I shall make sure to add a bucket for the trash under it as well! :D<br />Isn't it funny how certain memories we retain about visits to grandmother house, involve those tiny little details. <br />I have vivid memories of my grandmother ironing fresh laundry, and so whenever I pass a laundry room with a dryer going, the smell takes me right back to her house. <br /><br />elizabeth<br />p.s.

You're right, the cloth skirt under the sink makes it better. When I was little, my grandmother had a similar thing. Behind the skirt there was usually a bucket or two for the kitchen trash.<br />Also these days I added a new sink to the kitchen, but I did not do it alone, I bought and assembled it.<br />I agree that the rooms behind the rooms give a very realistic appearance to the house. My old dolls house was two rooms deep, and two openable facades. Unfortunately I had to take it apart. :(<br />I love all the details and objects that you have scattered: the Italian coffee maker, the jars, the grater ... all very alive and real! I will continue to read your old posts, see you soon!Elenèhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548058349353363258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-11001297795447133042018-02-20T12:03:55.815-08:002018-02-20T12:03:55.815-08:00Greetings Marlies! :D

I made it several years ago, yet never had a permanent destination for it. <br />I needed an overhead light for the kitchen, but when nothing I saw on-line looked suitable, I reverted to scouring through my own <br />"stuff in waiting" and re-found the lantern, which happened to be the perfect fit for this kitchen- Meant To Be! ;D<br />Thank You for enjoying the photos too, which is always "the icing on the cake" for me! :D<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-89194996255192514442018-02-20T11:54:30.449-08:002018-02-20T11:54:30.449-08:00Hi Auralea and Thank You Very Much!

Of all the comments I have EVER received, this one is OUT-WEIGHS THEM ALL- <br />I have never been so moved.<br /><br />I have a dear friend who had to give up her passion for miniatures because of a stroke she'd suffered more than 4 years ago. When I visit with her I can feel her frustration and see her pain, so your battle to fight both depression and regain your sense of self, is something which I'm familiar with through the struggles of my friend Bettie.<br /><br />When I consider all of the suffering in this world and then think about this hobby and this blog, I feel such an imbalance. It's both frivolous and trivial by comparison, but what a BLESSING GOD has given me because of your comment.<br />I am Thrilled that you have been Inspired by my "Arthur" and for your desire to recreate your version of it! :D<br />I am going to be looking forward to seeing your photos Lindy-but in the meantime, <br />I want to THANK YOU for letting me find YOU! ♥<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-7400143824568004182018-01-13T14:07:48.293-08:002018-01-13T14:07:48.293-08:00I had a stroke several years ago.

You got me into minis and inspired me in many, many ways. I hope you understand that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I am in the process of recreating your Arthur House, piece by piece. Not exactly, of course, but as close as my limited talent can go. I think it is because I want to feel what you felt. I sincerely thank you for your inspiration, both as an incredible artist, but also as a delightful person. I will post pictures soon.

Happy New Year and Thank You Very Much for such a Lovely comment and compliment! :D<br />I really enjoy playing and experimenting with materials and techniques, almost as much as I enjoy the end results, and can only wish that more of my mini trials were actually successful yet there is usually a lesson learned. ;D<br />Glad to know that you approve of the new stove. Sue's work is really Terrific as this cooker is a dead ringer of the original inspiration photo. :))<br />The cheese on the grater is by HUNGARIAN MINIATURES, a piece which I LOVE! <br />I didn't mention the maker in this blog because I had already done so in 2 prior posts but, Erzabet's work is Always Stunning! <br />Filling the shelves with the copper cookware made me Very Happy since I've been collecting it for a while. I was relieved to be able to get as much of it on display as I did. <br />I wish you a Creative year ahead Josje and may we all continue to enjoy A BEAUTIFUL WORLD (both Real and Mini) in 2018 :D<br /><br />elizabeth<br />elizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449505618824942041.post-76542018061092324262018-01-02T04:55:58.126-08:002018-01-02T04:55:58.126-08:00Wow, what a post!

The sink with its fixings, taps and plug are so wonderful! Your tomatoes look ripe and plump and delicious. And you bread looks sooo good! The whole styling of the kitchen is fantastic, the shelves with the fab copper pans and all the kitchen implements.
