Tee - Pee Crafts

Now this was a stall you had to fight to get close too. All day it was jam packed with people and I managed to get to it just before lunch where I bumped into another friend and we discussed what we were going to try and make with our finds.

I loved all the little bits on Tee - Pee Crafts and think it has to be top of the list for most people as once you start looking your ideas just start flowing.

I got this real marble table top for the witch to have in the center of her room, I couldn't decide between the table legs they had they where either too low but perfect shape or the right hight but more suitable for a Georgen or Victorian property.

I got these two frames, a dragon and these two finding that I have plans for and a little ring for a base of a crystal ball.

I love my little haul but now I have it all home I wish I had picked up a couple more bit lol

Richard Stacey, Heidi Ott & Devon Dolls House Delights

Now onto the witches cottage...

I bought some slate from the £1 reduced stand on Richard Stacey's stall, at this point I hadn't seen the boxes in person so wasn't sure how much I would need, but having got it all home and had a little play I've got more than enough thankfully. So the witches cottage will have a real slate floor once I have worked out how to cut it without breaking too much.

At lunch I met up with some lovely friends that I have been talking to for years and Helen from Vinweeda Magic showed me some scales she bought for an apothecary she was planning to do in the future and as soon as I saw it I said to her "Ooooo you could weigh out witches potions on that", so just had to go get myself one too and some weights. These were from Heidi Ott.

Devon Dolls House Delights had lots of beautiful things on offer they had two amazing dragon beds and a carriage being pulled by a dragon. I saw this beautiful curled up dragon that I thought was so sweet. I thought it could be the witches baby dragon that had a bad spell put on him that turned him into stone by a rival witch.

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....
