Last week we told you we were plowing into the new catalogue production and today we’re able to bring you some pictures of the process in action.

This first one is our photographic team working on a ‘festive’ photograph, including snow! Yes, to us Christmas happens all year round!

… easy, or so the famous song goes. Well here at Dolls House HQ, we’re looking out of the windows at the sun and dreaming of picnics on the grass whilst our heads are buried in new photography for our September 2009 catalogue. Would you believe that we’re working on it already?!

This part of the process is very exciting, it’s the first time a lot of us get to see the new products ‘in situ’ so to speak and the room sets do look beautiful. Once all the photographs are done there’s a lot of editing to (removing wires and the like) and then our graphics team can start the long process of collating all the pages (over 200 again this year!) to create our new catalogue.

As ever the blog and the forum will be the first places to hear about our progress on this annual adventure so stay close by for updates!

If you haven’t got your September 2008 – August 2009 catalogue (or you’ve misplaced it) do give us a call on 0845 434 7447 so we can pop one in the post, there are lots of delightful miniature goodies just waiting for you.

Have you missed our new catalogue? Don’t worry! Simply call us or click on the link from our website and once we’ve got your details we’ll pop one in the post to you.

Our colour catalogue really is the best way to see all our products and really get a sense of the proportion of your accessories by seeing them in the room sets. From stables and horses to a Tudor bed chamber, the inspiration you’ll garner from the catalogue will be immense. And don’t forget that once you’ve signed up with us you’ll also receive our monthly catalogues with special offers tailored to you.

We’d hate for you to miss out on something so wonderful so get a wiggle on and drop us a line!

Almost 30 years ago, Jackie Lee and her then partner Adam Purser, got a crazy idea to set up a business making and selling dolls house kits. Now about to celebrate its 30^th Anniversary in 2009, The Dolls House Emporium has gone from strength to strength including developing some of the most recognisable dolls houses in the world, such as the Classical which appeared in the first catalogues back in 1985 and is still one of the leading sellers today.

As you’ll see from the images, the catalogue was produced to come out in March, unlike today’s run of September to August and the front cover wasn’t colour, in fact we didn’t get a full colour cover until 1987!

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!
