In recent years, the market for crafts and hobbies has exploded. People are forgoing expensive country club memberships and fancy vacation for this less expensive entertainment that can be just as fun and exciting. A new hobby that is sweeping the nation is collecting miniature dollhouses. This is an easy hobby to learn about and it can hold the attention of small children to retired seniors.

Why is this hobby becoming so popular? What is it about miniature dollhouses that are so captivating? These collections are so exciting because it's like creating your own little doll house community. Perhaps you never had the house you always dreamed of but that's no worry, just buy the dollhouse version. You can style and decorate the house just as you would if it were your full sized home. You can purchase a fully assembled house, or a kit that requires you to build the house yourself. Each style of doll house has great benefits, and it simply depends which kind interests you.

When people purchase a miniature house, it gives the endless opportunities to expand and decorate for far less expensive that a full sized home. For example, one can buy furniture, dolls, vehicles, decorations, appliances, clothing and much more. Collectors can choose whether they want to have a white doll house or a green doll house, hard wood floors or carpets and even a balcony or a patio. This is what makes collecting miniature dollhouses so exciting and fulfilling.

When a person first hears the word "dollhouse," perhaps the immediately things of a bright pink dream house for a little girl. This is not always the case! Collectors around the world know that these high end doll houses are for much more than just playing. These extensive collections give people something to dedicate themselves too and something to share with any generation of friends or family.

Collecting dollhouses is a very niche market and the people involved can become very close. There are many online communities dedicated to sharing information and discussing dollhouse secrets. People all over the world can bond over this shared interest and it creates a sense of excitement and closeness with others who have the same interests. A person can find many places to discuss and participate in dance, sports, art and music, and this hobby should have a place to come together as well.
