Mini Newspaper Printie
A "little" gift - that's my story and photo on the bottom of the page. You can reduce these smaller if needed. Just save (right mouse click), cut out up to the column edges, fold and fill with blank paper for your dollhouse or mini room! Have fun!

New Half Scale Dollhouse Shed Kit!
Shellie from MiniEtchers (my fave new shop btw!) has a new kit coming out!
I asked about a half scale lean-to shed kit and she made one up! I tested it out and wanted to report it goes together great, and turns out really well! I added some touches like the strips inside over the plastic windows (bought a package of Shrinky Dink plastic sheets) that I put in. I also added posts in the back since I built it with the sides butted to the outer front edges instead of to the inner back. (Yes, making more work for myself, as is always the case, of course! ha!) The kit is about 5 3/4" wide, 5 1/4" deep and about 5 1/4" high at the back tallest point.
Fun little kit. I'm going to make a bench and add flower pots yet. Will share more pix as I progress... (I may change the doorknob... couldn't find the half scale size knobs...) Don't you love the yellow door?
(And... just got the 1/24th artist set pieces, too... Maybe the owner will do some painting and planting out here....)
(I also have a bunch of her other kits like the Cottage Kitchen and beach pieces I'm saving for the Half Scale Beach cottage... see link about that. Be sure to check out her cool kitchen pieces and the Eastlake furniture set. Very different!)

Half Scale Miniature Dollhouse Bed
Something in the works...
I'd made a set like this a while ago in 1" scale so I wanted to try making one in half - 1/24 scale for my Half Scale haunted house. (In the planning; I've been making/saving stuff a while for it.) The bed itself is cut from picture framing mat board.
So far... not much yet, but stay tuned...

Latest Flea Market Miniature Finds
The flea market is once again open and in two weeks I've had some great finds.
Last week found this dollhouse kit - $5.
This week - found a nearly done roombox with the furniture. $7. Am going to take that rope off and put wood up for the chair rails. But nice floor and outside finish. The front plexiglass slips into the slot from the top. Happy happy!

#AtoZ 2016 - W is for #Miniature White House
Welcome to the 7th annual A to Z Blog Challenge in April!
Come back daily for more exciting posts and even some giveaways!
Today is W for Miniature White House
If you're never seen The White House in Miniature, you've missed something. I've heard it may not be touring again, but it is housed at the Presidents Hall of Fame, Clermont, FL.
I'm so glad I got to see it when it was in Chicago some years back. It even had a miniature Bo the First Dog (made by Alice Zinn.)
There are a series of great photos here at the Ford Presidential Library site.
Check out one of the mini video tours:
