I Went Shopping....

At The Sturbridge Fair....

Well, Dear Readers, I will admit that I have often hoped I might find some other Little Furry Ponies who could be companions to Thunder, the Black Pony who runs wild on the Distant Briar Moors not far from Rose Thorne Cottage. And this year, as I was making my preliminary pass through the booths at The Sturbridge Miniatures Fair, My eyes alighted on this Beautiful little White Mare! Her name is "Whisper" and she was not alone! She was traveling with her best friend "Ginger Snap"....

And I was able to convince them to come home with me 

where they could also run free on the Distant Briar Moors!

Aren't they just Gorgeous?

But of course, I was busy shopping and quickly moved 

on to the pursuit of the next Treasures!

I found quite a few books.....

 

Most of which are "printed through"....

Like this wonderful "Golden Book" version 

of' "Micky's Christmas Carol"

With all the illustrations of this classic tale!

And this beautiful Large "Encyclopedia of British Birds".....

Illustrated throughout with marvelous color plates of all the birds!

 

 

And I found quite an assortment of small china items... 

 

 

including this lovely set of plates with botanical illustrations on them...

And this Dinosaur or is it a Dragon Cookie Jar!

An iron pot full of steaming clams....!

And a wonderful old fashioned Bread Box... 

made of lovely heavy cast metal.

A pair of Art Deco wall sconces.....

And a Beautifully made Silverware Chest, 

complete with the silver!

(I don't think I have a Dining Room worthy of this..... yet...!)

Oh, and that metal item beside the chest is a perfectly made Sextant!

This will have to be part of the nautical collection belonging to Clarence.....

(When I get his Study built in The Cupboard House.....)

A few pieces of furniture "on sale" at one booth...

Which will eventually probably find themselves useful Somewhere.....

(still not sure where!)

Oh, and this desk also on sale...... 

and the tea set.... not on sale.....

but too pretty to leave behind!

And there were some Teeny Tiny items too...

(Because I have fallen down that Rabbit Hole....)

A 1:48 scale Dollhouse for a dollhouse kit....! 

(Which is the scale of the Tree House, 

and we are trying to build the Tree House Nursery..... 

Oh, Had you forgotten? !)

And in the box on the left is a 1:48 scale teapot 

with a purple crocheted Tea Cozy!!!!

(Do poke the pictures for the really expanded view!)

And as if we were not already Lost in Teeny Tiny Land.....

There is a kit.....

To make a Secret Christmas House in 1:144th scale!!!

Two kits, actually, but the house itself is on backorder....

this one is for all the rooms furniture and decor all included!

Oh My!

(I think Pollyanna was whispering in my ear.....!)

Well, Dear Readers, I don't know about you ....

but I can't wait to get started on that Christmas House Kit!!

And before I had even unpacked all my new Treasures.....

Thunder came galloping up......

He'd heard there were some pretty new fillies in the forest....

He explained that he could lead them to the Distant Briar Moors.....

And before I knew it, they were off....

And that, Dear Readers, is what I found 

when I went Shopping at the Sturbridge Fair!
