New Curtians and Illustrations to Match

These are Curtains are from Curtains Petite on eBay UK. She's great and there is a neat story. I'll just copy and paste her e-mail to me.

'Hi...wow, isnt that weird!!! Yes, of course I mean Ernest H. Shepard! We have been researching our family tree for many years and a few years ago I found a great Aunt...we had a conversation on the phone and she told me her father was the original illustrator for the Winnie the Pooh books!! my little claim to fame lol. Actually we have a lovely Winnie book upstairs with pull out cards etc., its delightful!! was thinking of putting it on Ebay sometime! So...you will have curtains n your dolls house made by a decendant of the illustrator for the books!! awesome!! Ta ta for now...watching Wimbledon!! Your chap is on playing our Murray!!'

Since for one half of this upstairs room I have no illustration reference I'm kinda doing it my way with the stove, sink and shelves. I'm also going to hang copper molds on the wood wall which is ideal since the pins can be placed in the gaps between the boards without leaving a significant mark.

Also with the English foods above, I heard mention that Winnie the Pooh's house was very British, I'm not sure if I've captured that but I do know I wanted some British foods anyhow.

This incredible collection of auctions went up on eBay and I got all 5 things from the same seller.

Cornish Pasties, Scone and Butter, Custard Tart, Jam Sponge Cake and a unique bun baking tray by Warwick miniatures. I love them all!! And they all ended for about $2.50 each.

Though I love nothing as well as my Debs buttered toast and Ara's chair and hunny hutch for me. Those are true love ;)

Chocolate Bars for Winnie the Pooh

These chocolate bars were made by Pei Li at Miniature Patisserie.

I wanted chocolate because Pooh Bear mentions milk and chocolate in the Up Down Touch the Ground song. I also spotted a jar labled chocolate in a honey cupboard illustration.

And this is a milk can I'm going to try and make.

Oh I got those silly copper pots but what I really wanted was the aged cookware for a pretty penny like these. I'm going to get a few pieces. I really want the au gratin pan and stock pot. Oh and the plates and rectangle pan shown here. Does anyone like the bowl?

Attic Fireplace

Well here's my upstairs fireplace. I think it looks good. I like the boldness of the green. It's turquoise! Does it remind anyone else of Paris 1908? Like it looks like something you'd find in a run down apartment near the Moulin Rouge. What is that style called? I guess it's not a style so much as a look.

Well it also looks playful and I think it goes with Owls upstairs parlor just fine.

Pooh bear worthy pottery :D

Oh my goodness! My favorite miniture artisan Eileen Vernon has agreed to make me 3 personalized honey pots! Wow, and to think I've been looking on ebay for one to show up and she was right there all along, contactable and able to make them for me. And she only wants $13 a piece! she says she'll be busy until July but I don't mind the wait. And we'll all have to wait and see what she comes up with!

Here's some this and that.

Mom donated this to Owl's because it's too big for her dollhouse, not enough room.

I finished this pantry or larder. I'm going to sell it on eBay, maybe I'll get something for it. I guess I should put some extra food minis I've got around in it, it might spice it up a bit.

This outlet ceased to work even though it did before I glued it in. I couldn't take it out and had left a mark on the wallpaper, so I've covered it with some wood, clever huh?

Some miniatures to match illustrations.

New Things

From the left, a wood turning bowl by Hendywood
I just want to know, did he know?

A handmade bellows, I still need another 2, I found on ebay for cheap. Debbie may have one. Bless you Debbie for the toast, I'm going to make you some fantastic candy boxes for Honeydukes! You're like our den mother for blogging.

Some limes from Cate, SoletLuna Cate I love you and believe it or not I've been to Kelowna Canada. Small world huh!?

I had to make it up to Pooh, I've negleted him.

Here's his new fireplace. I finally figured out how to use those red bricks. I love this so much better. What I really need is some white with tiny blue polka dots fabric like in the illustration. I might just have to fabric pen some plain white. Better check eBay first ;)
