Whilst some of you have been lucky enough to get your new catalogues, don’t forget that these are the last few days of our August offers. With FREE delivery on orders over just £20 and Granville the Delivery Boy FREE with orders over £30, what’s stopping you?!  Not forgetting the FREE basements and additional properties when you buy a collectors house, including Grosvenor Hall, you could save up to £540!

And that’s not all, you can save up to 70% on furniture and accessories but only  whilst stocks last! So if there’s something you’ve had your eye on but you’ve been holding off, don’t wait any longer it may not be there forever and we’d hate for you to miss out.

Don’t forget to check the website for those web only offers and to visit our shop for exclusive and delicate hand made miniatures .

A very short and to the point blog today. The new Dolls House Emporium 2008-2009 Catalogue left the Head Quarters in Ripley on Friday 22nd August. This means that with a little help from Royal Mail, it should be landing on your door step from today onwards.  We can hear the cries of joy from across the land as you read this wonderful news! And, just in case you haven’t had it yet, the final Sneak Peek for the new catalogue will be going online later today. So sign up for the members area and see what’s in store!

With everyone watching the pennies at the moment, we thought you might like some ideas for making your dolls’ house funds go as far as possible, so to start you off, here are some money saving tips to try in the Dining Room;

• Use plain white plates is they are to be mostly covered with food, or paint card plates.
• Buttons can also be used as plates and will look very fancy.
• Choose sets of cheap wine bottles to fill your wine rack - but do invest in two or three special bottles and some ‘filled’ wine glasses to place in full view.
• Make your own paper napkins from coloured paper or fine cotton fabric.
• Inexpensive ‘gold’ cutlery make a real impact on the table.
• Chopsticks can be made from matchsticks- slice lengthwise and cut to length - one matchstick will provide two pairs of chopsticks.
• To add a touch of luxury, remember to put a vase on the table- even a single flower can look so romantic.

If you have any money- saving tips to share, please post them on our forum…we look forward to hearing from you soon!
