I guess I should put my coffee cup down and clean up a little around the dollhouse ...
It is getting a little dusty and could use some freshening up ...
Although I'd rather just sit here ...
Or here ...
Or here ...
Or here ...
At least my desk is nice and tidy ...
And speaking of NICE - dear Michele of Ohio found these two little cross-stitched hand towels at her church bazaar and thought that they would be perfect for my dollhouse and of course they ARE!!!!
Don't they just melt your heart? Oh they are so sweet Michele, as are YOU!! Thank you VERY VERY much!!!
Yes, I also need to dust the top of the kitchen cabinets ...
But this little one is needing my YOUR attention ...
This little girl is the brand new resident dollhouse doggy. I thought she was going to be named Little Maggie after our doxie diva, but NOOOOOOO - our Miss Maggie is insulted. Yes - INSULTED. VERY insulted. She said no way - she said she absolutely does NOT look like this ...
I told Maggie that was fine. And that I would ask you for name suggestions. (Yes she is spoiled and yes she always gets her way)
SO - pretty please with lots of Milk Bones on top - what shall we name our Daisy Cottage Dollhouse dachshund?
I'll pick one of your suggestions - and in the meantime I'll try to get something done around here.
;-)
xo,
Kim
Oh, Kim, your little house is so cute. I'm puttering and picking up and cleaning around my house today - my big one, not anything so teeny, tiny as yours. Your dollhouse doggy is so sweet. Poor Maggie! She must be afraid she's being replaced! I have to think about names. Be back with my thoughts.

Your little dollhouse is too sweet and so much like your real dollhouse that it is amazing!
I think that sweet li'l pup should be named Daisy!
Have a Blessed week!
Posted by: sharron | October 26, 2009 at 12:01 PM
I am so ready to move in to this dollhouse!! I guess we girls just never grow up when it comes to something like this!!
The new family pup is adorable. I am terrible with names. I had an alphabetical list of names whne I went to the hospital to deliver my girls. One is named Abigail and the other is Emily...which goes to show you just how far I got on the list before saying, "Okay. This will do!!" lol!!
Have a happy day, Kim!

I think Daisy is the perfect name for such a cute dog in such a cute dollhouse!
Posted by: Lori | October 26, 2009 at 12:11 PM
Kim,
After following your blog (my Very favorite)for about 5 months now, I finally had to speak up. I am mom to two sweet doxies, Betsy (15 yrs)& Mandy (4 yrs), both short-haired red minis. And speaking of "minis", I think Minnie is the perfect name for your new puppy! (Get it?..."mini"...I knew you would!)
Posted by: Melissa | October 26, 2009 at 12:21 PM
Hi Kim!
I adore your dollhouse! Cute beyond words!
I like the other gals' suggestions of Daisy or Minnie,too! OR how about Blossom? or Minnie Mags?
xo
Posted by: Kelly McMaster | October 26, 2009 at 12:26 PM
My friend's doxie is named Daisy. That would be my first choice.
then I like Dolly (for doll house).
Cheers!
Rita
Posted by: Rita May | October 26, 2009 at 12:26 PM
This just makes me so happy:) I would love love love to have a dollhouse like this one day. I would love to live in a house that looked just like this one day too hahaha.
Posted by: Ashley Schott | October 26, 2009 at 12:34 PM
How cute to have a dollhouse doggie! Maybe Doxie Darling? I do like Blossom and Dolly, as were previously mentioned, also.
Posted by: sondra | October 26, 2009 at 12:40 PM
Your dollhouse just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter.
How about Marigold for your new puppy? It's our Maltipoo's first name, but she goes by her middle name-- Greta.
Have a great week, Kim.
Love, Kelly
Posted by: Kelly | October 26, 2009 at 12:41 PM
Hmmm how about Deb(utante) of Debby..of the dollhouse..
Posted by: bettyann | October 26, 2009 at 12:44 PM
Ok..so Daisey would be the choice of most of us....I would spell it Dazee cause I am in to double ee's~lol
But Doxie...or Doxee was the first choice that came to my mind :)
How cute is your little mascot....and I agree with Maggie~she is one of a kind and looks nothing like her new little friend :)
Posted by: Sheri and Sophee~a | October 26, 2009 at 12:46 PM
You have added so many sweet things to your little dollhouse! I think your new friend should be named "Petals" because although there will only be one true Daisy Cottage, through your inspirational blog-you sprinkle daisy petals into our homes!
Have a great week!
Posted by: Gina | October 26, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Your dollhouse is adorable! I have always wanted one. You have it decorated so nicely, and the little dachshund is adorable as well. I just got a new hamster [I live in an apartment and can't have dogs]and I named her Simcha, which is Hebrew for happiness or joyful. You might like that name, because I know that she will bring you lots of joy as you indulge in your miniature home!
Posted by: Kimberly Padilla | October 26, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Adorable doll house....and dog. I suggest the following:
Brandi
Gretchen
Hannah
Laurel
I had a Maggie and a Brandi. Friends/family had the others. Such wonderful dachsunds!
Posted by: Pat | October 26, 2009 at 12:56 PM
Oh my goodness Kim! Your little dollhouse looks JUST like Daisy Cottage! Just so cute! I love your little Maggie dog too.
I know the REAL Miss Maggie won't have it but I think "Mini Mags" is a great name!
Now I want a mini daschund for MY dollhouse!
Posted by: kathi | October 26, 2009 at 01:02 PM
How about Dolly?
Posted by: Karla Nathan | October 26, 2009 at 01:02 PM
Molly has a doxie next door friend, whose name just happens to be Daisy. So I will throw the name, Daisy in the hat.
Posted by: Pat@Back Porch Musings | October 26, 2009 at 01:36 PM
How about Miss Mia...
Posted by: Cathy | October 26, 2009 at 02:00 PM
Your doll house is just so adorable.
All the little details are what make it so special.
And now, a new pup!
My suggestion is Maisy, kind of a mix of Daisy and Maggie.
Surely, Maggie won't object to that!
Posted by: paintergal | October 26, 2009 at 02:03 PM
So everyone seems to be picking girl names but I immediately thought, "That's a boy dog" so he needs a boy name. And as a grandmother of two grandsons I love my boys! So Miss Maggie, you need a brother. So here's my 2 suggestions; Maxx(it sounds good with Maggie), or Reuben(I have a friend with a doxie with that name).
Posted by: Chris@Cats on my Quilts | October 26, 2009 at 02:05 PM
I'd name her "Preciosa"--for precious!
Hugs

Posted by: cielo | October 26, 2009 at 02:06 PM
Ok well how about Sunny for all the sunshine you bring to us every day and that could be a girl or boy!
Hugs~Kelly
Posted by: Kelly~Rose Vine Cottage | October 26, 2009 at 02:14 PM
I immediately thought of Daisy as well!
Brenda
Posted by: Brenda Kula | October 26, 2009 at 02:25 PM
Hi KIm,
Love your dollhouse and all it's furniture. Everything is so colourful and cute. Love also those knitted centres, and cushion covers.
Now I'm sure you're confused with all the names, and good ones for all different reasons. May I suggest Eiggam, which is Maggie spelt backwards. Just a thought.
Fay Marie
Posted by: Fay Marie | October 26, 2009 at 03:21 PM
First name I thought of was "May"...as in "Maggie May". I'm a Rod Stewart fan.
: )
Love that sweet dollhouse!!
Posted by: Marie | October 26, 2009 at 03:32 PM
I just love your dollhouse and the teeny tiny doxie. I have Maggie's twin I think and her name is Dixie Belle.
Posted by: Anna McD | October 26, 2009 at 03:35 PM
pssst Marie....
"May" is Maggie's middle name! After the Rod Stewart song! ;-)

Me
Posted by: Daisy Cottage | October 26, 2009 at 03:36 PM
Hi Kim, How about MADDIE? Madeline. Then you would have cute matchy names. Sweet dollhouse....I think we are all still children inside. I am! ;0)
Posted by: Joanna Peck | October 26, 2009 at 03:41 PM
My suggestion for a name for the mini-doxie is Minnie.
Posted by: Susan Ramey Cleveland | October 26, 2009 at 03:48 PM
Hi Kim,
How about Dilly, Milly, Molly or Winnie! Good luck!
Posted by: Dina | October 26, 2009 at 03:50 PM
You all are sooooooo cute....
Love these!!!!!!

Me
Posted by: Daisy Cottage | October 26, 2009 at 04:01 PM
Kim, I want to move right in your dollhouse! Oh, how adorable! I'm still trying to furnish mine, oops, I mean Cecelia's, and I found the cutest pink check sofa... but Mr. Magpie said it looked like it came out of a frat house and had beer and other things on it! ;-) So, I passed it by.
Okay, name? What about Bridgette? I think that's a cute German name for that little Doxie. Bridgette of Daisy Cottage. Or what about Daisy the Doxie??? I like that a LOT.
Love to you...
XO,
Sheila :-)

Posted by: faythe | October 26, 2009 at 04:38 PM
Oh stop! I can't believe how cute and perfect this doll house is! the teeny mug that says "Daisy", the little basket of roses, the cross stitch towels! The teeny glass chicken, O my gosh! Where on earth do you find these things? And to top it all off, you have a mini maggie (kind of like mini-me?) lol, maybe thats what her name should be:>)
Posted by: Kathleen Grace | October 26, 2009 at 04:38 PM
How about Maisy??? A cross between Daisy Cottage and Maggie? Maisy?? I like it!! hehehe!
Posted by: Jenny The Red Bulletin Board | October 26, 2009 at 05:02 PM
Kim,
My Doxie would be delighted if she had a mini named after her...She is a 10 year old black and tan short haired and her name is Schatzie, that's German for "Little" darling...I love your doll house so much I have convinced my darling hubby to build one for me..Of course I'm waiting...
Posted by: Rita Larson | October 26, 2009 at 05:06 PM
Maggie may not like it, but the dog dolly DOES remind me of her except with a haircut. Maggie DID get a haircut on one of your posts, and if I remember correctly, Maggie didn't like the haircut. No wonder she says, "No way--it's NOT me." That's understandable. I would vote, therefore, based on this premise, and call the dolly--"Mini May Buzzed"
Posted by: Suzanne | October 26, 2009 at 05:11 PM
Your dollhouse is every bit as pretty and sunny as your real house! I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.
Dust is an eternal problem in my dollhouse...and the real house!
Mercedes
Posted by: Mercedes | October 26, 2009 at 05:16 PM
This is easy, she's "Little Maggie". Mickie agrees, so there you go, Mickie is Never Wrong, just ask her!
Posted by: Bobbi | October 26, 2009 at 05:40 PM
You make me want to take out a dollhouse and decorate..I have both our daughters:) they went on to have 4 boys:) So cute! I love your music too.
It's a very cute place here:)
Posted by: Monique | October 26, 2009 at 05:44 PM
Mickie didn't realize that Maggie was in a snit over the name thing, we read way too fast. Still, tell Maggie we wish that she would re-think her position, after all, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. And if ever there was a doxie girl who deserved flattery, it is our own Miss Maggie...
Posted by: Bobbi | October 26, 2009 at 05:46 PM
I think you should name that sweet little pup Lucky...because all your readers know she's the luckiest little dollhouse pup in the world :O)
Posted by: Katherine Ann | October 26, 2009 at 05:57 PM
My first thought was Daisy, like alot of others! How about Daffodil, Daffy for short? That was our neighbor's dog's name, when I was a little girl, and I just loved it!
Posted by: Carol @ Old Glory Cottage | October 26, 2009 at 06:42 PM
I think "Minnie" or "Daisy" would be cute! Your little house is looking so sweet-- I LOVE the aqua oven mit and hot pad. Soooo cute! I love that little apron too!
Hugs,
Jill
Posted by: Jill | October 26, 2009 at 07:19 PM
Well, I also have two doxies! Bailey is 6 and a red shorthair mini. Bessie is 4 and a shorthair as well, but she's a white with black spots piebald. And she's supposed to be a mini, but . . . well . . . not so much! Anyway, everyone took my names, except I was thinking about types of daisies, and Shasta is my favorite, and Gloriosa daisies are pretty, so Gloria or Glory would be pretty, too. Love your dollhouse! Becky
Posted by: Becky G. | October 26, 2009 at 07:28 PM
Hey Miss Kim, I love your doll house!!! It is such a sweet little reflection of you. The name I thought of was Miss Margarita which is spanish for daisy. I love your blog and all you share. HTH Janet
Posted by: Janet K.. | October 26, 2009 at 07:39 PM
I love how everything looks scale sized in the dollhouse.
And believe it or not, the moment I saw the new doggie, I totally thought it looked like a Daisy.....and I'm sure I'm not the first one with THAT idea!
Posted by: RockerJewlz | October 26, 2009 at 07:49 PM
How about a male friend....Winston is the first that comes to mind....quite refined....lol
Posted by: Lynne | October 26, 2009 at 07:59 PM
Very cute pictures, Kim. Oh, you missed a tiny, tiny spot over there. Name suggestion for the little daschund - what about Lacey? Do you think Maggie would like that?
Posted by: Diane | October 26, 2009 at 08:06 PM
Well Kim,
I agree- Daisey would be the perfect name! (Second only to Lil Maggie, though. I agree also Imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery!
Glad you like the tiny towels, they look great in your sweet wee house. One of these days I need to come over and play!!!!
Posted by: Michele | October 26, 2009 at 08:46 PM
Oh that little puppy is so cute...perfect for the doll house.I think her name should be Dear Daisy or Daisy Dear.
She'll be needing a little cozy doggie bed.
All so cute.
Posted by: Debbie from Vancouver Island Canada | October 26, 2009 at 08:53 PM
Too cute! I love the house Kim...I have one in the attic that I should "dust" and add a pup to. I love the names that have already been suggested, especially Daisy and Max.
Have fun naming you not so furry friend.
Ciao bella,
Suzanne
Posted by: Suzanne | October 26, 2009 at 09:01 PM
Well, my first thought was Minnie... And then, I also like Tinker and Dixie.
MimiG
Posted by: MimiG | October 26, 2009 at 09:03 PM
Love your little house; but, are we sure it's a little girl dog... because, the name Duke came to me when I read this little story... it might not upset Maggie as much if it is a boy dog... but; after you recheck to see if it really is a little girl... how about Lucy?? I like Daisy; but, we want her to have her own identity, right... ??
Posted by: Debb | October 26, 2009 at 09:52 PM
Oh Kim, what a fabulous doolhouse! It takes me back in time to the days when I could sit and play. Now there is a real house to keep and it's just not as charming. Hope all is well.
xo, Jennifer
Posted by: Jennifer @ Fiddle Dee Dee | October 26, 2009 at 10:12 PM
What a fun name ideas!
Put them in a hat and let Maggie pick one.
After all, as we say around here, it's all about the dog. :)
Hugs, Donna
Posted by: Donna, The Decorated House | October 26, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Hi Kim-I was thinking "Maisy" too. I love that name and it is a tribute to Daisy and Maggie. Maisy Sue, Maisy Lou or Maisy Jane-LOL! What ever you come up with will be perfect. Love the dollhouse and everything Daisy Cottage. Luv~Mary
Posted by: Mary Bernhagen | October 26, 2009 at 10:55 PM
How about Maisey?
Maggie + Daisey = Maisey
Posted by: jan | October 26, 2009 at 10:56 PM
I do love Daisy was also thinking Valentina (she's such a sweetheart). I know need to get a life lolol.
Posted by: lucy | October 26, 2009 at 11:11 PM
Well, it's been a joy to see your post and to read all of the comments.
I think you should name the new pup darling, as you are one for sure. :)
Posted by: dale | October 26, 2009 at 11:32 PM
So CUTE. How about naming the doggie Dottie?
Posted by: Toni from NC | October 26, 2009 at 11:32 PM
Just like the big Daisy cottage - so neat. I think you tiny dog could be a Maisie.... (a mix of Maggie and Daisy ..) or maybe Mags - because Maggie is right... the tiny one isn't wholly like her... just a bit
xx
Posted by: Lauree | October 26, 2009 at 11:41 PM
Hi Kim!
Your post was darling as usual! I love your photography SO MUCH! As for a name for your little dachschund...I'm thinking "Dollie", since she does live in the cutest doll house EVER!
Layla
Posted by: Layla Palmer | October 26, 2009 at 11:46 PM

Home Sweet Home! Absolutely adorable and charming little dollhouse! How about Dolly or Blossom or Tiny for the little doggie? Of course Daisy is sweet too.
Posted by: Bonnie | October 27, 2009 at 01:30 AM
Hello Kim,
I vote for Alfie as that is my dog's name! I also like the other suggestions of Lucky, Minnie and Sunny as well. I adore all your dollshouse posts! I did try to comment yesterday on your beautiful blooms post but for some reason it wouldn't work. It kept dropping out. I wanted to say a very big thank you for visiting me at my Blog and leaving a comment and following me you darling thing. I was so thrilled as I know how busy you are and what an enormous following you have. It means the world to me that you cared enough to pop in. Thanks again, you and Daisy Cottage are my inspiration. I showed my Daisy this post and she said, 'but big girls don't have dollshouses!' Tee, hee. I think all big girls should have dollshouses! xx
Posted by: Josephine Tale Pedder | October 27, 2009 at 01:54 AM
I think the "little" doggie should be named Mitzi!!!!
Posted by: Aloisia Tomschin | October 27, 2009 at 08:30 AM
I vote for Maisy, too. The dollhouse is looking adorable. I hope to see it again, decorated for Christmas.((hugs))
Posted by: Jules | October 27, 2009 at 09:02 AM
I name everyone LuLu right now! I think it's such a sweet name! But Petals, Daisy and Maisy are all cute! What fun you are having! Wish I could come and play!
Posted by: Lavender Dreams | October 27, 2009 at 11:06 AM
Hi Kim,
Oh my I do adore your doll house. Its a sweet little dream of a cottage and the crocheted pillows are just so perfect and the red wing back chair is just a cute as a button.!
(I want one too).
Enjoy your day and keep creating,

Smiles from MI
Posted by: Audrie from Mi | October 27, 2009 at 11:51 AM
A tiny dog needs a tiny name, so I suggest "Meg". What do you think? Weill if not then I suggest Daisy after your blog, but she simply must were a collar with a daisy on it!
Posted by: TheCottageGirl | October 27, 2009 at 11:53 AM
I love love love the doll house. I had one as a little girl & now I want to do one for my little girl.
My suggestion for the sweet tiny doggie is Maisie Dobbs. Masie is a pet name for the name Margaret. See the connection? ;)
Posted by: Jennifer Schwarz | October 27, 2009 at 12:16 PM
I'm in love with your little house (and bigger house). I lost my little doxie a couple of years ago. Her name was Emma. I would be so honored for you to name your little doxie after her. My stepdaughter has 2 doxies... Hershey and Coco... Thanks for your sweet, sweet blog.
Posted by: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=635536042 | October 27, 2009 at 01:48 PM
Darling Kim, I think your dollshouse dachshund just has to be 'ZOE' - after, of course, the very first lover of Daisy Cottage.
Completely off the subject and as, a by- the-way comment, did you know that they have just brought out a new perfume called, "Daisy". Had a free 'poof' at a beautiful new dress shop here in Nelson and ............... it is............ divine!!! Hugs, Francesca
Posted by: Francesca | October 27, 2009 at 02:44 PM
Your doll house is adorable as usual. I would have to name her Daisy's Mini Mavin. Daisy, Mavin or m&m for short.

Omgosh! That is super dooper cute!
Rita
Posted by: Red Pepper Quilts | October 27, 2009 at 07:08 PM
I differ in popular opinion. I think the new sweet Daisy pup should be named Sunshine.
Posted by: Ressie Malone | October 28, 2009 at 10:49 AM
How about Marguerite - it means daisy and goes with Maggie. Id call her Margee for short -
Love your dollhouse, your cottage and Maggie May and especially your positive blog - brightens my day.
