National Dollhouse Miniatures Month

What a great month. I just returned from the Region 2 N doll show in San Francisco. Got some great dolls - especially some mini dolls. The 2 larger dolls (only about 3 inches) are Cathy Hansen dolls and the little baby on pillow is from Maree Massey. Celebrating Minis.

Funky New Raggedies

I had these doll blanks that needed to be dressed. Well, of course, I thought or RA&A. Little off beat, but cute and a nice addition to my ever growing collection.

It's a great day for a picnic

Here's my newest mini scene. I had this candy container and it just fit in the remains of a covered cheese board. Thought it looked like a bear picnic.

Miniature display windows

I have so many little things that need proper homes. Some are so cute that I don't want to lose them in a room box. I have made 3 little boxes that I call display windows. I think they are cute. Enjoy.

Toy Shop

Toys, toys, toys. I love toys and have made and collected lots of them in years and years of swapping. Thought this little background, from one of those printed gift bags, inside a plastic paint can would make a great background. Had an extra plant stand from my last year's trip to the St. Louis Miniature show and thought it would make a great stand for toys. Intend to top off the can with a big red bow and a gift card on the side that says "Santa, I can explain...". Mostly done, thought I would share.

Candle Shop

I love candles and have participated in several swaps where I have accumulated quite a few candles. I also, in my packrat mode, have several of those gift bags with scenes on them. They were quite popular a few years back. I cut wallpaper for the ends, put up plexiglass to keep the bag solid. I haven't quite figured out what to do with the top, but so far the plexiglass keeps it clean. Like the way it looks so far.

Mary Englebreit Clock

I just love everything Mary Englebreit. I am stashing away items to do an entire house, but not quite there yet. I had this borning, nondescript grandfather clock. It made quite a drastic redo. I think it will be just perfect for the house when ready.
