Sturbridge Miniatures Fair......
Thank you, Dear Readers, for all your kind and supportive comments on my recent posts. I am making good progress with my healing, but typing is still a slow and uncomfortable process. At the end of a day at work (which is mostly typing numbers) my hand is sore and my arm is tired. My comments on all your wonderful posts have been short or non-existent, even though I am trying to keep up with the reading. I am trying to be patient and let the healing happen, and I will be doing more exercises soon. So there is still no real progress on any of my projects to report. But last weekend was the annual Sturbridge Miniatures Fair, which is the only Fair that happens near enough to home that I can drive there and back comfortably on the day of the Fair. I debated not going this year.... but decided that I Needed the "Shopping Therapy"! And I came home with some sweet Treasures! Above you can see one of two tiny "house" boxes that were made as favors for one of the big minis conventions, and the dealer decided to sell hers at this Fair. It is smaller than 1/144th scale as the entire "house" is less than 2 inches tall!
And here is the other one...
I didn't get a good picture of the front on this one...
it is very detailed!
And in no particular order I will show some
of the many little items I came home with....
Some metal platters and tiny glassware....
A set of Tinker Toys!.....
Some clocks and games....
all from "Wright Guide Miniatures"...
And yes, another Pony!
Meet " Copper"....
He was ever so eager to find his friends....
A beautiful dish drainer with colorful dishes....
(I think the house for this has not even been started yet....
still in it's box in the cellar...)
A Vintage porcelain bathroom set.... very cheap....
A handsome wardrobe....
A Lovely stoneware crock....
Two more Teeny dolls... each about 1/2 inch tall!
A couple of lovely old rugs made in Japan...
The one on the left is up-side down, so you can see the stitches...
Here it is right side up!
And last but Not least, another Robin Betterley kit....
the Christmas Wagon in 1/4 scale!
(Do you think I will finish the Secret Christmas House before I open this kit???)
It did not take Copper long to find the other ponies....
(I apologize for the dark pictures...
it has been dark and gloomy and rainy here for weeks!)
And here is a glimpse of the larger rug in Hardwick Hall....
I think it is perfect for this little dining area!
I hope you have enjoyed this little review, Dear Readers,
I am feeling so much better...
It is amazing what a little Shopping Therapy will do!
I am so glad I went to the Sturbridge Fair!
