New Gardening Supplies & Mini Greenhouse + FREE Gift
Filed under Fairy Garden, Miniatures, Shannon Cooper
Shannon Cooper’s Pixie Pause Room is made with the Mini Greenhouse with Stand (and is sooo cute)! Note that you can use the greenhouse separate from the stand if you’d like (the greenhouse portion is 3-1/2″ tall).
Shannon was so gracious to make a fun sample from this greenhouse (in the very short time I gave her… bad me!)
Here’s a bit from Shannon’s witty post:
“Occasionally, the younger pixies get into a bit more trouble than usual. They might forget to polish the beetles like they were told, or flit too fast through the dandelions and spoil the newly painted ladybirds. They might have even tied one too many knots in the hair of a sleeping child, and that calls for a time out! That is when they get sent off to spend a minute or two in the Pixie Pause Room, where they are supposed to think about what they did (or didn’t do) but most likely it is a place to complain about being cooped up unnecessarily for a frightfully long time.”
Everything in Shannon’s supply list is included in today’s sale collection (which includes all of today’s new and back-in-stock goodies, too) so be sure to get the DISCOUNT code below!
New & Back-in-Stock Garden Supplies
More Sale Planters & Vases
The new planters reminded me of this tiny wheelbarrow (with all the planters that can fit in it).
See a preview at right, with a Tiny Wooden Flower Pot (note: one is also in Shannon’s artwork above) and a Medium Metal Flower Pot with Saucer in the wheelbarrow, and all 3 sizes of metal flower pots sitting nearby.
All these supplies are also in today’s sale collection… see the COUPON below.

Red Circus Coach, New Filigree & Kitchen Minis
Filed under Filigree, Kristin Batsel, Miniature Baking, Miniatures, Tutorials
How cute is this?! Design Team Member Kristin Batsel turned the 3D Cinderella Coach into a Circus Coach!
Everything in Kristin’s supply list is included in today’s sale collection (which includes all of today’s new and back-in-stock goodies, too) so be sure to get the DISCOUNT code below!
Psst! The sale includes the costumes Kristin designed herself for her peg people in the coach!
I can’t help but be a little sad that the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus closed for good. I have always loved the circus, and making circus art. It just so happens that the mini 3D Cinderella Coach, with a change of color and adornments, makes the perfect little circus wagon for little peg people. It’s been years since I made my Tiny Peg Circus, and it was time for those little performers to have a means of reliable transportation.
The wagon is just the right size to hold six members of the circus. For safety reasons, no one wanted to ride with the lions, so I constructed a little cage to tag along with the wagon.
And Kristin posted a tutorial showing how to turn one of the gates from the 2 Sets of Chipboard Gates into her Lion Cage! (Safety first!)
More info in Kristin’s blog post. And see her full supply list.
Metal Filigree
Hey, the first 2 items below are back-in-stock AND in Kristin’s artwork! AND to show how versatile they are, they were also used by Laura Carson in 2 of her Elegant Eggs shown at left at right. Here’s more info on Laura’s eggs.
New Kitchen
Ok… nothing to do with filigree OR circus acts, but cute thing keep arriving and kitchen/baking miniatures are very popular!
In addition to the 3 beauties below, the extras at left and right are a Kitchen Pots & Utensils Set (an updated version: still a 10-piece set but now in a lighter-color finish — and lighter weight plastic… hence lighter on your wallet, too), and a Mini Black Waffle Iron (with waffle)!
All these goodies are also in today’s sale collection… see the COUPON below.
New Hardware
FREE Gift with Orders
In honor of the NEW 13mm Tall Fancy Crown Bead Cap shown at left, I’ve pulled together this Mini Elephant Gift Kit which is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight April 17, 2024)!
These new Crown Bead Caps are just perfect. Maybe a crown for a tiny creature. Even works up-side down as the base of a miniture cake plate (like the elephant’s circus act).
In addition to a Crown Bead Cap, I’m including both of these items:
– a Mini Baby Elephant
– a Tiny Cake Plate Filigree
(and those last 2 have been added to today’s sale collection, in case you’d like to order more)
New Red Circus Wagon SALE
One more bonus item I added to the sale collection: Florentine Brass Leaves. They’re used in more of Laura Carson’s fab eggs, like the 2 snippets shown above with all the metal filigree. (See the far right of her Red Queen Elegant Egg photo at right… at the top corners with a pearl added to each.)
Use coupon CIRCUS when checking out to get an additional 20% off on EVERYTHING in this collection! That’s 20% off beyond current sale prices! Over 20 items, including all the new items! (A few more items from Kristin’s supplies are shown below.)
The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, April 17th at midnight PST.
New Artwork: treasure hunting at The Warehouse Antiques!
Filed under Antique Shop, Miniatures, Rhonda Secrist Thomas, Shadowbox/Room Box, Tutorials
NEW artwork by Rhonda Thomas! The Warehouse Antiques is a wonder! Rhonda created 4 booths with different themes… each using a 4×4 Corner Room Box and Wrought Iron Window Grates (and fitting many of the recently-new cubbies inside to hold all the treasures).
And check out that preview photo at right: Rhonda made mossy-covered stone walls for the exterior of each booth (and provides a tutorial in her blog post).
Plus there are LOTS of new and back-in-stock miniatures today, most of which are hidden away in the antique shop… I’ll take a short tour of each booth.
Note that everything in Rhonda’s supply list AND ALL 25 of today’s new/back-in-stock items are included in today’s sale (read on to get the DISCOUNT code info)! Over 90 items!

The French Country Booth
To help me (and hopefully you) find things easier, I created a subset search link for each booth. Use this link to see just (ahem) the items in this French Country Booth.
Starting with some of Rhonda’s faves:
I love the hanging lantern. I used a simple plant hanger, a touch of gold acrylic paint and strong glue. Make sure to let the glue dry for a few hours so that the hanger is secure.
I have found so many gorgeous items for my kitchen from this booth. Old cake tins/pans and salt and pepper shakers are a fav. I also have a collection of roosters on top of my fridge, so that baby will be coming home with me.
Note: that search on “roosters” also links to the rooster on the throw rug!
I love how Rhonda painted the Geometric Design Pitcher (in gold and white… see the left side of the close-up photo below).
Before moving on to the next booth, here are links to 3 back-in-stock beauties in the French Country Booth:
– Copper Bundt Cake Pan Set
– Milk Bottles in Wire Basket
– White 3-Tier Cupcake Stand
The Traditional Booth
Use this link to see the 22 items in this Traditional Booth.
Starting with a little story by Rhonda:
I had a gumball machine just like that when I was seven years old. We got it for Christmas, the whole family, and I was mesmerized. Probably not a good decision on my parent’s part because I was a gum hog. I would chew it all up every time they filled it and then one day, it wasn’t there anymore. It’s a little out of my price range so I had to leave it for another lucky buyer.
More of Rhonda’s antique gold and white paint technique is on 3 cast metal items (in the top row of the tall 6 Cubbies Rectangular Block at left):
– Bowl or Vase with 2 Square Handles
– Pitcher or Vase with Square Handle
– A teapot (no longer available BUT there is a new tea set!).
Before moving on to the next booth, here are links to 4 new or back-in-stock supplies in the Traditional Booth:
– Gold 3-Arm Candelabra
– Standing Gumball Machine
– Set of Gold Oval Frames
– Ink Well with Quill
The Oddities Booth
I have found some really cool finds in here. I have a collection of those crawling babies and religious statues.
The Creepy Dolls Collage Sheet is one of my favorites because the images are all dolls from my real life collection. Remember that TV series Oddities? That show inspired many of my crazy collections including several of the crawling babies.
There’s a new Retro Cast Metal Lunch Box (and related Cast Metal Thermos Bottle) similar to the red and black lunch pails Rhonda included (over on the left, the row under the vintage typewriter).
A few more… I’ve added the Mini Gramophone to this group (not quite the same one Rhonda used, but the same size and a close design). Under the creepy crawling baby is an Old Fashion Black Desk Phone and a Mini Microscope.
Use this link to see the 27 items in this Oddities Booth.
The Cashier Booth
Very cool! You can see in the wide photo way at the top of this page (with all 4 booths in one image): the cash register and the 6 cubbies/counter it’s sitting on can be moved off of the 4×4 floor and arranged separately.
There are TWO new cash registers today:
– The Large Antique Copper Cash Register is the one Rhonda used (a bit large for 1:12 scale but has lots of cool design details)
– The Bronze Cash Register is another color version of the gold one we’ve had for ages
The Cubby Faux Fronts Collage Sheet is a dream for those who create miniature scenes. Some areas, I simply cut the image out and glued it to the front of my cubby. You can find the cubbies in a variety of compartments including 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9. Best part, they are easy to assemble.
Note: Rhonda made some of the faux fronts into paper-hinged doors that can be folded open. More info on her blog post.
The signs (like “Old Prints”, “Glass & China”, “Cashier” and the name of her project: “The Warehouse Antiques”) are all from the same collage sheet. Rhonda used the Half Scale Signs and Sign Hangers (some hanging like the “cashier” sign in close-up below and some parts as separate sign backs like the “Sale” sign behind the gumball machine above).
Use this link to see all the items in this Cashier Booth.
FREE Gift with Orders

This is a custom collection that includes ALL the supplies from Rhonda’s artwork AND the 3 goodies in the gift kit I just mentioned AND ALL 25 new/back-in-stock items! I picked out a few more new items not yet shown to highlight below (and the Miniature Red Scale at right).

Chocolates, Strawberries, Candy Tins & Jars + FREE Sweets
Filed under Market Stall, Miniature Baking, Miniatures, Teri Calia, Valentine's Day
Maybe it’s all the Easter candy lining the grocery store shelves… but I’ve been thinking about chocolates.
And as a few mini (teeny tiny!) resin and polymer clay sweets arrived from Thailand (and some long-missed candy jar sets finally became available again)… I thought it’s time to revisit this fabulous Maison de l’Amour Market Stall artwork by Teri Calia!
Everything in Teri’s supply list is included in today’s sale collection (which includes all these new and back-in-stock goodies, too) so be sure to get the DISCOUNT code below!
New & Back-in-Stock Cookie Tins & Sweets!
Eek! It’s been ages since I could find these tins! And look how sweet they look with the new polymer clay strawberries or chocolate roses inside (or some cookies). All the treats are directly below.
There are also 2 collage sheets with tiny labels for the tins (already in the sale as part of Teri’s supplies; you can view them both here).
All these goodies are also in today’s sale collection… see the COUPON below.

(and those last 2 cakes have been added to today’s sale collection, in case you’d like to order more)
New Sweet Treats Market Stall SALE
A few more sale items I added to Teri’s supply list, to substitute for old items which have sold out:

– Tiny Doilies – White – Set of 4
– Micro Mini Teddy Bear (yes, there is one on the 2nd shelf, over on the right side but partially hidden by the banner)

– Arrowback Rocking Chair Kit (my substitute stall isn’t deep enough for a chair, but there is one in the original art, which a dog sitting on it)
– Miniature White Vase
– Red Heart Inside Heart Polymer Clay Cane
Whew!

New Room Box, Furniture & Artist Studio Artwork!
Filed under Collage Sheets, Guest Designers, Miniatures, Shadowbox/Room Box
What a treat! A new 7×9 Corner Room Box with Window (designed to fit the Double Layer Window).
Plus new furniture (and LOTS of new and back-in-stock miniature supplies fit for an artist’s studio… more on that shortly).
And NEW artwork by Connie Littell! Note that everything in Connie’s supply list AND ALL 22 of today’s new/back-in-stock items are included in today’s sale (read on to get the DISCOUNT code info)!
Artist Studio in Miniature
This little scene uses the new 7 x 9 Corner Room Box with Window. Before starting any room box I dry fit it together to determine which side of each wall is interior vs exterior and mark them as such. I was going for a slightly industrial loft look for this studio so started by bricking the interior wall with the window in it. I covered the assembly tabs with painters tape then, working in sections, I used the same tape to hold a Small Brick Wall Stencil in place. The raised bricks were made using modeling paste, which I spread through the stencil openings with a palette knife. The stencil was carefully lifted off and rinsed with water and the wall was set aside for the paste to dry. After a few hours I moved the stencil to a new section to repeat this process.
The furnishings for the art studio are some new pieces as well. Alpha Stamps carries a series of cubbies that can be stacked into a huge variety of configurations. I chose to use a Single Cubby (set of 2) plus a 4 Cubbies Square Block and a 6 Cubbies Rectangular Block for the display case. They were painted in a dark brown before being stacked and glued to each other. The rear wall and ‘floor’ of each cubby got a muted neutral paper to help show off the contents inside each cube. Since the single cubby comes in a set of two, I decided to reverse one of them and give it a faux drawer front using the new Cubby Faux Fronts Collage Sheet. There were SO many great options to choose from I had a hard time deciding!
I painted the bottom of a Tall Wooden Ladder and added a cardinal brad for inspiration. The red bird painting on the Miniature Easel with Blank Canvases is a work in progress. There’s a Miniature Paint Set in Box sitting on the stool and the 15mm Tall Glass Jar on the drop cloth has some tinted resin in it to represent a paint brush rinse cup.
The Miniature Easel comes with two blank wooden boards. Those got tucked into a Wooden Storage Crate with Metal Screen Sides along with (another) Mini Frame (some were also used on the wall to frame finished paintings) and a scrap of mat board.
Beautiful work, Connie!
More info (and more photos!) in Connie’s blog post. Plus more specifics on where she used items from her supply list.
More New Supplies!
Don’t be deceived by the (relatively) large size of those wooden jars shown at right: see how tiny they are, per one I’m holding in the pic at left! Those are 2 tiny wooden jars + 2 wooden barrel beads + a new set of flat disc beads that fit as lids. See all 5 in the group here.
Did you notice Connie used both of those wooden jars in her Artist Studio? She added labels from the Tiny Craft Room Labels Collage Sheet (after painting them white to look like acrylic paint jars).
Those jar parts plus a bunch more new or back-in-stock supplies shown below are ALL in today’s sale collection… see the COUPON below.
NEW: Artist Studio SALE
Ooo! Another beautiful photo of Connie’s project! Makes me want to move right in!

And NEW artwork by Design Team Member Rhonda Thomas! Note that everything in Rhonda’s supply list AND ALL 25 of today’s new/back-in-stock items are included in today’s sale (read on to get the DISCOUNT code info)!
Delectable Eggs
These are so sweet! Rhonda has made a grouping of paper mache eggs, each with a window cut into them for a miniature scene inside. All are on wooden or metal (bead cap) stands. And all are covered in pretty trims (and lots of old jewelry finds from Rhonda’s stash)!
Long time no see! After over a year, and a difficult one at that, I am finally back, creating from my heart and enjoying the chance to share with you all again. I’ve always said creating art is like therapy to me. Always wonderful to get lost in a project.
This project gave me the chance to go “over the top”. Each egg, ready for little treasures and lots of bling. Items I never thought would be possible to use became part of a puzzle with each piece forming a perch when attached to one another.
Although many of my delectable eggs look complicated, each was quite simple and only required patience and some good glue.
More info (and more photos!) in Rhonda’s blog. Plus Rhonda includes photos and instructions on cutting windows in the eggs.
Note: there are photos of (more) items in Rhonda’s supplies below the row of eggs (directly below), and more highlighted down in the sale section!
FREE Gift with Orders
In honor of a flurry of new and back-in-stock Dresden trims (12 in all!) I’ve pulled together this Mini Dresden Gift Kit which is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight March 20, 2024)!
It’s a mix of skinny borders, some from past offerings, some still on sale on the site. The photo shows a range of colors and designs… the actual kit will be 5-6 strips (all different… and these are approx. 6″ in length).
And see below for 6 of the new Dresden items… or click here to see all 12 Dresden trims (all included in the sale collection… see below for the DISCOUNT code)!

New Minis & TWO Sewing-Themed Room Boxes + FREE Gift!
Filed under Fabric/Sewing, Miniatures, Shadowbox/Room Box, Shannon Cooper
Maybe a craft room (a quilting room, a knitting room)… lots of ideas (and inspiration below in TWO projects by Design Team Member Shannon Cooper), but first: a preview photo and SIX of the 16 new or back in stock supplies that inspired me to revisit those fun projects. ALL are included in today’s sale (read on to get the DISCOUNT code info)!
The first of Shannon’s projects is The Mini Quilter’s Nook!
For the past couple of months, I have been been assembling a miniature craft room inside an 8″ x 6″ x 5″ deep room box. It is a pretty small space but there are so many things going on inside. It started with a Sewing Machine, then a Sewing Room Thread Cabinet, along with a Library Table that worked out great as a place to store bolts of fabric, and finally half of a Chipboard Steamer Trunk for a bookcase…
Personally, I love the bolts of fabric Shannon made (you can spy a couple with a cat lounging on them in the wide photo below… and more are stashed under that “cutting table”).
And (of course!), I also love the Sewing Room Thread Cabinet (that Shannon is holding open in the photo at far right). She did such a good job decorating it (and distressing it… the cat must have been scratching at it). Plus that orange-y “leather” box of thread on the bottom shelf is made from the 1 inch Faux Book Box!
More info (and more photos!) in Shannon’s blog. You won’t believe some of the photos like the teeny, tiny knitting sample Shannon made (see the red knitting in the basket in the lower left corner of the wide photo at the top of this post). Or the tiny embroidery in that basket at left?!
Note: there are photos of (more) items in Shannon’s supplies highlighted down in the sale section (and substitutes I added to the sale, too)!
Next up is The Doll Maker’s Room!
I sooo love Shannon’s tiny, filled-to-the-brim sewing scene! Here’s a bit from her blog post:
Sometimes the smallest of things spark the greatest happiness. Whether it comes in the smile of a newborn baby, a kitty jumping in your lap for a snuggle, or an espresso macaron, finding joy in your everyday life is essential. Lots of times it is just there waiting for you to see it.
Joy presented itself to me via Alpha Stamps in the form of a 1:12 scale Vintage Sewing Table, which is nearly as nice as a warm kitty in your lap. The Vintage Sewing Table led to (surprise!) a Vintage Sewing Machine, then a 4 x 4 inch square room box to put the table, followed by a shelf… well, when it was all said and done, I had the makings of a little sewing room and I couldn’t have been happier.
I tweaked the idea of a sewing room into a little doll maker’s space early on, mostly after assembling the Tiny Spice Rack into a ribbon holder. Don’t ask how that translated into “doll maker’s studio” because I couldn’t tell you. It just sort of happened.
The 1:12 Wall-Mount Mail Holders Set (swoon!) were turned into bitty bins for fabric, patterns, button cards, and even a silly rabbit. I really love those holders! After assembling them, I slathered modeling paste over the surface with my finger, left them to dry, then painted the holders with white acrylic paint. They were sanded a bit, given a blotchy floral paint job, and finally aged with a smidgeon of watered down brown acrylic paint. They are pretty cute in a very rustic sort of way. It works here, I guess. I mimicked the paint job on the spice rack for cohesion.
I love how this project turned out! You can see more photos and read more on her blog post. Plus here’s Shannon’s supply list.

Time for (Mini) Easter Baskets! New Goodies plus FREE Gift!
Filed under Easter, Guest Designers, Miniatures, Shadowbox/Room Box
A few of today’s back-in-stock minis (and that we’ve entered MARCH) inspired me to revisit this fun Filling Easter Baskets Room Box by Connie Littell!
I used a Small Trinket Shelf Stand to display the finished baskets. It comes with a drawer that fits at the bottom. I chose to leave it out in order to give myself more room to display everything. Before assembling it, I used the rear wall as a template for the paper on the top shelf.
I added two of the 1:12 Shelves on the wall, and framed a few sweet bunny prints using the Mini Frames Set and images cut from the Peter Rabbit and Bigger Bunnies collage sheets.
Beside the photos below, see even more photos on the original blog post (though check back here cuz I’ve added new Easter options as substitutes for some sold out items).
Don’t forget to read to the bottom for the DISCOUNT code on the sale collection (which includes all the new and back-in-stock goodies mentioned in this newsletter — and everything in Connie’s supply list)!

See tons more from Shannon’s supply list.
New Tools
Maybe not all tools per se (like that fab stepstool) but all would fit right in with Shannon’s project… AND all these miniatures are also in today’s sale collection… see the COUPON below.
Star Filled Dreams by Design Team Member Rhonda Thomas
Oooh! What a beautiful little scene! Rhonda used half-scale items for this project (which surprisingly work well with the (fairly large) prints on the 12×12 papers.
Here’s an intro from Rhonda’s blog post to get us started:
It brings my spirit peace when I am creating, especially when it is a miniature space that I can get lost in. The latest kit from Alpha Stamps, “Lucky Star”, is put together to make the perfect creative escape.
I began with this Square Half Scale Corner Room Box. After easily putting it together with a tad of glue, I gave it a light coat of white paint. I don’t like to paint the chipboard too much because it might warp if I get it too wet. One thing that really helped in the design was how beautifully this set of Lucky Star 12×12 Scrapbook Papers are, it made it easy to put the room together.
For my side table, I used an image from the Mini Alchemy Half Collage Sheet. I also used a vintage cufflink as framed art.
The Half Scale Bed was super easy to create. Again, after gluing it together I added a tad of white paint. To make the bedspread, I simply cut off the amount of paper to “reach the floor” and kept the trim on the top that shows what the other side of the paper has on it. It made for a perfect fold over on the bed spread. Next, I shaped the paper over the bed and made a scalloped trim with some shaped scissors.
Clever: making a comforter and pillow cases with scalloped edges!

Plus that Dollhouse for a Dollhouse! A sweet dollhouse (painted wood) with a front facade that opens to reveal 2 floors (and the little roof can tilt back a little, too, to access the attic room). It’s in 1:12 Scale (but since it is sized to fit inside a dollhouse, it is 1:144 scale).
And the tiny metal items shown with the dollhouse in the pics at left and right are new, too… AND all these goodies are also in today’s sale collection… see the COUPON below. (And there are 2 more cast metal things mentioned below with the coupon info, as I’ve run out of roooommm!)
