What inspires a miniature room box??? I've put some together that are pretty nice and in the view of others are great boxes. Now the ones that I have a real passion for are those that start with one or two pieces that absolutely warms my heart. I love the item, I love the way the finished room box looks and most importantly - the box tells a story - although make believe - a real story in my small world.
This little statue is from a novelty catalog and my husband just loved it. It is solar activated and she does the 'queen wave' during daylight hours. I thought great - but it needs something else. That's when I decided it was time to get out all my England things and make a room box.
After getting the cabinet filled with tea items, I figured out a way to do the Royal Robe on a display piece.
Tea items, silver items and some books on English things.
Can you think of England without thinking of the Beatles? I don't think so.
I got this piece done and was so happy with it. The little waving queen looked lovely and wouldn't you know, I picked it up, dropped it; and it was broken and wouldn't wave.
My friend said "You have a house full of your stuff and you break your husband's ONE item?" - Had to order another one of them.
National Dollhouse Miniature month is the full month of October and I will try to posts something that you will find inspiring, enjoyable, and make you happy.

So sorry you dropped the Queen, but at least she still has her head, lol... I love your little room box and you will be getting another queen soon. Mini Hugs, LJ
I just love this. It reminds me of going into an English tea shop. Very creative and the queen is awesome.
