A thing of beauty..

Some quick photos of my beautiful mini wall-unit/room divider made by Mitchy Moo Miniatures.

It's based on a G-Plan Librenza 880.  I wanted a piece that was more similar in style to the 1950's version of the Librenza 880, but had the dimensions (slightly lower & wider) of the later 1960's version.


Pepper did a great job translating this into miniature & I feel really honored to own one of her pieces, it's beautifully made & just what I wanted.  The piece is made of spruce, stained in dark oak, with white formica fronts on some of the cupboard doors.

It arrived almost a week & a half ago, but after what must have been some rough handling by Royal Mail (grrr!) the top section of the Librenza had shaken loose in transit.  I ordered some of the same wood glue that Pepper uses, & with some helpful advice from Pepper, was able to re-attach it.  Hopefully it looks OK, I was very nervous about doing a poor job & spoiling it.

All the cupboard doors & drawers open & I'm looking forward to digging out more miniatures to display on it & taking some better photos of it (once my current bout of vertigo has passed & I stop feeling dizzy & disorientated every time I move).  The Re-Ment displayed on the Librenza so far are from the 2005 Table Ware Collection set.

Fresh Beans.

There haven't been any advancements in my doll houses lately, but there are some new faces.




+ another Mame I haven't got around to taking photos of yet.

As usual they've been welcomed with open paws by my cat, who nubs & fusses over the Mames at any given opportunity.


I'm sure the Mames won't be very impressed with me soon.  I was very lucky & thrilled to bits to be one of the 3 winners who will get a custom piece made by the ridiculously talented Pepper of Mitchy Moo Miniatures in her recent giveaway, but decided against getting a 1:16 item for the Mame houses.  In fear of retaliation all pins & needles have been secured in a locked cupboard. 

Congratulations to the other winners! I can't wait to see everyone's photos of their pieces - both the custom pieces for Pubdolls & Tam toum, & the lovely 1:12 sofas that Pepper made for an additional 3 winners.
