My Miniatures and Shops for sale on Ebay!





Well its that time of year again! Christmas is coming.....so the children keep telling me! So I have had a good look at my miniatures and decided what can stay and what will go!

Tomorrow night I will be listing lots of Artisan Made and other miniatures.

I am selling a lovely shop I bought last year but only used for about a month or so to see how it would look as a hairdressers/Beauty salon using all my furniture and miniatures I had bought and stored for a year or more!

The shop is painted white and blue. Inside is pale blue and no flooring yet. So really its a good blank canvas for someone to repaint easily to their won taste. It would make a lovely hat/dress/bridal shop, or Im selling all my things from it if anyone wanted a project ready made they can then add bits too, new posters, bottles and things and make it a really lovely salon?



I am selling the shop seperatly incase someone dosnt want all the minis, and everything else is listed seperatly. If you look at the inside pic all thats in there will be sold in lots.

Ill add the listing link tomorrow here and on facebook.



Also I am selling other things, including these 2 adorable mice made by Julie Lawton, hand made and dressed so beautifully! I bought them last Christmas for Lolas house but now shes thinking of a different style mouse house so they are new, never been out of the box!





Ill add the listing link tomorrow here and on facebook.

Another artisan made miniature is this pretty in pink cake preparation board made by Eve from after Dark Miniatures. anyone that follows Eve's fabulous work will konw she is very much inn demand and her work goes for alot of pennies as she has many collectors, so grab a bargain why dont you!



I wanted it for a shabby chic project that never happened as usual! Im conentrating on only my fantasy projects now, haunted house and all Harry Potter and witch /wizard houses so all else must go and make room for these things.

I have other things too, this pretty hat display i bought at a fair some time ago.





Im also going to be selling another shop next week, details to follow and maybe my 2nd Beacon Hill, I just dont have the room for it. Lots of other minis to go too, so keep your eyes peeled for my listing please.

Some pretty baskets full of goodies!




And check out these cool stools . I got them in the US and havnt seen any like them anywhere!






Oh and how about this for all you Alice fans!





I treated myself to this gorgeous Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Box of Shadows make up set, bought out to co-oincide with the Tim Burton film release. I love it to bits, it oepns up with a little mirror and this fab pop up Alice scene, how cool!
I havnt used any of the make up, see all the amazing colours and names! Eye pencils and primer too.





It is a rare limited edition set so Im hoping it sells at the price i paid for it! I just dont wear make up enough to just warrant it sitting in its box, even if it is very pretty and collectable. I need the pennies for my love of minis!

So hope someone sees something they like. I can send miniatures overseas but have learned I have to use recorded signed for which is not cheap Im afraid but it gets there with abit of peace of mind!

As for my projects, well, Lacey starts full time at school this week so watch this space, lots to be done!!! And Lola and I have been having a play at a new hobby, as if I need more to do, but its fun, come by soon to see!!

YAY! You are doing it...you're having a sale! lol

It will be great for you, you'll not only have some money for new mini's but space for the mini's you do want.

I have spares too, items I know I probably won't use or have room for! That's bad! lol I should sell them...it's just doing it...

The email to you is almost done! lol
Looking forward to seeing this 'new' hobby! :o)

A great idea Kate. I wish you every success. Christmas gets worse every year when children are of that age. Great fun but very demanding on the purse.

This is a great way to raise cash though as you have so many good quality pieces and Ebay could really do with some proper pieces at the moment.

Love all of the beauty salon items, will definately have to watch out for them on ebay! Now in the middle of doing a hairdressers and beauty salon, so they'd be great.

Hi Janice, spooky I was just thinking of you today and how you were? I have to start Christmas shopping halfway through the year for this lot lol! I havnt bought anything on ebay for a while, not much on there i agree! I hope they sell, trouble with ebay is people want something for nothing sometimes and these are, like you say, quality miss so worth the prices! xxx

Hi Clare, fingers crossed you will see things you like! I had a 2 story hair and beauty salon originally then crammed it all into 1 but now need the pennies for my Potter shops! Good luck with your project!xxx

Hi Lori, well thats the plan! I always miss my minis once they are gone though, Im pretty useless getting rid of things, Im a terrible hoarder! by the way I hanvt forgotten the pics of the beacon, just need to find time to empty it!
