Not All Minis Live in Dollhouses

Just because you don't have a dollhouse, doesn't mean you cannot start a

miniature collection.  I still ~ yes still, have not completed my dollhouse.

In fact, just the other day my hubby suggested that perhaps I start with an

easier model to get started on dollhouse construction.  I think he made a 

very good point.  I seem to be mini builder challenged.

This little Bar Harbor chair and side table used to be in the shabby

chic mini living room.  However, I recently purchased a new chair for

that room, so I decided to put the sweet rocker on one of the shelves

on my little sewing supply cabinet.

Do you see it there on the second shelf?   The table has a porcelain basket 

full of tiny spools of thread, so it's quite happy in it's new spot I think :-)

(Refer to the first pic)

I found this little desk on eBay and instantly fell in love with the color.

It's a vintage piece, and as is so often the case with vintage minis, it is

not truly 1:12 scale and is a tad smaller.  No matter.  I love it on it's own ....

and on this shelf in the guest room.  I think it adds a bit of whimsey to an otherwise

sophisticated space.

The Bar Harbor rocker was replaced by this new pink gingham wing chair.

I have a new coffee table and a new puppy named McDuff too.

I am crazy about that little thatched cottage tea pot!

Check out McDuff.  The little ham wants to be in all the pics :-)

So, as you can see, the miniatures have a couple of shelves in this 

bookcase.  Miniatures are addictive, and you don't have to own a 

dollhouse to enjoy them!
