Notes

VARlATlONS—To decorate a fish mold prepare one recipe of basic un-flavored gelatin with fresh lemon juice following Knox package directions. Pour enough into 4-cup mold to cover bottom; chill until firm. Arrange slices of sluffed olives for eyes; half slices of lemon dipped in paprika down back and fins of thin green pepper strips following mold design. Add gelatin to hold decoration in place and when firm, add remaining gelatin; congeal. Turn in the fish recipe above and refrigerate until firm. Un-mold. This makes 8 to 10 servings.

#tbt Vintage Renwal Dollhouse bits and bobs

So earlier today I was wandering Facebook (as one tends to do) when Franklin Habit posted a photo that looked awfully familiar. Why yes, it was of the same mother and son Dollhouse Dolls that I inherited from #deadnancy. There is not a lot of information out there about the Renwal Company but I was able to find that they were a higher-end maker.

 

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Ideal, Marx, and Renwal were the high-end manufacturers of dollhouse furniture. Plasco produced a more “generic” line of furniture designed to sell at a lower price point, 15 to 25 percent cheaper.

Yup, that is three toilets. I am sure the toilet seat for the white one was in the box but couldn’t find it.
Also there is a pink high chair/ toilet combo not pictured
