On Sunday, we traveled to my parents house to celebrate my nephew and father's birthday.
Happy Birthday, Dad!
Happy Birthday, Carson!
Anyways, my mother had her Valentine decorations out and I snapped several different pictures of this amazing miniature house she made from a heart candy box.
If you look closely through the window, you will see a tiny table with a tiny lamp and a tiny grandfather clock.
Even the little shutters have tiny little hearts cut into them.
Here's a side view.
My mother belongs to a miniature group where they get together every so often to work on special miniature projects. This was a project she did several years ago. You can find more information on this house, including a tutorial on this blog.
As you can imagine, I'm totally smitten with this tiny heart-shaped house. In case you are interested, the kit is $13.50 and can be found here.
Speaking of Valentine dollhouses, when my latest purchase from Magpie Ethel arrived earlier last week, I decided to add a few more Valentine treasures to my keystone dollhouse. Isn't she precious?
My Christmas garland and miniature Christmas wreaths are permanently attached to the picket fencing outside of my keystone dollhouse, so I got a little creative with my roses and hearts.
Happy playing!!
Happy Valentines!
I guess we know where you get your crafting love from. That mini house is adorable. Love that you can look in her windows.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness... that little heart house is adorable! I have to hop over and look at the kits and the tutorial. My doll house will now have to be forever christmas because I glued all those garlands and the snow into place.. but the other house could be decorated by seasons or holidays I suppose instead of making it into a halloween house! I love your keystone house. I need to keep my eyes open for one like that.
ReplyDeletehave a great day!

That little house is so adorable and so is yours! I can see where you get the creative genes from! :)
ReplyDeleteLove all that you do! Love, Maggie/Maggie's Lil' Fixins

That heart shaped peep box is amazing. And your doll house is adorable. So many of us think we'd do this or that if we only had time but the key is to make time to make your life more lovely and that's what YOU do.
ReplyDeleteAdorable pink and white polka dotted miniature valentine house. I certainly now know where some of your miniature interest comes from! Celebrating family birthdays is such fun!
ReplyDeleteThe little heart box is so charming - and I can just see it done up M.E. style. I love your dolly, too - and it's just one more thing I "want". OH NO! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I am smitten with that little heart. I see where your creativeness comes from. Love the dolly outside your house. I'm off to check out the little heart house.
ReplyDeleteLike Mother, like daughter! I love to look at miniatures, but probably lack the patience for such work.
