How I spent my birthday (part 1)

The day involved three mini friends (and one non-mini friend).
Two women looking at a miniature garden while drinking tea,
Adelaide brought her Italian garden courtyard for us to admire...

Miniature rocks with tiny red door with tiny mouse peeping out.
 And her trunk project, with a most appropriate tag,

Jennifer brought a present: a hand-knitted cashmere scarf.

(Which made me feel very special).

After morning tea, we headed up to Div's studio,

The group ranged from experienced miniaturists to first timers.

I was pleased to find I had been given the special black and white version of the kit...

    Sounds like a wonderful birthday! Adelaide's courtyard looks even more inviting than in the photos I've seen of it before (I don't remember actually seeing them at the fair).

    Very interesting to see around Div's studio! I spot an early GeeBee and a Kitfix/Severalls. What is the large brick building with green doors and shutters?

    Rebecca: I don't think Adelaide had her version on display at the show. The rest were down the end next to James. And the pink and green house is Monet's House: I'm not sure what she used to build it in...
