Miniature Fairy Table
My dad sent me a cute fairy table kit from Fat Blossom Farm, and I went a teensy bit overboard while putting it together. 😉 The kit comes with little rounds of sustainably harvested wood for the table, chairs and base, plus acorn “bowls” and a bag of seeds and corn kernels to serve in […]

The Miniature Bakery/Ice Cream Parlor Book is Almost Done!

Bakery Room Box: Finishing the Freezer Case
As the week comes to a close, I wrapped up the last case in the miniature bakery: the freezer case in the back corner. I decided to fill it with cartons of the bakery’s house-made ice cream, homemade ice cream sandwiches, and a party-size ice cream cake. I also made a rainbow layer cake and […]
Miniature Bakery: Finishing Up the Prep Counter
As work continues on the miniature bakery room box, I’ve finished the checkout counter, making a tablet-style cash register, a tray of business cards, a little plate of heart-shaped chocolate waffles dusted in confectioners’ sugar (samples for customers while they wait), and two trays of allsorts candies. I’ve just ordered some hooks for the wall […]
Dollhouse Bakery: Working on the Checkout Counter
I wrapped up work on the miniature bakery project this week by starting on the checkout counter, a long, low case with lots of display space. I wanted to feature sweets that were pre-packaged or otherwise ready for a customer to carryout with little fuss: things like candy bars, loose candies that can be scooped into baggies, […]
