Holiday Shopping in England

Here are some photos of my holiday souvenirs. I visited Dollshouse Emporium (in Ripley) last week.



Minis for my Buttercup dollshouse: a bike, tudor style handles, garden troughs (for my "spring" flowers), jugs, a heart shape jelly mould, Dexter the busy digger dog (I have two of them in our garden!!!!)



Souvenirs for my friends Annette & Bärbel



spindels (for my shabby chic swap), a little stove (maybe for the Lisa house). The book was a gift from the shop.



In the shop were some special bargain bins (the minis are imperfect). The chair has no cushion (I always change them so no problem), the dog has no caudal and the bird bath is broken. The chair is for my French house.

Holiday

I am flying to England this night. I am back on May 15,2011.
I wish everyone a nice sunny week and lots of fun with our hobby.
Kisses to you

Buxus topiary bird

This was a little yellow ceramic bird......and now I have a buxus topiary bird.
I used some green (from the model railway)

I bought also a green tree for my Buttercup garden. Maybe I can paint it a little bit (I don't like the plastic). Any ideas? I like also a treebank but i am not a woodworm.
I have so many ideas for my little Buttercup (I tought it is only a little house = little project...now I know it is not so!!!!!)

I found these printies on the net. You can use them for your minis but also for 1:1 projects.

garden tray

This is for my Buttercup dollshouse. I will add some garden printies so it looks more realistic.

Cottage Birdhouse

I finish my little country birdhouse for my Buttercup dollshouse. It is a laser kit by Karen Benson Miniatures. I hope to find some swallows or other little birds. Maybe I find them on the dollshouse fair 1zu12 in Germany.
Or do you know an online shop?

I wish everyone a nice sunny sunday
