Old dollhouse miniatures make for a fun evening......







Yesterday I went to visit a miniature friend whose dollhouse store I had spent years and years going too. She no longer has her store but has a wonderful collection of miniature estates that she takes to shows and sells. During our visit I got to got thru boxes filled with things like these. A dream I know. This is some of what I came home with. My favorite is the copper pots or maybe the rolling pins or .....Oh I love it all. A visit with a old friend and dollhouse miniatures makes for the perfect evening. Don't you think? Mini hugs!

Oh! You found some gorgeous things Kim. Those jars with the lids and the box of foil are too cute!
I've been stalking your blog in the last few days (in a friendly way!) getting so much inspiration for my little shabby house, I have been thoroughly enjoying myself!
