Published in American Miniaturist!

I am thrilled to tell you that there is an article on my little Bed and Breakfast room in the September issue of American Miniaturist Magazine!

 

 It was a wonderful surprise to have this little magazine arrive on my doorstep on a bleak winters day!

Many thanks to Auralea for inviting me to be part of this lovely publication.

 

My Barn in Mini-ologie!

Well, I'm back home now in my real world...that was a trip to remember!

When I got to Kim's house the Fall issue of Mini-ologie was waiting for me.

 

 A few months ago Kim asked me if I'd like to be part of the Autumn issue of Mini-ologie.

A magazine dedicated to beautiful miniatures created by Kim and two of her like-minded friends.

 

Of course I jumped at the chance to be part of this beautiful publication.

 

Thank you Kim, Maritza and Cynthia for inviting me to be part of your wonderful magazine.

 

I'm not sure why but 2013 seems to have turned out to be the Year of the Publication for me!

More pics from my trip coming soon...I've been swamped with children's parties since I got home!

And of course the Nylon's went to America too...their story coming soon!

Published again and a New Project!!!

I am privileged to have an article on the Shabby Cottage published in the September 2013 issue of The Dolls' House Magazine.

This magazine is published in Great Britain.

I'd like to thank Karen and Christiane for asking me to be part of their Shabby Chic issue.

 

And in other news...

 

 Look at what I found at the Op shop (Thrift Store) the other day.

The cutest little shed was sitting there on the shelf just waiting for me to come along!

 

As I don't really like the actual building part of creating a miniature house this has got me very excited...the possibilities are endless...

more to come!!!!

 

And you'll be pleased to know the Customs officers have finished playing with Sylvia's package and the toilet and basin have arrived here!

My little houses in Daphne's Diary!

 The July/August issue of Daphne's Diary - a most beautiful lifestyle magazine for women - arrived here in my mailbox all the way from the Netherlands today. I am thrilled to be able to tell you there is an article about me and my dollhouses in this issue.

 

 Daphne's Diary is a Dutch magazine and it doesn't matter at all that I don't understand Dutch because the pictures and style of the magazine are absolutely breathtaking.

The whole magazine is set out in the style of a beautiful shabby scrapbook.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to Wendy for asking me to be part of this gorgeous magazine

 and to Henk for his very clever editing of my photos.

The website for the magazine is here - Daphne's Diary.

I believe it is available in The Netherlands and Belgium and Germany (thank you Lotte!).

This weeks mail!

Thank you so much for all your congratulations! Our copy of 'Miniaturas' has arrived at last and it is such a beautiful magazine!

Liberty took the magazine into the sunshine (it's been raining for the last two weeks) and had a good 'read', lol! She was far more interested in the work of our friends who were also in the magazine though!

I was lucky enough to receive some more vintage mail from Linda in the last few days. There's even a tiny letter coming out of one envelope and a photograph coming out of another one. Perfectly shabby!

Thank you Linda!

And look at these tiny little petitpoint slippers sent to me by Sandi who lives in Canada and reads my blog.

The detail in these is AMAZING! Sandi says this is her first attempt at making these! How anyone can stitch something so tiny is beyond me! They really are breathtaking and perfect for the shabby house.

Thank you Sandi!

Published in Miniaturas!!

This has to be one of the most amazing things that has happened to me in my life. My dollhouse and miniature garden have been published in the October issue of the Spanish magazine Minaturas.

This pic is the first two pages which open out and...

Ta daaa! My dollhouse is a four page centrefold! LOL!!!

Click on the pics to enlarge them.

My copy of the magazine hasn't arrived here yet but I asked my friend Meli in Spain to send me pics to show me my work in the magazine. And there was even more than I expected, what a wonderful surprise!!

I'm so overwhelmed, who would have thought that little old me sitting here at the bottom of the world having fun with a dollhouse would one day be published!

Many thanks to Madelva from Miniaturas who made this happen.

And for those of you who have been wondering even though my name is very Spanish there is not a drop of Spanish blood in me and I do not speak any Spanish!
