| Introduction | My name is David Furlong. I was born in Connecticut and lived in the states of New York, Vermont, and now Massachusetts. I ran my own toy business “Timbertoys of Vermont”, crafting and selling wooden toys throughout the country for ten years. I developed an interest in New England architecture and historic preservation and created “Vintage Village,” which replicated New England designs in wooden miniatures. I worked as a carpenter at the Shelburne Museum for ten years and then and as project manager for a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for another ten years restoring, and improving the utilities in historic buildings so the public could enjoy them. My work there included researching historic buildings and interpreting exhibits accordingly. I am completing a “deep energy retrofit” on our 1920s home. Now I have returned to crafting my wooden miniatures and am calling my business “Vintage Village Designs by David Furlong.” This blog is about these designs and how you can buy them. |
