Explanation:
Doll's Houses

In the olden days, doll's houses were made from wood, or at least heavypressboard, not from plastic. Sometimes they were built by a parent or grandparent of the owner. They did not come with their own residents. They did not require the further purchase of a sportscar, swimming pool, or stereo system.

The furniture was also cleverly made of wood, with little doors that opened on some of the pieces. If you were really fortunate, you had a set of PAINTED PLASTER FOOD, and tiny wood or metal dishes. A turkey, fruit, and bowls of 'mystery food' may have been a part of part of the set.


CREDEVO VOLESSE DIRE "CIBI FINTI REALIZZATI IN PLASTICA" E INVECE HO TROVATO QUESTO SITO IN CUI DESCRIVE DELLE CASE PER BAMBOLE E HO CAPITO CHE SI TRATTA DI CIBI FATTI DI GESSO E POI COLORATI, UN Pò PIù RIFINITI QUINDI.
NON SO SE LA TRADUZIONE SIA GIUSTA O SE ESISTE UN ALTRA ESPRESSIONE PIù FELICE, PER ORA è SOLO UN SUGGERIMENTO.

Ciao Sabina,

Buon lavoro,
