The Toll House makes it in print on the American Miniaturist

Hello my dear friends,

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. At the moment we are going through quite a heat wave. I have been working on Miss Leah's new home and it is almost complete. I have also been working on more miniatures and books.  Today I will be sharing with you something different; the publishing of My Toll House.

The Toll House
Before I wanted to share with you that My Miniature World Shop at etsy now has over 200 miniatures available for sale. There is quite a variety from hand painted miniatures, ceramics, books both in kit and download format, polymer clay miniatures and other accessories for most of your dolls house rooms. 

On My Miniature World face book page we have reached over 3,500 likes.  I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement. Without you fans and followers this would never be. To show my appreciation I will be giving away one of my latest new miniatures which has been quite a hit. This will be exclusive for our blog followers. 

FREE GIVE AWAY - Ceramic miniature platter dish
 All you have to do for this free give away is:
  • BE A FOLLOWER OF MY MINIATURE WORLD BLOG. 
  • COMMENT ON THIS POST ENTRY (so I would know who wants to participate)
It is simple as that. Just follow these two rules.  Closing date: 14/08/2015 The winner will be announced the next day Saturday 15/08/2015. So good luck.

It has been a year since I completed the renovation of the Toll House. Time does fly by. I am very proud to say that The Toll House has been published on this September's issue of the American Miniaturist Magazine.

September Issue
The Toll House has got a five page article and with lots of pictures about it's renovation and details.
You can read the article on this link: A Miniature Renovation

The Toll House Article
A few months ago I was contacted from the editor to contribute to their magazine by writing an article about the renovations of The Toll House. I was so happy that I was asked and now I am so proud to see it in print. I am not the type to give a lot of credit to myself as I always tell myself it could get better, but to see it in a magazine makes me feel braver and that I should accept that I am good at what I love to make. The Toll House was definitely worth the change. Now if I had to make another renovation I will definitely do it without thinking twice. I still remember how scared I was at first. 

Here are some new pictures of it.

The Oven

The Living area

The secret passage behind the book case

the Safe with money



The Bed room




The Toll House has also a small movie of how it looked before the renovations and afterwards.


So this is all for today folks. Keep tuned for more updates on Miss Leah's house.

Take Care and see you real soon.

Hugs,

Rebecca xxx

    What an inspiration and labour of love. I have had to wait 66 to have a dollshouse of my own and am now fully absorbed in making things and adding to it every day. Of course having your work in it would be just wonderful.
