Last
weekend was the Seattle Dollhouse Show in Seattle Washington, I
thought it would be fun to show you what I was able to find while at
the show and on the way home.
Normally
when I visit a mini show I look at all the tables and then go back
and purchase the things that I really want. This year I broke that
rule because my first purchase was so precious I was afraid someone
else would get it before I got back. That item was this beautiful
butterfly dome. I got this from Lauren at Scaling Down the Past (you can find her Etsy shop here) she has some of the most wonderful minis
that I have seen in a long time.
One
of my favorite sellers at the show is Ruth Stewart of Stewart
Dollhouse Creations. You might remember the wonderful cupcake mold
and frosting kit I showed you all last year. This year Ruth has more
really fun stuff. It was really hard but I did manage to not buy
everything on her table. I limited myself to just a few items. What I
did get were: the Birdcage Pastry Tower, the French macaron mold and
the cupcake cake mold (this one can be used in both dollhouse scale
and for the 18” dolls) Be sure to check out Ruth's site here for
more fun stuff.
At
Jeannie Lindquist's table I picked up 3 different kits to make some
flowering plants. I haven't done very many plant kits so I am looking
forward to giving these a try. You can find Jeannie's website here, although currently I am only seeing her book in her store.
My
last purchase at the show was two little wooden kits from Modern
Miniature Magic (email her here) one for a planter and one for a cute
little stair step shelf unit. I think these will look really nice
with my plans for the building I am working on in the building
series.
On
my way home I also stopped at the Hobby Lobby since we don't have one
here. I was able to find some paper for a project that I am in the
process of getting started on. For some reason I couldn't find
anything to use that would look like a very subtle stone for a
background. I am hoping the paper I picked up will work well. For the
same project I picked up a 1/24th scale WW II Army Jeep,
another item I have been trying to find and it seemed everywhere I
looked around here either didn't carry it or were out of stock. That
is a project that I will show you all when I get it finished.
Also
at Hobby Lobby I got some Kato liquid polymer clay, I have been
wanting to try this for some time. No one around here carries it so I
had put it on my list to look for. While I was looking around for
different things I found the Lumiere metallic paints. I have never
used them but they looked so interesting I decided I had to try them
So
that is pretty much all I got I hope you enjoyed the video and the
pictures here.
It looks like someone is going to have lots of treats and pretty blooms!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne! I was at the Seattle Show too and had a Great Time there. Lots of vendors with plenty of Beautiful minis to choose from. Love your butterfly dome and the kits that you purchased which look like LOTS of fun! They will be a treat to watch you assemble; looking forward to it! :D
