These bubble gum machines from Steve Good have proven to be popular.
Going to try some with built in coin banks.
I also have had many requests for the nose eyeglass holders next to the dispensers too. (also from a contributor to Steve Good's site)
Added a couple of pics of the doll house my wife is building.

Did you put a finish on the gum machines? They look great - I'm not surprised they sell well. I want to make them for gifts for grandchildren.

Very good indeed.
I like to see folk building their own Dollshouses - much more Fun! than doing a kit.
I tend to wallpaper and router/channel for electrics as I go though as both can get awkward once the House is built.
Keep selling

Hi Sally, I've been leaving just a sanded finish. Takes the worry out of people's misinformation about coatings. Often kids like to decorate them with markers or something. ( I can't bare to watch )

Nice job....How much do you get for them in your neck of the woods. I saw a fella trying to sell em for 25.00 locally he wasn't having much success. But then he didn't do a very good job on sanding them and there were some cobwebs inside one of the jars....I tried to give him some advice and he turned into a real a$$...so up his nose....LO

Good point about the finish. My grandchildren are too old to use markers - maybe stickers. Well if I give them to them - they can do whatever they like - in their own homes. (smile)

You can't help the un-help-able... you can still try... usually to no avail.

I'll bet if the bubble gum machines looked like "oily's" you could sell a bunch of them for $17.95.
