the tea shop

I purchase the primrose from miniatures.com and made the teaberry shop. the owner  is thea, she lives above the shop with her dog name gray. she is the one standing behind the counter.  I got the idea of a teashop from laura childs the tea shop mysteries. I love those books. I did a little kit bashing and made the first pictures with just two floors, there is a small bathroom with just a toilet and sink. a few years later I did a little more bashing and added a third floor, now with a full bathroom with tub, sink and toilet and bedroom. second floor has full kitchen with stove, sink and fridge, and the living room with a desk and chair for her office. I used printies for the tea boxes and jars with honey. I made some of the teapots. I made the file cabinet and the one hanging on the wall. I made the two tables and four chairs and toilet from can deodorant tops. I made the two bookcases.  I made her kitchen table and the counter.  thanks for looking Shirley.

the orchard

I purchased the orchard from miniatures.com in 2007, in the beginning I didn't use dolls in my houses, but after I made the orchard I decided to put a doll in the house. I found a bag of dolls for 2.99 at the thrift store so I put this one in here to see how a doll would fit. I liked how the doll look in the house so I started collecting 1:12 dolls. here is the orchard in 2007 later I will show you the orchard remodeled in 2014. the tub is a piece of plastic , something came in I painted white the toilet is a deodorant top and the sink is the little butter or jelly dish you get in the hospital. the ceiling fan is made from popsicle sticks and beads and a chain, the trash cans are caps with tissue paper for bags. I made the dolls dress and shoes. the canisters are the things that come in the medicine bottles.  I printed out printies  of flour sugar tea and coffee from the internet the lamp is a creamer with a bead for the base. thanks Shirley.
