This week on Wooden Wednesday we are celebrating achieving our 2000th follower on Facebook. As promised to our Facebook friends, we are giving away one of our beautiful wooden dolls’ houses. After lots of feedback on our page and also directly to us by email, we are pleased to announce that the most requested dolls’ house is the utterly gorgeous Le Toy Van Lavender House.Lavender House is a magnificent wooden dolls’ house, painted (as you would expect) in a gentle Lavender colour, with side window boxes, lovely opening windows with shutters and a detachable roof. Inside the house there is plenty of room for dolls, miniature furniture and other tiny accessories that make dolls’ house play so delightful.

How to enter
This week Rob from the WoodenToyShop team is running the Windermere Marathon. To enter this competition all you have to do is guess how long (hours, minutes, seconds) it will take Rob to complete the course. As well as guessing Rob’s time, you also need to tell us why you think your children will enjoy playing with Lavender House.
Conditions of entry
All entries must be made underneath this blog article and must contain your guess and your comment. We will accept one entry per household and can only deliver the prize to UK addresses. In the event of us receiving more than one correct entry, we will pick a winner at random.
As an added incentive, if our winning guess is within 10 minutes of Rob's finishing time, we will add a set of Deluxe Dolls' House Furniture to the prize.
This competition closes at midday on Sunday 20th May. The winner will be announced on this blog the following morning.
And that’s it folks, best of luck to everyone!
3hrs and 33 mins
I will guess at 3 hours ,8 mins and 45 seconds.
My Great niece would love this dolls house , she is really girly and would spend hours playing with it!
Good luck with the marathon Rob, there is a full and half marathon - not sure which one you are doing. If you do the full I think 4hr 52min 45 seconds, half it will be 2hr 5min 34 seconds.
Thanks

My little girl would love this pretty dolls house as she loves imaginative play, & I love her to play with the things I used to as a girl too. (I'm sure her older brother would secretly enjoy it too!)
I think he will do it 4hrs 23mins
My children would love playing with this as they already own a few budkins but they dont have a house to live in it would be nice to have somewhere to tuck them up in bed at night.
Good luck Rob :-)

My son is has just turned 3 and loves playing house, this would go nicely in his bedroom so he can play in the morning and keep himself busy, instead of his all beeping garbage truck that wakes mummy and daddy up!
I think Rob will do it in 3hrs 27min if a full marathon! my little girl has always wanted a proper wooden dolls house as she loves role play.
I think 3 hours 58 minutes.
Good Luck Rob!
My son and daughter (and myself!) would love to play with the Lavender House because it's big enough for them to play together without arguing (hopefully) and Mummy has aspirations for it's interior design....!!
I'm going for 3hrs and 26mins - good luck to him :)
My children have never had a proper dolls house and this looks amazing.

My kids would love this dolls house, they love playing with the one they have at the moment, having 2 dolls houses would give them double enjoyment, and I can just imagine the stories they would come up with as to who lived in which house, and whose bedrooms was whose :)

My daughters would love to play with it, my 3 year old can put all her imagination in it and my 9 month old can watch her from a safe distance so she can't eat it!
Good Luck with the marathon Rob! If it's full marathon my guess is 4hrs 32mins (and 8 secs!) xx
I'd love to win this for my daughter, we love 'proper' toys in our house & this would be loved and played with for hours I'm sure! :)
Putting the name Windermere makes the marathon sound extra grueling and ATB for the run! My guess 3 hours 57 25!
I am quite quite sure my 18 month GD would LOVE to play with this - I mean what little girl wouldn't? Sugar and spice and all things nice ;-)
I reckon 3h 52 mins 23 seconds.
My little boy is really into 'playing house' at the moment. He has some wooden people but we make do with a house made out of cardboard boxes (luckily he has a great imagination!). He'd love playing with a proper house like this (and I think it's really pretty!).
Good luck!!! I think the time will be 4hrs 33 minutes and 52 seconds
my boys would love to play with this, as they enjoy roleplay and who says dolls houses are for girls, hey ;)
I'll guess... 3hrs and 13 mins - Good luck!

I think: 4hrs 32 mins and 16 seconds. Good luck! My daughter would love this dolls house (my son too I think!).
I think my son would love opening and closing the door and windows the most at the moment!!! He's one and that is his favourite activity :)

I would love to win this for my niece. She's the first girl of her generation and she loves 'helping' my sister-in-law to tidy up! She also feeds the dog and does all sorts of helpful things round the house so I think she would adore her own little house to look after! I also remember the doll's house I had as a child and I think every little girl should have one for the sheer creativity they encourage x
