Raggedy Ann/Andy Store Front! Can you ever have too many?

As most of you know I have quite a passion for Raggedy Ann and Andy.   I seem to acquire lots of them and always love them.    I decided I should do a store front.   I love these candle lanterns.   They keep the dust off the display and they make a very interesting talking point in your collection.   Well here's my latest mini scene.   It is in 1/12 scale.  

I love Raggedy Ann and Andy.   

March OMB

I am really a nut for market stalls.   I did two during March.   One a shell stall and one an apple stall.   I didn't use the stall that came with the kit on the apple stall but will use it in the future.   I love the shelf and I will look for more things to add to it and more to add around the base.   But  they are certainly cute.

Every other picture has a penny in he shot so you can get a good feel of the scale, 1/4 " scale.

Enjoy!!!

Filled Suitcase Swap

Just recently I participated in a filled suitcase swap.   It was really fun and I received from really well done items.    Take a look.   The group that I participated in was a Yahoo Group - Swap Shop.   If you like acquiring more minis and want to participate, I'd rally recommend it.

   

 

 

These are the ones I did.   The one with the white shirt is mine.   I sent all the participants a hat and scarf if they wanted to add more to their suitcase.   Since I collect Raggedy dolls, I included one in each because I was sure they would want to take a doll with them.  

A close up.   These were so much fun.  

The Year of the Rooster or just a change of pace

I've loved roosters forever.   However, I am really out of wall space.   I had my living room wall, behind my husband's desk, with 3 posters on it.   Loved the posters.   The used to hang in my offiece before I retired.   Hated to see them go but was really in need of a change.

 

Well, they are now in storage and replaced with

 

Now, starting on the top left.   I did the 9  little collages, the 3 framed in black in the middle. And the tiny one just below them.   I did the big white and black rooster on a black back ground and I did the fifth one over from the left in the gray frame and I took the picture to the right of that one.   

I love roosters.   Now I'm ready to celebrate the Chinese Year of the Rooster.

I love changes on my walls!!!!

Change of Pace

I was going to post about changing out my Christmas Scenes and realized I hadn't posted here all my Christmas Scenes.   So there they are and then I'll move on.

All these room boxes, both 1/12 scale and 1/4 scale, were displayed in my living room from Thanksgiving weekend until New Year's Day.

They were a delightful display and I always look forward to Christmas to display all of them.

After New Years, I decided I would display Antique Shops.   So here goes:

The quarter scale projects are labeled; everything else is 1/12 scale.   You can see I love the antique theme!!!!  

November and December OMB

Have you missed me.  My one a month projects for November and December are done and both rather small.

November was an art shop

The art shop is small but fillled with stuff 

These little shops will be on my next big project === Main Street.   Still need hot dogs but they will be ready soon.

Stay tuned for more info on Main Street.
