The Falkirk Fair

Ooh 70 followers today - I like round numbers! Welcome all!

Ok, an update about my weekend past. In general I have stopped going to fairs in Scotland because they are quite poor. However, every August there is a fair practically on my doorstep and as it combines bears and dolls with dolls houses and miniatures I always make a point of going. I came back with a solitary item, this ...

A 24th scale sink unit for Mulberry Cottage
(I had made one myself but felt it wasn't quite right!)

I also had a really good look at some dolls. I don't usually put dolls in my houses or scenes because the ones in my price range can sometimes look downright scary but I have my eye on a particular little girl for the Laurels nursery from Bellabelle Dolls so I'd better start saving the pennies!

Scottish Miniatura

Yesterday I went through to Edinburgh, Murrayfield Stadium to be precise (home of Scottish Rugby!) for the once-a-year mini-fest that is Miniatura. Shows in Scotland are few and far between so it was the ideal opportunity to stock up. Sadly one particular exhibitor whose stall I was planning to raid wasn't there so here's my, vastly reduced, haul for the day.....

48th scale cottage in kit form from 'Petite Properties'


Assortment of very necessary things!

Fabulously tactile handturned wooden vases made from yew from Kim Selwood (love these!)

I can feel my mini-mojo firing up so now I can get back to work on those unfinished projects. Back soon x
