A doll's house auction with a difference...

Bonhams in London are holding an auction of doll's houses tomorrow in aid of Kids, the disabled children's charity.
Each of the twenty houses available has been designed by a top architect in collaboration with an artist and must include a unique feature that makes life easier for a child with a disability.

Here's just a few of the twenty up for sale...




To see all the houses, find out more about the project...and maybe place a bid...go to the interactive fundraising site...
