New Shoes!

Today the postman brought two awesome pairs of shoes for Frankie, my Monster High doll. They're both from the fantastic JemGirlCreations over on Etsy. They also came with a little shoe pendant on a chain - so cute! <3

I've yet to find a top I really like for her, so Frankie's trying to keep some modesty!




I wish I could get the red sparkly pair in my size! Do you ever find yourself wishing you could scale up instead of down?

Hello World

Hello World




This blog is going to be for all things miniature. Mostly 12th scale, a fair chunk of playscale, and, from time to time, a cheeky dash of 1/3rd.

I've loved miniatures for as long as I can remember. My favourite book as a very youngling was 'Matilda Mouse's Shell House', where everything was tiny and pretty (and, er, made of shells).

Later there was a hobby shop in town which seemed magical, with all its tiny bits and bobs. My first dolls house was a birthday present made by my granddad, which I loved until it near fell apart. It's now keeping another little girl very happy, because I just don't have space for a house at the moment :(

...That hasn't stopped me collecting up as many minis as I can though, for the day when I do have some space and can build my dream house. Whilst in real life that might be a penthouse apartment, or a three story townhouse, or a castle, in the miniature world I want a replica of the mid century terrace of my childhood. Decorated in late 70s/early 80s fashion. Perhaps I got a little mixed up somewhere!
