Beacon Hill for Sale and Lots more!

Its that time again, one last clear out before Christmas.

Im reluctantly selling my beautiful Beacon Hill American Greenleaf dollshouse

I have the one Beacon already obviously which is my haunted house but you only have to google the Beacon to see some fantastic differing styles for this design.

The house is 3 story, 9 rooms, painted in a coral and white but inside is a blank canvas and free of anything, so you can paint or paper to your style.

I'm afraid the only down side is that due to its huge size i cant send this house. I have tried, and looked into it in a major way, even down to spending a small fortune on packaging materials, specialised sized boxes etc, and on weighing it and measuring it, but because of its height and weight, it comes in at over £60 to send, so a NO NO im afraid.

We are in Reigate, Surrey, close to Junction 8 off the M25 and easy to find for anyone who fancys a trip over to us to nab a fab house and have a little tour of my other houses! You will also need a big enough space in your vehicle obviously! Email me if you need any measurments and would like to make me an offer. The house cost me over £250 a couple of years ago. Since buying it it has sat in my workshop , such a shame, it needs a loving home to give it the makeover it deserves! So if you are interested please make me an offer if you like before it goes onto Ebay on Sunday night. If i done get any interest it will go on ebay Sunday evening , but would like to give bloggers and facebook freinds the chance prior to ebay.

From what people say its quite a difficult house to put together from kit form , so its great to get it ready made, all the hard work is done for you, all that is left is to decide what style you want to do.

As well as the house Im selling several large lots of furniture , its easier to sell in bundles than list individually! There are many great items, and some bundles in which the furniture needs painting where its got worn sitting in boxes, but for someone who wants to do up furniture in a new look ie shabby chic etc, this bundle is perfect.





Lots more than showing here, about 6 lots of bundles plus other furniture

Some dolls for sale also, so please take a look this Sunday. Items being listed around 8pm UK time.
I am listing as UK only, if you are abroad and would like a price for international i can do so but will only send by airsure or signed for delivery which is more expensive. But please ask me before bidding as i know some people have bid in the past and got a shock at the cost of shopping to the US now, its not cheap!

I will be back in the New Year with project progress but this time of year is so busy for us, i doubt ill get a chance to blog before , just not enough time in the day! I will post the ebay link on Sunday

Market Cross Wizard/ Witch Project for Sale and some Swaps!

Ive had a few things on ebay that although artisan made, and really fantastic, havnt sold so I thought rather than having them sitting here when they could be going to a good home where they will be displayed at their best, a swap could be a good idea.

Firstly my wonderful Vampire Count!




I bought him from a dollmaker in the US many years ago before i met some of the fab dollmakers here in the UK!

He is so much more exquisite than the photos show, he is well dressed in frilly shirt, and long velvet cloak, with brocade boots. He has a pale face, bloody fangs and long grey hair tied at the back with a tiny bat clasp!

As i am only having dear Julie's haunted ghost dolls in my house, he dosnt really fit in now bless him so needs a new home

He cost me £75 at time but I had him on ebay hoping to get £55 so if anyone has things to swap ( and you all know what projects im doing and he sort of things I love!) Id love to hear from you! Leave a comment or send me a message!

Secondly are these darling little mice by Julie Lawton



Julie made these for Lola, but fussy little girl that she is, she has decided she wants to stick to the larger mice that Jain makes so they all look the same style!

Julie's mice are beautifuly made and dressed, as you can see, and she sells similar on her Etsy shop. These are so cute for any mouse house.

Again,if anyone would love to give them a home contact me for swappsies! I dont like to see them sitting in a box, they need to be displayed and loved, they are so adorable!

My house collection is dwindling but I still have over a dozen left so dont worry that im giving up too many. Most are houses and shops i bought right at the beginning of my mini making before I knew what style I really wanted to do.

Here is another Dollshouse Emporium house, the market kit. I started to make this into a wizard house with starry roof and black and cream checkered floor , and painted black and white. The inside has plain walls all ready to be decorated. The base is a slate heavy base , a great area for wizards and witches to meet and maybe have the odd market stall of potions

Still have a further shop and another house to sell , details to follow soon.

The workshop is slowly getting clearer, 2 boxes of furniture to sell and ill be able to get to my worktable again woohoo!

3 More houses have to go!

Still not finished, so now Ive listed another shop project, needs a complete refurb and new door !



This little modified Dollhouse Emporium Kit of the Tower is a great little project for someone wanting to do a wizard/witch/dragon house.Has a lovely little shingled roof, needs redecorating inside and some work on the little ruins to the side and front where I removed the gargoyles but could be fab, so a good bargain!



And lastly, this beautiful 6 bedroomed house fully decorated and fully lit with wall and ceiling lights, very pretty, just too normal for me now im into more fantasy projects!




Some other bits and bobs on this week, more mags, and next week, maybe one more shop and some furniture then I can actually move in my workshop to begin some work on Honeydukes and do a 'proper' post!

Thanks again for your support ladies in my auctions !

Relisting Springwood due to Ebay GRRRRRR!!!!!

Hi all just a quickie, got a email today taking off my Springwood Cottage and basement cos apparantly someone from Dollshouse Emporium reported me as violating copyright laws from googling the pic of the cottage and listing it with this picture!

I only did it for a day to give me chance to get up in the loft and get the box down to take pictures of, and also whats the difference between using this pic an dusing the close up of the picture which is the same on the actual box ahhhhh! Anyway it cost me about £3.50 to list the items and now i have to pay this again to list and I havnt even got a record of what I wrote so I have to start over and explain why it came off!

Sorry to all watching, will be back on tonight!!!!

And it still keeps on coming! More Houses and Shops, and Minis for sale!

So here we go again

Can I just say a HUGE thankyou to all those who have advertised my minis for sale, and for those who have placed bids and/ or won items , i am so grateful to you!

This week, I am selling another shop. This was my Witchy Holllow witches hat shop, but now I have a 2 storey Glad Rags as my witches hat collection by the darling Kat Hazelton, has got too out of control to house all in one storeyt!

This shop cost me around £100 on ebay when I bought it. It needs an overhaul paintwise id say. Inside is gold star paper, no flooring, so all needs doing. All the exterior sign and moss can be easily removed and then do as you please with it!

Starting this one at £28.99 plus postage in the UK. Its a lovely big shop, nice and deep and roomy!

Next on the list to go, is this NEW BOXED KIT from Dollshouse Emporium of Springwood Cottage. Im selling both the 6 roomed house and also seperatly the Basement which gives another 2 rooms



Needs putting together, painting, decorating to your taste etc. In flat pack kit form.

Costs £155 for the house and approx £88 for the basement new in DHE so Im listing at less than half price on both. A lovely house to work on and a great Chrismtas pressie to yourself or someone!

I have another little wizard house which will go on tomorrow if I get time, a one storey version of the Dollshouse Emporium tower, on a base.

I still have lots of furniture to list but will do this next month, so for now heres lots of Dollshouse magazines, great for sitting down with a cuppa and looking at projects, peoples houses, etc

In amongst them are 2 Dollshouse and Miniature Scene Magazines with articles by our wonderful Nikki Rowe. One on making jams and preserves, a fab article, and another on her spooky haunted tree! Also in this mag is other wizardy articles.




Other mags have articles on Rick Pierce, Kiva, and Jaquiline Dunn who I know many people collect her work.


Lots of Christmas mags too for those holiday season articles!

Please take a visit to me tonight and see whats new! thankyou all for looking!

Greenleaf Mercantile Store Kit For Sale NEW BOXED!

Sorry to keep plugging away at my ebay sales but until I clear alot of things I no longer need I cant generate either the space no pennies to make or buy new minis to show you! I so want to move on with my Honeydukes but I need to buy lights and counters so need to sell sell sell!

So next on the list of houses, is this fabulous Greenleaf Mercantile Store.

I love this Kit, the store is so pretty and if you go further back on my blog you will see why Im selling the kit. Cos Im lazy and found one ready put up on ebay after id already bought the kit, so have that as my Antique shop now!
I love the style, its very fancy and you can see both sides which have lots of detailing, and if put on a turntable the whole shop is really wonderful from all sides!

A US kit I dont think ive seen it for sale in the Uk . It is slot and tab assembly, pre cut ply, no nails or screw needed.Silkscreen windows.
18" wide, 21 1/2" high and 25" deep so great size rooms for store and room above!

It also includes lots of counters, shelves and signs so all ready to put up, decorate and paint !

There are many of these done up on the greenleaf website/forum so go see what people have made them into, they look wonderful! Ive seen them as spooky stores, witch/wizard store, chocolate shops, dress shops etc

This is on my ebay listings tonight, Tuesday, from 9pm british time . Heavier than my other shop so still courier delivered UK only.

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/witzend-minis then click on items for sale, it will be at the end of the listings

Still more to add, thankyou for taking the time to look and for those bidding my thanks!!

And theres More!!!

Just finished listing more bits on ebay, heres some preview pics but all in all I think there are over 30 listings so I wont put them all on here! Here is my ebay page
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/witzend-minis and although they wont go on til 8.30 they will be listed every few minuites until about 10 ish Sunday night!

For the More spooky minded of you, there are 2 listings.

The first is this set of 4 spooky goodies.

There are 3 severed heads. One I had at the dinner table, ....brains for tea! the other zombie head i had hanging from a beam and I love the Egyptian Mummy head with scorpion! Also there is a wooden bowl of intestines, fingers and eyeballs, gross but great! Each item cost me over £15 each but Im starting all 4 very low, so they are a real bargain!





Here also and reluctantly is my Vampire / Dracula Doll. Made by a US Doll artiste, he is fabulous with his long velvet cloak, brocade boots, and his red red lips and long grey hair. His hair is tied at the back with a tiny bat clip! very cool and my pics dont do him justice, his face is showing up very glary, but it is of course very white!





I no longer have a house that suits him as my haunted house is to be for my ghosts by Julie now and no others.

I hope someone can give him a good spooky home as he misses it!

I have also listed lots of pretty shop items, hat boxes, shoes, ornate mirrors and some of Kats Hats, now I no longer have a hat shop!




Please visit me later. Ill post the link tonight!
