Where in Australia can you but 'princess house' merchandise?
My daughters were party plan sales consultants for Princess House a few years ago when the company went bust here. Later on while working in a gift store one of our sales agents came in with a bunch of Princess House stuff among the things he was selling (when I questioned him about it he said it was some stuff that his company had purchased along the way - he had not even heard of Princess House.) I now search eBay for pieces that need replacing and have attempted to contact their American base but to no avail as yet. Jenny Atkins
