Hello everyone! So happy to join this forum! My name is Laney and I live in North Carolina with my husband where I work as a therapist. I have been making little houses for almost a year - and lurking around this forum during that time, too. I discovered glitter houses after the Big Indoor Trains site came up in a google search last summer. I have made many using Howard's wonderful patterns. (Thank you Howard!) Then I started drafting my own designs/patterns. I have never seen any vintage Putz houses in real life, but I love seeing the collections, repairs and reproductions that you guys share. I have learned so much from the members of this forum. Thanks to Paul for keeping up this site and for adding me today. It's so nice to "meet" all of you.

Here is an "in progress" picture of the first few houses I made last summer.

Hi, Laney, thanks for signing up. You'll meet some very nice people here. - Paul

Laney...

Hello and welcome!...I do see a few familiar looking houses!...I can tell from the photo that you have it all figured out!...

Speaking of therapy...making little houses is the best therapy I can afford!...

My very best regards...Howard...

Lovely! You do such beautiful work, and I love the colors. This world needs more glitter!

I think you'll find the forum to be a most welcoming place, full of great ideas and lots of friendly folks.

Welcome!
