Yes, I know I said I wasn’t going to do minis any more. But this is NOT a mini scene, it’s an assemblage of items that happens to include some minis. And it’s all from stash, including the container made from two cardboard boxes.
for instance, this is not a mini; a vintage pin cushion made from a china elephant. Plus 2 ordinary thimbles to fill in the space. I don’t use thimbles, why do I own 7 of them?
A RL scale cloisonne thimble and tiny matching casket.
Okay, this one IS a scale mini, a beautifully rendered treadle sewing machine that actually moves! My niece got it for me in some foreign country 20 years ago, and I finally used it somewhere!
Also a dollhouse mini, from a kit by Chrisnbon. I covered the torso with fabric printed with text, and made the tape measure from a strip of paper.
The sewing machine card was made for me by a friend.
A vintage needle packet
A thimble I’ve had since I was in grade school
Stork scissors. Got them used, they don’t work well at all but are so adorable!
I debated a white vs yellow tape measure, and decided on the yellow. It took over everything, so it got replaced by the white, which was a bit boring, so I added the silver tacks to relate to the silver on the machine.
