I'm Still Here


Yes, I am still here! It has been a very long time since I posted last. Life has been quite full, and I feel pulled in many different directions. Sometimes it is difficult to stop moving and take some time to "mini."

So perhaps I should alleviate the pressure of doing my usual length posts each time, and make the effort to post "bite-size" things more often. I'll try it. Can't promise I won't diverge from the plan!

I've gotten a few new acquisitions lately, nothing major. My lack of time to blog also means a lack of time to troll eBay for various finds. I got this art deco-style dresser for a song...it looks quite at home in my Gottschalk room box, no?





'Til next time!

The time it took me: Really, no time at all!

Credits: Table is by Paul MacAlister; dresser is a vintage eBay find. Accessories are Manor House Miniatures and another eBay find.

      I agree, Marta. It is not always easy to devote the right amount of time to it.

    Both the table and the dresser are Fabulous! The dresser has such a great finish on the front and the pulls are so classic looking. What a great score!

    Nice to see you out and about once again!

      Thanks, Elizabeth S! The dresser was quite inexpensive but is well-made. I love the deco-like style of it, too.

    Yay! Missed you!! I'm right there with you on the absence thing, but it's great to see you online again. We'll talk whatever we can get. I'm still envious of your MacAlister pieces. :P

    Hi There.

    I have had a look at your blog and your miniatures are fantastic! I'm starting a dollhouse journey with my wife and it looks like I have a lot to learn from professional dollhouse builders like you!

    Keep up the good work!

    You do such delicate work! I'm so happy I found your blog. I started getting into dollhouses just recently because it's my wife's passion, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to learn a lot from you! Keep up the good work!
