Mini Monday

So finally a Monday with actual miniature stuff.

I was able to work a bit yesterday, between customers in my real life antique shop. I added trim to the top of shop walls.

I have finally decided it will NOT be a dress shop BUT instead just hats and lingerie. I have lots of hats and plan to make some lingerie from patterns I have found.

Since I had planned to make it a dress shop I was going to need a dressing room and had temporarily borrowed a screen from my doll house to serve that function. But I don't think I will

need one now. So that can go back to the doll house. I had already taken these pictures so it is included

I found some appropriate pictures for the walls. I have put up three, the others will have to wait until I find some shelving I like, to hold all the hat boxes. Then if I still need something on the wall they can go up.

For some reason these pictures are all washed out looking and I didn't even use a flash. I will try again tomorrow to get better color. My camera has been acting up a bit. I hope it is not dying.

I have to admit I am not thrilled with the look of it yet. I think that piece of furniture that is presently holding fabric may go..(it is too clunky looking).... And I need to do something with the floor. And I have to find the table and chairs to use, they are somewhere up in my studio I know.

So right now it is just a box holding the stuff I have made and collected up.

I don't think I will get much done on the shop today because I have a lot of other stuff to do. But check back. You never know.

The construction begins......

I was able to spend yesterday working on the room box. It isn't too far done but it is on its way. I am now working figuring out how to do the various things I want to do to the walls to make it look like the "Milady's Shoppe." Not very fancy at this point. But it is underway. I really can't do much work today because my shop is open and busy AND we are off to an auction tonight. But I am hopeful I can do more tomorrow. Meanwhile I am making plans.

This picture below is the original shop I started. But as you can see it is a little small and doesn't show off things very well. So with the new one I will be able to be a better job I hope. As you can see I already have a lot of items for the shop. And I have a box full of more items not even shown in the picture. So...................... once the walls, floors windows (that I plan to add) are in place I should be ready to add the "inventory" to the shop. I hope to done with most of it by next weekend.


So check in on Monday for more.
