The miniature show

Yesterday's mention of the 2017 ACTME show made me realise I had the photos I took at this year's show tucked away somewhere. Not that I took very many, as I was rather distracted by full-size-home issues at that time.

(So distracted, in fact, that it would seem that I've completely forgotten what I bought. I suspect not very much...)

This was the first thing that caught my eye: a stool made with an old New Zealand penny, which I thought was a brilliant idea and one I wanted to replicate when I got the time and inclination.

It was part of a modern florist shop, which also contained this scratch-built kitchen:

 and this very English-looking bedroom:

The whole building was for sale, and I realised that the owner was sitting next to it so got chatting.

Her name is Alli (aka the house that ivy built), and she restores and styles dolls' houses to sell to raise money for animal rescue.

Two other scenes got my attention: this one summed up how I suspected I'd be feeling over the next few months (and boy was I right!),

 while this one was serene and classic and in my favourite colours.

(Alas I neglected to note down who made which scene, or if I did I've misplaced it...)
