Interior Design Shop Front

Going back a few years - to 1992 - I made this shop as a club project. We built our room boxes from wood and then decorated and filled them. There was a huge assortment of shops; toys, grocers, china store, sweet shops and even an undertaker's! Mine has battery powered lights with the battery holder behind the front door in the fake entrance.
It was fun to make furnishing fabrics and rolls of wallpaper, matching roller blind and my first frilled cushion.

 This photo has a little glare on the glass but you can just see my little rabbit patchwork cushion.
 This has been displayed for 20 years and has travelled to four different homes with me. It was the easiest of my houses to move!
I hope your week is going brilliantly!

      Thank you Helen! I've made minis since I was a child. First plasticine which sadly couldn't be kept. I used to sew with felt and used self hardening clay and card. I progressed over the years as the materials did. Thank you for all the comments you leave, I really appreciate them. x

    Gosh Gillian, everything is always SO perfect! I'm jealous...I made two room boxes to take pictures of my dolls in, but they are not NEARLY as beautiful, and perfect as your tiny wonder! Your talents for tiny, are huge! xoxo Christel
