Miss Happiness and Miss flower was one of my favorite books because of the plans for the Japanese doll house. It has always been on my 'bucket' list to build that dollhouse, not only in 1:12 scale but to enlarge the plans and figure out how to do it in 1:6 scale. Rumor Godden was one of my favorite authors as a child, with her many books of fantasy on dolls and children. I lived in front of my dollhouse as a kid and drove my mother nuts going back and forth to the library checking out this author's books. I guess it should be expected that I should grow up and do this for a living, lol.<br /><br />Sam how marvelous! I have always wanted to see an authentic Japanese hina display. I have always wanted to visit Japan and see this marvelous festival and how it is celebrated.

About twenty-five years ago I was in Japan staying with a family who had a very impressive Hinamatsuri display in their home. I was in awe of such a beautiful display of dolls and the story behind it.<br />Your doll scene is great!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886941510965517859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923014215546188922.post-91720434796398537942017-03-04T08:36:03.700-08:002017-03-04T08:36:03.700-08:00Every time I read about the doll festival, I alway...Every time I read about the doll festival, I always find myself remembering the books <i>Miss Happiness and Miss Flower</i> and <i>Little Plum</i> by Rumer Godden. I would love to be as creative with my dolls as the children in those books were!Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.com
