After the last couple of days I need to pull the drawbridge up and recover, but decided that can include putting away the treasures I collected yesterday, and pulling the dark academia scene back to the centre of the work table (and my mind). All in my pyjamas.
Here're the treasure I bought yesterday to add to my collection:
First up, I went back for the other pieces of furniture to match the writing desk I bought on Friday night: I don't have any plans for them, but felt bad splitting them up:
and while I was at the stall, picked up a cheap bag of furniture because I spied some tiny drawers in it (I obviously still have a thing for tiny drawers)and when I got home realised they were part of a victorian dresser set and I'd just seen them upside down while the mirror piece was hiding.Also in the bag was a blue bookcase, and filing cabinet which will be fun to try and refinish to fit into the current build, plus a broken table: I'm still tossing up if I should glue it back together or sacrifice the legs for more candle holders.
The last thing I picked up from that particular stall was a sheet of stupidly-cheap wall tiles:

I couldn't resist buying a few kits: a couple more JWT ones and one from a new-to-me seller, Gum Blossom Miniatures, which I couldn't resist because it had daisies on it:
(I'd admired a completed version of the shop drawers kit on the stall of The Miniature Witch, and she was kind enough to tell me that it was made from a kit: and I was lucky enough to find one on the very next stall when I asked!)Speaking of which (the dark academia scene, not being more tired than I thought), I popped the writing desk into my trial scene, which caused me to need to move some things around, and add some more books (and the 2-drawer filing cabinet to test), and I'm feeling rather pleased with the result so far:

That's looking fantastic!!
Thank you: although I think it's veering into 'crazy old professor' a bit far but a) isn't that what dark academia is based on and b) does it matter if it does? 🤣
🤣 I think it's creative license time to go to dark academia if you want. It could be a little Moriarty-like and that's ok!! I really enjoy looking at your creations!
You found really nice items and the « final » set up is very nice ! And you get to do the best : craft minis in pjs ! Mini ElleAime
