We’re thrilled to share a heartwarming tale about an extraordinary gift we’ve recently received, and the journey we plan to undertake with it.

A generous soul recently walked through our doors carrying a treasure  – an incredible dollhouse. Complete with fittings, the house is a miniature wonderland, evoking memories of childhood whimsy and imaginative play.

Though the temptation to lose ourselves in this charming miniature world is great, we at Howlands have a different plan in mind. This wonderful dollhouse is not for us to play with, but for us to restore and rejuvenate.

We’ve undertaken the mission to revamp this dollhouse, preserving its essence while breathing new life into it.

We’re proud to say that several of our members have eagerly volunteered to take on this endeavour. Armed with brushes, glues, and a whole lot of enthusiasm, they are ready to give the dollhouse a makeover.

It’s a project that will not only keep our members busy but also foster teamwork and creativity.

But the journey doesn’t end with the restoration. Our grand plan for this wonderful dollhouse is to auction it off in hopes of raising funds for Howlands. It’s a beautiful cycle of giving – a generous donation leads to a collaborative restoration project, which will then hopefully bring in funds to help us continue our mission.

We are incredibly thankful for this kind donation and are eagerly looking forward to seeing the transformation of the dollhouse under the skilled hands of our members.

Stay tuned for updates on our restoration project. We can’t wait to share the journey and the final result with you. And remember, every donation, big or small, carries the potential to make a significant impact.
