More New curtains - Lisa and Hanse

 

1970s Lisa - Finland only

I bought this rare Lisa house as a Christmas present for myself in 2022.  It was only made for the Finnish market. The opening in the front wall seems to be wider than on others I've seen, so maybe it's been cut.

 

 

 

I had recently bought the Barton kitchen unit without having a particular place in mind for it, so this Lisa house turned out to be the perfect spot. A while later I won a Lundby lot on eBay which included the rare floral corner sofa which had been on my wish list for years. 

 

 

 

 

 

The dolls are Tiny Town

 

The Collies are Lundby

I also had the house set up with Sallingboe furniture before I got the Lundby corner sofa:

1970s Hanse houses and rooftop extension level

I updated these houses just a little with carpets and hessian wall coverings to hide some of the scratches and stickers. I got the economy house (the one without doors) thinking that it would be the same width as the other ones, but it's a bit smaller, so it doesn't quite look like a multi-story building.  Still, I like them all, and it's nice to be able to spread out my collection of Flagg dolls. 

  

 

Kunstlerschutz

I am a beginner in Künstlerschutz collecting, and I am by no means planning on trying to get a complete collection.  I started out with a donkey I got for a Lundby stable, then added a few dogs, especially the smaller ones which I discovered work great as Lundby pets.  Then I fell for the anthropomorphic ones which are super cute as inhabitants with slightly smaller and more basic furniture, such as Dol-toi, since they only measure about 3 inches.  They live mostly in my Ashland houses from Michael's - you can click on this link to see those houses https://lundbylisalove.blogspot.com/search/label/2021%20Michael%27s%20Ashland%20room%20boxes

My latest idea was making a snow landscape this Christmas and using as many animals as possible.  I was excited to win the large polar bear to add to this scene, and I couldn't resist adding a few of my other favorites.  Let's face it, if you have polar bears, penguins and Christmas elves in one scene, you might as well have a giraffe as well.

Anyway, here are some pictures of my little Kunstlerschutz collection.

Anthropomorphic:

Mr Hedgehog went a bit overboard collecting teapots!

This donkey came without clothes, but he's getting ready to take a bath.

As Lundby pets:

The small puppies work best for scale.

 

Unconventional pets:

 

As dollhouse children's toys:

I ought to get a better picture - Donald jumped in front of the horse I was trying to show...
 

Farm animals:

Snow landscape:

The penguins are not Künstlerschutz - they are vintage made in Taiwan, but also flocked.  I think they work well for my snow scene - the real Künstlerschutz penguins would be much too big.
