what I bought at the shows - part three
Thursday, April 26, 2012
I bought a goldfish bowl from Miyuki Kobayashi, from Japan. She also makes really cool aquariums, but I didn't have a spot to put one. This bowl will go outside in the garden of one of my houses.
I bought 1:12 candles from Victoria of Dark Squirrel's Miniature Asylum...they are made from polymer clay but look just like wax...I am planning to use them inside a 1:24 fireplace. I've been eyeing them on Etsy for quite a while, once I saw the finish in person I snatched them up.
The pot I got from Julie of CelticJuju. I've talked to Julie on a miniatures forum, it was nice to meet her in person. The pot has a great weathered finish which I couldn't capture well with my camera.
One of them, I'm not sure who, snuck some mini fruit in my bag...thanks!
I bought the tea table kit and the fireplace tools (which is a finished kit) from SDK miniatures. I've bought several of her plant kits over the years and finally got to meet her in person.
I bought the beautifully crafted 1:24 chair from Rebecca Libscomb, and the perfect little wicker shopping cart from Uncle Ciggie's Miniatures. The brass cold air return is an antique I purchased from picker Patricia Wehmeier, and the shelf brackets and pans were purchased from Hartland Miniatures.
The tiny, intricate paper doily is from Stewart Dollhouse Creations. As a bonus Ruth included the artwork...the map is going to look great in the study of the Fairfield.
I followed the link to the aquariums, wow. Thanks for sharing your haul, great finds :)

Oh, today's pics are even better than yesterday's!!
Love love love the candles - I have her in my Etsy favorites and saw those yesterday - and love the goldfish bowl!
And everything else I would pretty much love to have full-size in my house.
You did great!

I can't imagine the amount of work that went in to this.
