More Finds I forgot I had in my Workshop!





I decided not to go about clearing out my workshop by halves but really give it a good tidy and found another forgotten , not 1, not 2, but over 8 boxes of minis and furniture hiding at the back!
I have decided now to be really harsh with myself and only keep what will fit in my existing houses and thats it! No more saying, 'oh I should keep it just incase'! as I have more than enough houses to work on and cant keep all this boxed up any longer! It deserves to go to good homes and thankyou to all those have made bids or had a look, there is much more to come!
I have listed some more lovely things last night and then will have a break until next week as its going to take me long enough packing all this up and posting. Thats the horrid bit!
Anyway, as an idea, there are more mixed furniture sets, some light, some dark wood, gothic, witchy items including those above, a great apothecary cabinet with loads of drawers for all those potions, spooky bed, wardrobe and fireplace, day beds , shop items , bridal dresses, shop counters and much more.
I intend to get down to just my racks of drawers filled with furniture and materials needed for my own projects and no more, lets see how long it takes to do it!

Today we had a trip to the car boot for bargains, ( I know I need to do my own, and I will as I have 5 houses to sell!) . John got a great lot of Lego , I think he has an alterior motive in buying it to keep the children busy and quiet while football is on!

Off later to the school fair then homebase to get my paint samples as come the good weather I have 3 houses to paint and Lola and I have her walls of Brambly to do. Lola hasnt been well with a nasty chest infection hence her quietness on the scene but we hope to get back into her project soon. In the mean time I have to keep her out of the workshop or she would want me to keep the lot .
I have a wonderful new doll to show you and as soon as I get some good pics I will be introducing her to you, and Ive actually managed to name this one! Shes a beaut!

You have some really unusual pieces of furniture to sell! Must be hard to part with it, but I know that saying about it might come in handy one day etc. You will have heaps of room for stuff you can actually make use of. ;o))

Wow! What a amazing things to have put away in boxes! They're really beautiful, Julia!

Mind you, I can understand how it happens. I've only been doing miniatures for less than a year, and I have a box of stuff for the William and Mary house. If, heaven forbid, it never gets built, I'll be in exactly the same state as you in a few years!

Sorry, Kate, I called you Julia by mistake in my comment :( I'm SO sorry! I knew the instant I hit PUBLISH it it was wrong, but it was too late!

I love the Wooten desk! Did you build it yourself? I have a tendency to find kits I buy and store away and forget about them. It's much nicer to find the completed items!!!
