The Nursery Nostalgia Collection

 

Hello everyone,

How are you all? I hope you are doing well.

Lately, I have been extremely busy preparing for my upcoming dolls’ house fair, creating new miniatures and exploring fresh ideas. This time, I went a little further and poured my heart into creating a brand-new and very special collection called The Nursery Nostalgia Collection.

This collection was lovingly prepared for the International Dolls House & Miniatures Fair at Expo Houten, Utrecht, The Netherlands, and it celebrates the sweetness of childhood; those comforting, playful moments filled with imagination and warmth. This is truly the place where all the cute things belong.

The Nursery Nostalgia Collection consists of nine miniature sets, some inspired by my own childhood memories and others by beautiful vintage toys. Each piece was carefully designed to feel timeless, gentle, and full of character, evoking the charm of traditional nursery rooms.

The collection begins with toys on wheels, classic pieces that instantly spark joy. There is the Woolly Walker, featuring a sweet little lamb ready to be pushed along, as well as the Puddle Parade Pull-Toy and the Cottontail Cruiser, both designed as charming pull-along toys that bring movement and playfulness to any nursery scene.

The Shape-Match Puzzle 

The Push-Through Shape Sorter

Educational toys follow, bringing back some of the sweetest memories. The Shape-Match Puzzle and the Push-Through Shape Sorter were created to capture the magic of early learning, where little hands match shapes into their proper places, turning playtime into discovery.

One of the most personal pieces in the collection is the Snuggle Bug, inspired by my own vintage Glow Worm toy. I remember sleeping with it every night as a child, and what makes it even more special is that, after all these years, I still have it. This miniature holds a very dear place in my heart.

Storytime is also an important part of nursery life, which led to the creation of the Story Time Teddy and the Bedtime Bear Bookends with matching books. The little teddy feels like the perfect companion for quiet reading moments, while the books and bookends add a warm, lived-in feeling to the space.

Alongside them is the Cuddle Bunny, because everyone enjoys cuddling up to a bunny.

Inspired by vintage toys, The Snowy Swan Rocker is one of the more unique pieces in the collection. Elegant and nostalgic, it adds a beautiful focal point to any nursery setting. 

Every little doll also deserves a bed of her own, which is why I created the Darling Dolly Cot with its baby doll. This piece brings back fond memories of playing “mummy” and lovingly taking care of a baby doll, something many of us remember from childhood.

The final piece in the collection is the Penny Lane Cottage with its tiny furniture. This vintage-styled dolls’ house includes furnishings for all four rooms; the sitting room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. I love the idea of dollshouses within dollshouses, and this one feels especially charming as it is designed for children. After all, every nursery needs a dolls’ house.

All the items in the Nursery Nostalgia Collection will be available unpainted and in kit form, allowing you to personalise each piece and truly make it your own. The kits come beautifully packaged with full instructions and clear illustrations. After the fair, the collection will also be available through the My Miniature World website, and I’m sure it will continue to grow over time.

At the fair, the entire collection will be displayed together in a small nursery vignette, allowing visitors to see how all the pieces work together in one complete scene. This little display brings the collection to life and offers inspiration for decorating nursery rooms and miniature spaces.

In less than two weeks, I will be in Houten at Stand No. 47, and I truly hope you will stop by to see the Nursery Nostalgia Collection in person.

That’s all for today. I hope you enjoy this new collection as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Make sure to stay tuned for the next updates and the latest news.

Take Care and  See You Soon.

Hugs,

Rebecca xxxx
