Carol Smith, Shepherd Miniatures & Helen's Houses

I bought this little red toaster from Carol Smith, Unfortunately I'm having trouble photographing it but it has a spring for the toast to pop as well.

I got a dog lead from Shepherd Miniatures which had lots of lovely items on sale, a huge stall full of minis.

I also got lots of plates, side plates and bowls large and small and a jug from Helen's Houses

Although she said she wouldn't put them away until I have built her somewhere to put them

Elf

As you all know I have the Elf kitchen and I thought as I post pictures of my haul from miniatura I would keep them in the shops I bought them from so they all get the recognition of the lovely bits.

I didn't buy much from Elf yesterday but it was lovely finally getting meet Elizabeth after many emails and telephone conversations with her it was nice to be able to put a face to the voice and messages.

I did buy a lovely little sink and tap from her for a convert I'm going to do to a dressing table a friend sent me. 

2 New Properties

I have two new properties. YAY!

I now have two pre loved shop boxes from a lovely friend. Ive decided to turn one into a witches cottage and I'm still deciding what to do with the other one.

In real life I am a creative assistant for a chandelier company that makes hand made chandeliers, hubby said I should make a miniature lighting shop lol but I'm not so sure about that one.

One I make a start on the witches cottage I will make another blog page for it as it wont be modern lol but until then I will share with you all the goodies I have bought for it at miniature here.

Now all I need to do is decide which shop box to use for it....

NEC Spring Miniatura

Well I'm tired and excited and buzzing all in one at the moment. Ive just got back from Spring Miniatura and I have had a wonderful time. I got to meet some great friends and wonderful artist. It was truly wonderful to be able to put voices to names and pictures lol

Ive fallen in love with a modern property, well actually three property's that I will do a blog about shortly. Ive now got two lovely shop boxes from a friend that I'm going to  renovate. I have decided to do one of these as a witches cottage, so acquired many witch and magical items on my trip. I also managed to get some small pieces for my modern dolls house.

But my favorite item of the day is a tiny baby made by Julie Campbell from Bellabelle Dolls Pictures to follow.
