Maybe donate to somewhere like a quirky tea room for display? Or is there a market for them? Maybe sell them and buy something to remember them by ?

Can you put them on display in your house somewhere? They sound lovely.

The Museum of Childhood?
Or the one at the NT Property at Sudbury Hall if you are near either.

Oh dear, I do sympathise - I have spent the afternoon trying to throw out rationalise everything in the little bedroom - toys and books, some of it accumulated over several years, and some of it mine from when I was young.
When DGD arrived later I asked her what I should keep and she only mentioned two things that she would really like to keep at our house.

Sorry, but I don't have any sensible suggestions, only sentimental ones (keep them, let someone else make the decision).

Would a children's toy museum be interested in giving them a home. They are such a link to your childhood, that parting with them will be a struggle I should think.

In years gone by I was spent many happy hours making and furnishing dolls houses - my dad made me the first one as well as making my mum a shop. I subsequently made 2 more. Fast forward probably 15 years and I now have the shop and two more houses. I no longer do anything with these and we really need the room - one is stuffed on top of a wardrobe and the others are taking up room in the conservatory. I just don't know what to do with them. They're not toys and wouldn't be suitable for young children to play so I couldn't donate them to a hospital or nursery - equally I can't just throw them out as so many hours (and £'s) were spent on them. There is also the sentimental element given my parent's involvement. My granddaughters are grown up and anyway already have another one I made which resides in their garage and I have no one else to pass them on to. Does anyone have any suggestions what I can do with them? Part of me doesn't want to part with them but I'm pretty sure I'll never go back to the hobby and they should be put to better use than just gathering dust.
