A 45 Year Journey


Strips of “bricks” were obviously missing in places on this fortress and reapplied. Amazingly, I still had even the tiniest piece after all its many journeys…. played with 45 years ago by a special little girl; moved with her as she grew up; displayed in all its glory at the Orange County Fair after winning the “Best Craftsmanship” award; and serving as a “cat house” under her staircase for a litter of kittens. 
It was finally crated to travel across the ocean to me because it was especially made to the scale of Ideal’s 1964 Petite Princess Dollhouse Furniture line and I own the Petite Princess website. Who would have thought a complete stranger would "gift" me such a treasure?

Let Me Introduce Myself

My exposure to cancer began many years ago. At the young age of 8, I experienced the "c" word for the first time when my maternal grandmother passed away from metastatic breast cancer. My 35 year old mother, concerned she too may have this dreadful disease, sought out a doctor for her first mammogram and pap smear. Sadly, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I remember having a distant aunt come to care for me and my younger brother while mom recovered from her hysterectomy. Thankfully, it was caught early and if it had not been for the death of my grandmother, I would have lost my mother too. One of my greatest joys at that time was playing with Ideal's Petite Princess Fantasy Dollhouse Furniture and I immersed myself into this "Fantasy World" whenever I could. My love for Petite Princess would remain with me into adulthood.  Fast forward a half a century, I am now the author of The Complete Reference Guide to Ideal's 1964 and 1965 Petite Prin...

Journaling Kleines Neuschwanstein

Image
We were introduced to journaling during our retreat, which is right up my alley as the author of the Complete Reference Guide to Ideal’s 1964 & 1965 Petite Princess and Princess Patti Dollhouse Furniture that can be seen at  www.petiteprincessbooks.com . I had definite plans to photograph my Castle's progress for our upcoming 2nd Edition, but didn't consider journaling how I "feel" while working on it. At least, not until I left that retreat! As suggested by Healing Odyssey: “Use your journals to express your feelings. You may not feel comfortable verbalizing them. It can be less threatening, but therapeutic, to write your feelings down. Journaling cleans our emotional palette!” Thus began my emotional journey in the "Restoration of Kleines Neuschwanstein!"

Introducing Kleines Neuschwanstein

Image
This Medieval Castle was given to me 10 years ago by the daughter of Architect William Bentley. Named Kleines Neuschwanstein after the famous Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, Mr. Bentley's award winning Castle was created to the 3/4" scale of Ideal's 1964 Petite Princess Dollhouse Furniture. I was blessed with this gift in 2009 after I was contacted on my website at  www.petiteprincess.com . My Castle was featured "as is" in the "Princess Linda's Collection" section of our 2009 1st Edition Book: The Complete Reference Guide to Ideal's 1964 & 1965 Petite Princess and Princess Patti Dollhouse Furniture. Unfortunately, due to "life events" ( i.e. laid off as a Kindergarten Teacher on Catalina Island and acquiring breast cancer to mention the biggies), I was unable to restore it. Sadly, it sat unattended in a dusty storage dungeon on the Island until it was recently recovered and brought home. Please join me in...
