This was not my first year at the show, but it was the first as a stand alone Dealer. I had sold before at this show, but not sure which year it was and it was only half a table. This year was special and even though I could not man the table as I…

A bucket full of flowers…
Was just going through some photos and came across a floral mini I made for an exchange gift at our year end party for Miniature Club of BC. Thought I’d share. Only made this one but I really like the flower combination so I might make some more flowers and maybe put them in the…
Rustic stone planter
Had seen a similar looking stone pot with lavender and tried recreating it for gifts to my two friends the “mniteers”. They had been wanting some peonies, but wanted for their garden. Take a look I made 3 and kept the little one. Had a lot of fun making them and will be making more…
Peonies for a new friend

Etager – wood – early work OOAK
I made this little wooden etager in my early days of working with miniatures. It was a gift for my friend Janine and the only one I ever made. I thoroughly love to work with wood and make things unlike others I’ve seen. I imagined this would be good to place a little candle on…
