Harrods Opening This Week!

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Well, the day has finally arrived. On Wednesday 22nd October, Harrods will begin selling products from The Dolls House Emporium. The lucky staff members have just spent a day at Dolls House Head Quarters in Ripley and certainly seemed to enjoy themselves.

Maybe you know one of the lucky people who will be working with us in the Harrods Toy Kingdom, don’t forget to pop by and wish them luck, after all, it’s a very nerve racking and exciting time for us all.  There are plans afoot to mark the opening, but we’d like to let the staff get settled in first! We hope to see you there soon, make the most of that trip to London for the Christmas shop and visit your favourite dolls’ house and miniature supplier in the world’s most famous department store.

You never know who you might see there!

South of Watford Gap Store Now Open!

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Polhill Garden Centre at Badgers Mount in Kent is definitely the place to be this October as it’s the latest addition to sell the Dolls House Emporium range of products. To bring our miniatures to a wider audience, we knew we needed to provide a ‘hands on’ experience in the South East, (that wasn’t in Central London!).  So now you can go along and see a selection of furniture and accessories and a display of our dolls’ houses, including some of our best selling Junior Collection houses and accessories. If you prefer to ‘try before you buy’ rather than using our mail order service, you’ll be able to view the selection of products and see just how good they really are before you purchase.  Plus, if the item you want isn’t available, let the staff behind the counter know and they can order it on your behalf.  So now you can find us North, South and In The Middle. We’re still looking for opportunites to open at other sites around the country so you may find us venturing to the East and West and with any luck, Hadrians Wall will be breeched too.

Here’s an interesting bit of information for you too, did you know that you can always call us, tell us your post code and we’ll be able to tell you where your nearest Dolls House Emporium stockist is? So we can help you spend your hard earned pennies where ever you live!

If you’re in the vicinty though don’t forget our other shops at Houghton Hall, Carlisle who have their first Christmas Extravaganza on this week. You’ll be treated to festive refreshments and live music to compliment your shopping trip and it’ll be a fantastic way to load up on those all important stocking fillers.

The shop at Ripley, our ”Head Quarters” in Derbyshire, now has a range of limited stock items that you’ll only find in this store, simply because we don’t have enough to share! So if there’s a little something you think you might have missed, pop by the shop and see if it’s waiting for you, you never know what else you might find to fill up all those little nooks and crannies in your dolls’ house.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
