Miniature shopping

So, maybe I was being a tease yesterday when I said that we were going shopping.Yes, I bought stuff, but probably won't have the light to photograph it properly until the weekend. (Oh! That's tomorrow. Excuse me, it's been quite a week, even though I've not been in New Zealand...)

Instead, here are some miniature shops that were on display...

A row of shops by Weenie's Sunday School :

Row of one-twelfth scale miniature shops.
 My fave was Op-it by Alison Ede:
One-twelfth scale miniature op shop.
(Because I don't often see op shops in miniature...)
Various items displayed in the window of a one-twelfth scale miniature op shop.

Jean Blanc made this toy shop:
One-twelfth scale toy shop.
(Which seemed more like a dolls' house shop to me!)

 Mall time by Debs Hoy (Waikato Miniatures Club, Weenie's Sunday School): shops in books.
Row of one-twelfth scale shops built inside a row of books.
(And books inside a shop inside books!)

 Going further back in time, there was this market hall by Racheal Moberly:
Medieval market hall with game and onions hung from the ceiling.

 And finally this scene, by Norma Krebs (Lower Hutt Miniature Makers), called Fun at the beach:
One-twelfth scale seaside stall.
