New Improved 'Fisherman's Rest'

I know that some people were a little worried that the occupants of my cottages had no toilet facilities. I decided to remedy this problem with a new addition to 'Fisherman's Rest' - an outside privy. It's big enough for a toilet or could be used simply for storage. There's also still space in the small yard for a few plant pots. This new 'improved' cottage is for sale on ebay right now.

New on the Market - 1/12th Scale 'The Porthole'

New in the Estate Agents window today - 1/12th scale 'The Porthole' - ideal as a family home but also with great business potential as a bed and breakfast or a restaurant. Julie Lawton made me the wonderful 'The Porthole' sign some time ago and I have been waiting for the right house to use it on ever since. The porthole window in the attic seemed to make this the ideal property for it. I imagined a retired sea captain sitting in his attic watching the ships go by through his telescope. Or I did also think this would make a lovely seaside B&B. It's on ebay right now so go and take a look.

Another Little 1/12th Scale Shop

This is another little 1/12th scale shop I've just completed. These are such fun to build and so easy to accommodate on a shelf or in a bookcase. And what sort of shop could it be - the possibilities are endless. Someone did mention an idea for an ice cream shop - sounds delicious - or I think my favourite would be a store filled with shabby chic accessories. This is on ebay right now if you have your own ideas for a new business!

New 1/12th Scale Shop

This is a new 1/12th scale shop just completed this weekend. I found the lovely big window on ebay a while ago - it's quite an old one, made by Anglesey Dolls Houses, so I won't be able to make another shop like this as they ceased trading some years ago. Such a nice deep window sill allows plenty of space for dispaying stock - ideal for flowers, antiques, shabby chic accessories - the possibilities are endless!

Another 1/12th Scale Sail Loft and Anchorage

I was asked if I could make another Sail Loft Cottage and also The Anchorage. Here they are together in the sunshine (yes, that rare thing - sunshine!) They look almost like the start of a little Cornish village.

1/12th Scale 'Sea Shanty Cottage'

Just completed yesterday - 'Sea Shanty Cottage'. I managed to get out in the garden between showers to take these photos. The brick front was a bit of an experiment - I've never tried using brick impress moulds before but they were quite straightforward to use - time consuming though!! Perhaps I will speed up with practise! Sea Shanty is on ebay right now.

An Extension for Beach Cottage

Remember Beach Cottage? This is an extension designed to sit alongside the cottage giving the occupant a small oustide space for plants, chickens, hanging out washing and also the all important outside toilet!
