Looks like everything arrived intact (whew)! I was not looking forward to decorating a box for this swap until I figured out I could do it ‘my way’ and set a tiny tea party. The little miniature Frida pot was fun and I’ve always wanted to make a little vintage sewing side table so thanks for the inspiration!

I received from @Fonduie and wow! She & I are both a little unsure about this swap but she knocked it out of the park!

First greeted by a rainbow of tissue.

Butterfly cross stitch

And the box!!

And the whimsies!

Charms a’plenty

I have an Airstream-like dollhouse, made by my bestie in TX, and it is my dream craft room. Shannon came up with lots items to add to the room.

But wait! There’s more!

Booze and perfume bottles - so tiny!

Books with blank pages

Gardening equipment

And a lamp - made from a toothpaste cap?

I’ll be playing in my dollhouse for the next few hours. It needs dusting but then I’ll add in all of these fun things.

Thank you so much Shannon! I’m a happy camper!

I may have spent more time staining, finding hardware and wood burning the the box than I did on the miniatures. Oh well! The queen bee on your Pinterest inspired the box top. It was fun cross stitching the butterfly too. I wasn’t 100% sure I was doing this swap right so I hope you like it!

Oh, man, I thought I was done! Now I gotta reconsider…which means going through the pile of goodies that I wanted to include, but didn’t fit in the box.

This gallery is amazing! Miniatures are my current obsession.
@madebyBeaG I remember seeing pix of your mega organised stash on deadster, it is still a wonder of organisation and possibilities

@MissingWillow that tea party box is brilliant, and the collection of whimsies inside just fascinating.

@Fonduie I adore that box, the wood burned bee is perfect, and your miniatures are really clever. Especially the lamp.
