thank you both! This is a dream come true!

Wow!!😍🥰😍

I'm back to this, again! I adore this...😊

Thank you for the tour of this beautiful doll house and for the gracious host and her wonderful stories and explanation of the origins of doll houses!

I learned so much!

Love her presentation, passion, and attention to detail! Lots of knowledge. I just bought a doll house and watched The Miniaturist, and I've been exploring info on doll houses. Mine is by no means historical, although it is collectable. :)

Fabulous. Thank you soo ooooo much x.

Thank you so much. That was absolutely fascinating and breathtaking. I could listen to Susan for hours and hours her passion and knowledge are exceptional and infectious. I don’t know much about dolls or doll houses and just stumbled on your channel. I am learning lots and am hooked! I would love to learn more about the little dolls shown in this video. Are they easy to collect and how can you spot an original. My dilemma would be that I would want to play with and dress them so that would perhaps devalue or damage them. I love historical clothing, household items etc but this is always a dilemma.

This was delightful! Thank you for such an in depth look at this miniature house!

Absolutely fascinating!!!

I hope you’ll all visit the Miniature World Of Kit & Caboodlers, here on KZfaq! They are a mother-daughter mudlarking duo who craft doll houses with their mostly Victorian finds.

Arsenic was also used to dye fabric...death by fashion!
