Recent Acquistions

I picked up a few miniature accessories at an estate sale this week.  A mini Victrola, a tiny wooden carved elephant, a brass tea pot with a removable lid, a ceramic picture, a glass pitcher and 4 striped glasses and a chubby little ceramic boy with a movable head!



I am normally not one to put people in my houses or scenes, but this little guy caught my eye.  On another note, I did go back and pick up that house a few weeks ago.  I am currently working with an electrician to make sure the electric system is safe.  More to come on that project. 


(Please disregard the messy studio - Its been a busy few weeks !)

  1. Congratulations on the new house! (The wiring does look a little scary, but sensibly, you are having it checked out.) The roof is very unique! I am sure you will have fun restoring this little gem back to its former glory.
    And by the way, a messy studio is a sign of a true artist!
