Hello Everyone. Well it has been a very exciting week for me as it was time for the annual Sydney Dollhouse and Miniatures Fair at Homebush.
It has been two years since I was last at the fair and was so dissapointed that I couldn't attend last year. So rain, hail or shine I was going this year.
|
After convincing my Mum that she needed to come (after all I needed someone to stop me if I got mini-itis.
The need to buy every mini you see!) We headed to Homebush.
 |
I loved this cutout so that you could view all the contents!
Our first stop was to look at the wonderful displays. The houses were in multiple scales, some 1/144, 1/12 1/24 etc. Below are a few of my favourite houses/ideas from the show.

| Flower Shop |
 |
| Steam Punk Extravaganza! |
 |
| Tudor Kit |
 |
| Kitchen Room box |
 |
| This shop was one of my favourite room boxes at the fair. It held a wonderful secret! Can you see the Baker in the back room? Well this miniaturist came up with a great idea so that you could see the items in the back room. It's a mirror! Fabulous idea. You could use this idea for those rooms that are just too hard to access, but you still want to be able to use and see! |

| Mirror placement in back room. |
 |
| Lots of handmade treats. |
 |
| Grocery Store |
 |
| Jewellery Shop |
 |
| Haberdashery Shop. I just want that cotton display cabinet! |

My Mum loved the florist as well. I just wish I was good at making miniature flowers!
DeleteSuch beautiful things! I can see the danger of minitis! lol
ReplyDeleteLucky I had my Mum to be "the voice of reason" so that when I was starting to get carried away…she would direct me to the next stall.
DeleteWonderful shots and the bakery is perfection! ~J
ReplyDeleteThe bakery was wonderful. The miniaturist made all the bakery items themselves.
DeleteQue casitas y escenas tan preciosas. La de golosinas, me encanta. Que gozada poder verlas todas en una exposición. Un abrazo.
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful to see them.
DeleteThank you for these lovely photos - there just didn't seem to be enough time to take everything in and look for things to buy, so some of these I am seeing for the first time through your photos! It's great to get another opportunity for a virtual visit to the fair :-)
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your purchases - and another time, I hope we can meet up there!
Hi Rebecca,
DeleteI also missed looking at several thing too. Did you go on both days or just one? I had wondered if there was different things available on each day. It would be great to meet up. We should organise it for 2015.
I went on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. I think mostly the same things were available both days, but as people sold things, they put out more. At one stand I bought magazines from on Saturday, I asked if they had more - yes, and they were keeping them for Sunday. The Mountain Miniatures stand brought out a tub of vintage furniture on Sunday morning, intending to fill gaps after sales on Saturday, but Anna-Maria bought the lot, so I guess they had to find something else to fill the gaps! And the one stand that had vintage pieces out from the beginning brought a few more out over Saturday.
DeleteYes, we should organise to meet up! I think Anna-Maria and Norma talked about that too - a bloggers' meet-up - but just meeting individually in person would be good!
Definitely we should all meet up. It would be great to meet all the people that I follow online.
DeleteThanks for sharing your pictures of the fair; it must have been a real inspiration for you to be there. Hope to see your purchases soon :D
ReplyDeletePeople have such good ideas. I have come home with a few little ideas to try out.
DeleteThank you for sharing these lovely pictures, it must have been great to see all these miniature treasures :D! Looking forward to seeing your purchases.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Ilona
The pictures are great aren't they. I just wished I had more time to take photos of all of the displays.
Deleteuh oh..you did get mini-itus..I knew it..I shall be watching for future posts so I can see all the goodies you got :)
ReplyDeleteHugs

Marisa, mini-itus is incredibly contagious! I saw lots of people going home with new kits. Luckily I stayed well away from the house stall.
DeleteGracias por ese bonito reportaje
