I remember my family having these little cardboard houses in Winnipeg . It would have been the early ’60′s…. and I was transfixed by their coloured cello windows and miniature details. I credit things like this for helping make me a creative person…. noticing and absorbing , fantasizing and escaping….. even as a child.  Maybe all children do this ?
     At Southlands, we have a large selection of new versions of these very collectible and ‘retro’ houses because I love them ! When travelling to Gift Shows, I look for stuff that I like , before I look for stuff that ‘will sell’ . I think it works well for me.  I found these little houses available from several companies, and ordered from them all . The prices are very reasonable….  small ones are $19.95, medium ones are $45.00 and large ones are in the $100.00 range.  This Christmas, travel back in time with us by staring into your own mini houses !
