Of course there's still a LOT more to go in the barn but I thought you might like to see a little of what I've been making.
I saw a shelf like this at the garden centre but I couldn't afford it in real life so I made it in miniature!
The rusty bench was originally white metal. I wasn't going to make it quite so rusty but I always get a little carried away when it somes to rust.
The 'Bistrot de Paris' box I made from a kitset.
Katie made the basket which I filled with pillows.
I decided the basket needed a rusty stand so I made one.
I made this little cupboard from some painted sticks that someone at my club was throwing out.
I haven't fixed the door in properly yet but I love the way it turned out.
Just look at that sunlight coming through the window!
Unfortunately it's the last of the summer sun, there's a definite autumnal chill in the air these days (I'm not too happy about that!).

Boaaaah! This is so beautiful! I love the rusty bench and the way the sunlight falls through the coloured window! Great job!
Oh I love all the shabby look, you are very talented, I particularly love the cupboard and candlesticks :-)
Really a great work and everything looks so realistic.I love every detail!!!Jeannette
It's looking fabulous Mercedes. The stand for the basket is a stroke of genius. A friend gave me a pretty pushchair in that white wire a while ago, I've been thinking of rusting it but I'm not sure how she'd take it!
Everything is soooo wonderful!!!
Hello Mercedes! I have been looking forward for your new post. Your post in a way brightened up my not-so-good day. Thank you. As always, I love everything in your work. I love that pretty couch with all those throw pillows. The shelf, the pitchers and the canisters are perfect too.
I am looking forward again for your next wonderful post. I wish you more happiness with Liberty and your family

This is lovely and the rusty bench is marvellous. I also like all the little touches like the divider and the shutters - you're very good at this!
Wow, so beautiful, I'm in love with the pillows!

Amazing. So, so beautiful!
Gorgeous Mercedes! I cannot believe the things you create from "scraps"! You are so talented!! I love, love, love the bowling pins in the little box! The light through the window is so pretty- what a great picture :)
It's wonderful what you did with the barn.
I particularly like the shelves with the miniatures on them. Isn't it great to be able to have in miniature what you can't have in real life...

I liked its atmosphere and decided to build a miniature house .
I like very much the shabby style and I decorate my real house so and my blog speaks about brocante and decoration.
I discovered some other miniatures blogs and I made a post on miniatures this evening. I speak about you and your blog in this post.
