The Biggest Tiny Motor Show 2024 Exhebition

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are well and have enjoyed your weekend. I can't believe that it's been a week since my dolls house No. 44 Mornington was exhibited during The Biggest Tiny Motor Show 2024.


The Biggest Tiny Motor Show is organised by the Die Cast & Scale Model Society in Malta.


The exhibits are mostly motor models but the organiser Mr. Alan Saliba invited me as a special guest to exhibit any of my dollshouses. 



I was honoured to be invited and quite proud to have one of my dollshouses there.






At the end I was presented with a token plaque for participating in the show. 


I met with so many wonderful People during the show. From here I would like to thank Mr. Alan Saliba and his team for a well organised exhibition and for welcoming me as one of their own. 

This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the next update and latest news. I am sure I will pop by before Christmas. 

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,

Noelle's Bedroom is Complete

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all well. Finally I can start breathing again. All commitments have been completed and dusted with success. All Christmas shopping is done. I totally love this time of year and I just can't believe that Christmas is almost here. Now I can relax and take it easy, while I enjoy working on my stuff for a change.

It took me a few days to decorate Noelle's Bedroom in Holly's Christmas Shoppe.


Considering that the attic room is quite small with slanting roofs on both sides, not a lot of furniture can fit in.

I designed and scratched built a small bed for Noelle as most of the single beds were too big for the space.


Once the bed was ready, I added some touches with the bedding and I totally loved how it turned out.


I added a few small pieces to the room and a wall light to make it look more cosy.



The opening front had enough space to add a few more toys, a table and the little armchair. 



I think on the whole it looks quite nice now. I might add a few more accessories eventually here and there.


I am very pleased with how it turned out. I hope you'll like it too.

This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and latest news.

Take care and see you soon.


Hugs,

Book Launch at My Miniature World in Malta!

 Hello everyone,

How are you? I hope you are well and that you had a great weekend. It has been a week since I came back from the Kensington Dollshouse Show in London and it has been a very busy week since then. During last weekend I had my final launch of my book at My Miniature World Museum here in Malta.

I guess

It was quite a busy weekend where visitors could get a signed copy of the book a enjoy the dolls house collection.



I was very pleased that during the book launch the Mayor of Marsaskala Mr. Mario Calleja and Councilor for Arts and Culture Mrs. Beverly Saliba visited the museum.





My dear aunty also visited which played a big part in my childhood and in my education. 


My sweet Penny never left my side. Penny was my constant companion and support while I wrote the book and built No 44, Mornington House. She never left my side so a big thank you goes to her. 


A big thank you also goes to my family. The book wouldn't have been possible without them. Everyone of them played a big part in encouraging and supporting me in the way they know best. 



I want to thank everyone whom came and got a copy of the book. Here are some photos during the launch. 






And that is a wrap. What an amazing journey it has been. Now i can focus on continuing with my Christmas project. Hopefully it will be done by Christmas. I am already preparing to start my big project. St. George's Hill. It's going to be the largest dolls house that I would be building to date. 

This weekend I will be also having my No 44. Mornington House being displayed at The Biggest Little Motor Show in Malta. I was invited as a guest participant from the Die Cast & Scale Model Society. 

This is all for today. Make sure to keep posted for the latest news and updates. 

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,

Book Launch at the Kensington Dollshouse Festival - Christmas Show.

 Hello Everyone,

I can't believe that it has almost been a week since the Book launch of my book 'Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls' House' at the Kensington Dolls House Festival Christmas Show in London.


Friday was an important day. I stated off by visiting Windsor Castle to see Queen Mary's Dolls House decorated for the very first time for Christmas. I was an experience that I couldn't miss. The castle itself was magical decorated with beautiful Christmas trees and ornaments. Queen Mary's Dollshouse had this special Christmas tree and garlands in the hallway.



A few souvenirs that I got from Windsor Castle during this visit.


Gilbert and I spent our evening at Kensington Town Hall to prepare for the following day. Apart from the book launch, miniatures were also available. 


The room box is a replica of the parlour in No 44, Mornington House which a photo of it made it also on the cover of the book. It  was displayed during the show. Considering that it was the Christmas Show, it was decorated for the festive season. 


The stand was all done with books and miniatures. 








As the London Dollshouse Festivals are celebrating their Ruby Anniversary the exhibitors had to decorate their stands and dress up in red. 


 It was a fantastic show. I got to meet so many people and made new friends. By the end of the show all the books have sold out which was pretty amazing. 


Special or not the room box was a big hit were hundreds of people enjoyed and admired it's charm and warmth in such a compact space.
 

I managed to get a few miniatures from the show which I totally love.

For the 40th Anniversary the London Dollshouse Festivals made a special souvenir to mark the occasion. A mug with the logo. It definitely will be something to hold on to. Having my very first exhibition and book launch during the ruby anniversary of the Kensington DollsHouse Festival. 



Some Christmas ornaments from my dear friend Thomas Murray. 


A few 1:144 scale dolls house kits by Petite Properties.



Two tiny unpainted mice from ArtofMini. 


And a lovely personalized signed doll by the amazing Spanish Ma victoria Heredia Guerbos.



And finally before the show even started I found this beautiful Dolls House Emporium Kit  called Jenny Wren's waiting for me near my stand which traveled all the way with me back to Malta. 



From here I want to thank Charlotte and the team for a well organized event. It was brilliant. Hopefully will be back in Kensington for May's Summer Show. 

This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and latest news. This weakened I will be having the last launch here in Malta. It has definitely been one fantastic journey. 

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,
