| My Mum purchased this for me for my Hallway. Thanks Mum. |
Hello Everybody,
As promised I thought I would share with you my purchases from the fair. As I am working towards furnishing my Victorian Dollhouse I purchased with that in mind. If it wasn't from this era (or as close as I could get to this era) I wasn't buying it.
However for anyone with a vintage or modern dollhouse the Sydney fair has plenty for you too. I have to admit, it has made me think…is one dollhouse enough? I'd really like to get a vintage Triang 1930's/40's and a modern dollhouse to add to my collection. Ahh the possibilities!
Anyway to the purchases:
 |
| It's a pencil sharpener. But with a bit of paint and some records it will be perfect |
 |
| A Phoenix Miniature (old stock?) Mangle for the laundry. |
 |
| Parts of the white-metal kit….lots of gluing and painting ahead. |
 |
| Croquet Set for the children's room. |
 |
| A fresh fruit delivery. I will probably change the labels to vintage Australian ones. |
 |
| Silk prints. |
 |
| One of my favourite finds. A Lidi Stroud (Basketcase Miniatures) fishing creel. This has to be seen in person. The weaving is teeny tiny and FABULOUS! |
 |
| A closer shot of the Fishing Creel. |
 |
| Cruet Set |
 |
| Duelling Pistols. These will need a little case. So another DIY project is on my never ending list of DIY. |
 |
| I met the lovely Michelle from Michelle's Miniatures at the fair. Her books are magnificent! |
 |
| Another Phoenix Kit. Sewing Machine. |
 |
| Toys for the nursery. |
 |
| Handpainted by Margaret Crosswell. |

I like your beautiful purchases.
ReplyDeleteThe wheeled toys are very cute, and I love the Margaret Crosswell bird ornament!
ReplyDeleteI don't think one dolls house is enough, no - but I have to warn you that once you get more than one, it's a slippery slope to another, and another, and ..... I mean, if you just get a 1930s/40s house, and a modern one, what about the 50s/60s/70s? ;-)
Oh! Has hecho unas compras magníficas. Son pequeños tesoros. Y ahora tienes trabajo por delante.
ReplyDeleteMe alegro por ti.
