New Addition!!!

I found the *coolest* thing today at Bo-mar Hall Antiques in Wells, ME. I took my parents there today, as they are visiting from PA this week. My dad loves trains and they have a ton of train stuff. My mom has varied interests and she found lots of things to look at and buy. Well I was walking through the store with Jason and we turned the corner and saw this:


Yes, a 1:12 scale general store. It looks handmade and one-of-a-kind. It's also very solidly built. And get this...according to the tag, it was 45 dollars. At that price, it was a steal, right??? Well when Jason and I carried it to the front to buy it, it cost 33.08 w/tax, because it was on sale!!!!

I know, right?

So now it's sitting in my living room, waiting for a place to live, and to be cleaned and touched up. :) Here are some more pics:








As you can see, the front panel comes off, and Jason said he could put it on hinges. I want to take out the paper on the second floor. I am not sure if I will repaper it or just paint/stain it. We'll see what it says to me. :) This is going to be such an exciting project! I might put a lot of the stuff from the "Chic Boutique" in here to fill up the shelves.

Better Late than Never, Right???



I've been downright deadbeat on posting about the lovely item I won from Dale of Dale's Dreams.

She had a raffle to celebrate having 50 followers, and I won! I was able to choose any pillow from her etsy shop and she sent it so quickly, I feel awful about taking so long to post!

I'll blame it on my day job, because, well, that's exactly why I haven't been posting or mini-ing much lately, for that matter. That, and I couldn't find my camera card for a couple days...yikes!

I will be back once I get a lull in the schedule of experiments, conferences (going to Oregon this month!), and the start of a new semester. If I know how my schedule works, I know there will be some downtime in there somewhere, where I can relax and work on minis. So don't give up on me yet! :)

Enough about me! Look at the pretty:


Thank you, Dale! :) I am thinking about having a contest soon...but I have to make something first...hmmmm. :)
