The time has come to start the give aways...Why? Well, I'll tell you.

Reason #1: To thank all of you who have been following this blog. If it weren't for this blog I would have never have "met" so many wonderful people who share the same interest. Not to mention made some new friends and learned a lot about making miniatures and miniature scenes.

Reason #3: Because I want to.  I love surprises and I think most people do too.

Reason #4: My cheap ploy to get more followers.

Here it goes.....

The first give away is:

A pair of these adorable CB2 Igloo chairs.  I painted them a great lime green color.  It looks a little light in this pic, but it's actually nice and bright.

Modern Mini Houses on Ebay

Today I had the pleasure of working from home because there was no internet at the office where I work. While taking a break from all of the work I was doing (wink, wink), I ran across a few modern mini houses on Ebay (not to be confused with Megan's Modern Mini Houses).

This one is adorble and only about 7" x 7"

The Villa Sibi-this one is in Australia-Jazzi and The Shopping Sherpa: could this one be for you?

The Dylan.  I put this one on here because of the great price: $109

Then there is the Greenleaf Brookwood.  This one had an 80's modern vibe, but has wonderful potential.

Sorry the pics are so small somehow that's how they got saved on my computer.

News Flash!

Give away coming this weekend...stay tuned!!! It's going to be good!

Tiny Modern

I recently found this new modern mini maker.  I actually found her on Flickr, but she has a shop on Etsy called...you guessed it:  Tiny Modern.

She makes some nice Ikea-like things such as this little coffee table:

And this cute little sofa:

Check it out!

Mission Completed!

Magazine/Catalog Challenge:
The challnge is to recreate a scene form a catalog or magazine in miniature.

This is the picture I am recreating.  It's from a CB2 catalog.  Oh how I wish we had a CB2 here!

A little too spread apart.

Here is the finished product.  The details: I made the floor lamp using mini party lights (battery operated of course) and a little tripod I found at the dollar store; the sofa, book case, pillows and white ottoman are by me; The T.V. is Brinca Dada, the rug is a piece of fabric and the rest of the accessories, tables and books are ebay finds.
