Miniatures in Pink



Construction on the Texas Rosebud Cottage is moving along despite
glitches in the construction schedule.  My construction manager aka
David ~ my hubby, had to go out of town on business.



I have a lot of furniture that is just waiting to for it's new home.  In fact,
I have to hold off on any new additions until the move in date arrives.
I don't want to have too much furniture and accessories because although
there is another dollhouse kit waiting in the wings, who knows when it
will be completed.



But I did want to take a few minutes to show you how the color pink plays
a big role in the cottage dollhouse and especially to congratulate Beverly for
six years of Pink Saturday!  That is quite a bit of pink, but then for many of
us there is no such thing as too much pink.



And my hubby thinks I have too many full size dishes!



Pink is such an ideal color for a dollhouse.  Everything looks so sweet
in pink.






Thank you Beverly.  Pink Saturday has always provided me with so much
"pinkspiration".  Congratulations on six years and hoping that you will
keep this party going for many years to come!

Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  3. So sweet. I'd love to know where you buy miniatures from. I've got so many dollhouses and yet I'm always on the hunt for more little touches. I've got a couple of resources that I order online from, but I'm always open to more vendors. Have fun playing!

    1. Thanks Kim. I have purchased many miniatures from miniatures.com and also from New England miniatures. I have found some wonderful items from ebay vendors too. There are many talented miniaturists on ebay too. Cynthia from Cynthia's Cottage Design has wonderful minis but her items sell out immediately on etsy. Cynthia Sperin, Kim Saulter and Moritza Moran have a wonderful new publication called "Miniologie". Check it out for some great ideas. Visit Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. She is as dollhouse crazy as I am. What I would like to do next is to start making minis. Good luck in the hunt. It is becoming an obsession with me!

  10. I always wanted a dollhouse when I was younger, and they still intrigue me to this day. Pink looks fabulous with this one, and I'm just in awe of all the wonderful furniture and accessories available!!!

    Hello to you and to sweet little Bentley! Have a great holiday weekend!

  11. That hutch is lovely. I build miniature furniture & would love to build one like that. I sent you a pic of my yellow food safe w' screens in the doors. You said I should sell on Etsy. If I ever get enough inventory I'd love to try it out. I don't know if you read all of your hound lamp comments. I left you a compliment on your mixed berry muffins from a previous blog. So maybe if you read this one you can go back & read that one. I can't wait to see your finished cottage. I love the pinks & greens together. So pretty!

  12. Just such a house with all the perfect furnishings is every little (and not so little!|) girl's dream. Now that I have two granddaughters I might need to explore this field!
