Just In Time

I'm doing this at the last minute as usual, but I entered the MinisModernas contest....this morning.  The deadline is posted as June 1st. The funny thing is that when I woke up this morning, I thought today was June 1st.  I thought I was entering it late and it wouldn't count.  It just dawned on me that today is May 31st.  Whew!!!!



The red chairs are Reac, the coffee table is Kaleidoscope House, the round table and pillows are AG Minis, The rug is a Matisse post card, the flooring is a bamboo place mat, the book case and sofa are made by me, the accessories are hobby store finds, re-ment and Modern Mini Houses

What Ever Happened to Ethics and Doing What is Right?

Recently a fellow miniturist has been royally screwed over by the Saco River Auction Company in Maine.  She puchased a dollhouse and for some reason, they decided not to send it to her. They refunded her money and gave her a gift certificate.  She is going through a rough time and is having chemo therapy. Some of you may have seen her blog Susan's Mini Houses

You can get the details of what is going on at My Realitty's blog.  The point of all of this is morals.  The auction company should do what is right, which is to reinstate her purchase of this dollhouse.

Please support our fellow collector and miniturist Susan.

A Wonderful Gift

Recently (ok not that recently, I have had these for a few weeks now) I received a very thoughtful gift from my friend Megan of Modern Mini Houses aka: Mini Dork. If you haven't seen her blog, you have to check it out!

She made these sculptures and pillow.

She made these great little sculputres from beads.

I added a couple of the junky to funky pieces that I painted not long ago. 

She made these fab pillows with fabric she had made at Spoonflower FabricsOllipoppies has some wonderful mini fabrics to choose from too.  Megan based the design of the fabrics on ones hat I had used in the Atomic Bungalow.  Aren't the colors great?

Thanks Megan!!!

Blogging Question

This is probably something really simple but, does anyone know how to translate the comments that others leave on your blog?
