REBECCA MICALLEF was born in Canada, but grew up in Malta where she still lives with her husband and three children. At the age of seventeen, she started building her very first collector’s dolls’ house, which took six years as she was entirely self-taught and hand-crafted the majority of the miniatures herself. Since then, she has built over 35 dolls’ houses in different styles and periods. She has written a number of articles and tutorials for dolls’ house magazines and can often be found at international dolls’ house shows sharing her passion and knowledge.
