MINIATURE ADVENTURE

I have known of a Toy & Hobby shop 
about 15 miles away
in the same shopping area where I can find 
a Michaels, an Ulta,
a World Market, etc.  

I am in that area once or twice a month
AT LEAST.

I am not sure if I headed there today
ONLY 
to pick up hair products at Ulta 

or if my not-so-hidden agenda was to go miniature shopping.

What do YOU think????

This jumped right out at me

 "Hmmmmmmmmm, EVERYTHING?"

So I looked through it briefly and decided 
 
 it was a good place to start.

Then next thing in my hands 
was this package of dress forms.
 
since one of the rooms in the cottage
will be a special faerie dress making room...
wellllllllllll...
I had seem them online and the price was the same....soooooooo

'cha ching'

 I wandered through the place looking 
at all sorts of furniture and things

pretty pricey....not surprising

then I saw this
and knew I wanted to put my own touches on it....


'cha ching'

and just before I went running from this place 
that could take an entire paycheck

I found a wall of 

wallpapers........eeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I could have stayed hours and looked at everyone

because now you are talking about
 
two obsessions in one

PAPER........and now MINIATURES.

'CHA CHING!!!'

I hear the voice of Jim Carrey:

'SOMEBODY STOP ME!"

  1. Oh My! Do you need a chaperone??? I'll volunteer!

    I am loving your wallpapers, bookcase and I am drooooooling over the dress forms! Can you please get me one too? I will send you the $$$, if you happen to go back. Do not make a special trip for me.(Did they only come in black? I would like white, but I could paint it.)
    I am totally excited to see the fairy dressing room! That is so thrilling to imagine! The fairies are going to be so happy with their new home.
    I am glad you are having so much fun.
    Btw, did you even remember to get the hair products?
    Hugs,
    Terri

  2. You would be my partner in crime and not a 'good' chaperon, Terri!! But we would have fun!
    I shall e-mail you.......and yes, I did get the hair products - in a lucid moment I decided to go the Ulta FIRST and then putter around in the Hobby store.

  3. You are just making me giggle with your "Cha Ching"! As I was reading this post, I had a scary thought. "Oh, cool. Dress forms. Themed rooms. That would be such a fun project!" NNNNOooooooooooo! (That was my hubby screaming). This is going to be a fun adventure and I'm glad you are going to share it with us all! Have fun! xoxo R...

  5. Oh my, how much fun!!! (ChaChing! LOL)you're funny. The dress forms are amazing - who would have guessed. Everything so small and perfect. One could make one's own little dream house - couldn't one. I had a bookcase very similar to the one you're showing, but mine had cabinets on the bottom. Go girl - you're on a roll! (I guess I wouldn't be a good charpeone, either)

  6. Rella! Looks like so much fun. Those dress forms are really cool! I love seeing miniature worlds being made by talented people like you! I don't have the patience.

    Love this blog background, too!

  7. Hi Rella, I just 'followed' you over here from your comment on Claudia's post. Looks like I've got in 'on the ground floor' so I can enjoy watching this project from the beginning.

    As for 'saving you' from buying minis and paper I have to tell you that if the boxes and boxes of both stashed under my bed are anything to go by there is no hope for you at all... ;)
