Unfortunately, the company that made these, California Creations, went out of business over ten years ago but they released a new collection of houses every year for about fifteen years. Luckily, I’ve been able to find a zillion of these houses on eBay and I’ve been having so much fun hunting them down! Very quickly, my small village of four houses rescued from the garage has become a bustling city of thirty two adorable little houses and shops with a Cavzilla guarding over them…..
It’s taking me FOREVER to paint each house but I’m having so much fun doing it. I actually painted and shaded each individual, teeny, tiny brick on this one and used six different colors so it would look more realistic.
There’s still a lot of work left to do on this one but I’m so in love with how my soft, faded, shabby chic brick turned out that I had to show an “In Progress” photo! One house halfway done! Thirty one more to go!
Hugs,
Jenny
P.S. If anyone knows where I can get some of these houses other than eBay and etsy, please let me know! They’re sold under the name California Creations or Creative Crafts and the average size is about 5″.
