Ashley's Dollhouse


Note from Ashley's Dad: In August of 1998, a group of miniature hobbyists contacted me by e-mail to inform me that their group had decided to provide Ashley with a handmade dollhouse, complete with all kinds of miniatures with which to furnish and decorate the house. For about a month, packages arrived daily from all over the country containing miniatures. Then in mid-September, the dollhouse itself arrived. Ashley absolutely loved her dollhouse, and often spent hours changing out the furnishings in the rooms, or simply looking through all the miniatures and playing with them. This web page was created initially so that the people who so generously provided this wonderful gift could see the result of their labor of love.

Ashley died of recurrent brain tumors in November 2001. I have left the personal references below intact, as though Ashley herself is taking you on a personal tour of her dollhouse.
