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.
Medieval market hall with game and onions hung from the ceiling, and tables of produce under.
Wheel barrow full of produce in a medieval market hall.
 And finally this scene, by Norma Krebs (Lower Hutt Miniature Makers), called Fun at the beach:
One-twelfth scale seaside stall.
