Mary Englebreit Storefront

I just love Mary Englebreit. When I saw this little cannister, I couldn't pass it up. Didn't have a clue as to what I would make of it, but decided it would make a cute store front. I know if I passed a storefront like this, I'd go in and shop.

Grandma's garden

I've had this little grandma for ages. She is so cute. She is a Marcia Brackstorm resin doll. I decided she would be up early. She baked a cherry pie and while it is cooling in the window she surveys her front yard. She is getting ready to replant the front garden, after it lights up a bit and she drinks another cup of coffee and reads the paper. She carries a Hershey bar in her pocket, just in case.

The first picture is not too good, but I am real happy that I was able to make the box, build the corner of the house and attach a frame to the box. I have another one to do and it should be fun too.

The dirt is dried tea leaves ground up in my coffeee grinder. It was sprayed with artistic fixitive to keep buggies out of the scene.

National Dollhouse Miniature Month - Day 31 - Happy Hallowen

I have posted several things on Halloween this month and thought there would not be a better way to end this month of posting than my favorite Halloween scene. This put together in a gift bag (reimforced with foam core) behind Plexiglass. Finished with empty (sorry) candy boxes on top.

I want to shout out a great big Thank You to all my followers. I hope you have enjoyed this month of postings all on miniatures. If you just stopping by, stay awhile. If you are not a regular follower, I'd love to have you register as a follower.

Happy Halloween

National Dollhouse Miniature Month - Day 30 - Ladies Dress Shop Window

If you have been following these posts for National Dollhouse Miniature Month, I have talked about inspiration on these settings. The inspiration for this shop was the little resin models. Found them on a sale rack and they were the perfect size for a 1 inch scale box. Had them for a very long time until I got an empty wooden wine box. Then it all went together.

National Dollhouse Miniature Month - Day 29 - Road Side Stand

This fellow loves the outdoors and loves all the produce at his disposal. Here he is at his roadside stand. One of the things I like about roadside stands is the other things you might find. On the table you will find hand made soap. What a treasure that would be.

National Dollhouse Miniature Month - Day 28 - Let's do more gardening

If you have been following these postings, you probably have guessed that I like unusual containers. I had this lovely large jar with a great green lid. I decided to stage a gardening scene within the jar. I have taken several pictures from the top; because flash bouncing over glass doesn't create the best pictures.

National Dollhouse Miniature Month - Day 27 - Let's garden

absolutely loved this hutch. It is a little large but still within the 1 inch scale. I decided to add my gardening items to the arrangement. I loved the lawnmower and tools that I put behind the hutch. I wanted something to look at from any angle. Still need a few more pieces, but certainly is a fun piece to view.
