Featured in Dolls House World UK – The Dutch Baby House Cabinet

Hello everyone,

How are you all? I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. I’m absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news with you all! My project, The Dutch Baby House Cabinet, has been featured in the latest issue of Dolls House World UK Magazine, Issue 385!

The article, titled “Victorian Parlour Where Tiny Worlds Come Alive,” beautifully showcases this elegant cabinet that forms the heart of The Victorian Miniature Parlour. It’s one of my proudest creations and a true showstopper that captures the magic of the Victorian era in miniature.

The Dutch Baby House Cabinet is filled with six intricate rooms, each telling its own little story from the refined main bedroom and the cosy study to the charming nursery and classic bathroom, all in the tiniest 1:144 scale. Every room is designed with precision, warmth, and that touch of nostalgia that makes miniatures so enchanting.

Creating this piece was a joy from start to finish. It combines my love for storytelling, artistry, and history, and it’s wonderful to see it recognised in such a respected magazine. I’m deeply honoured to be featured in Dolls House World , a publication that has long celebrated the passion and creativity behind the miniature world.

I’m also delighted to announce that there’s now a new miniature book inspired by The Victorian Miniature Parlour!  This little treasure captures the project’s essence in true miniature form which is a lovely keepsake for collectors and miniature enthusiasts. The book will be available soon from My Miniature World online shop.

Thank you all so much for your love and continued support. It means the world to me to be able to share these moments with you. Make sure to stay tuned for more exciting updates and upcoming projects!

Take Care and See You Soon.

The Victorian Miniature Parlour - Finally Complete!

 Hello everyone,

How are you all? I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I have been quite busy these past few weeks, but today I am over the moon to share something very special. The Victorian Miniature Parlour is finally complete!

This project has been my constant companion since January 2025, and after eight months of work, patience, and countless tiny details, I can proudly say it’s finished. Every piece, from the smallest dollhouse to the delicate furniture, carries a little story of its own.

The last few touches brought everything together beautifully. I finally added the staircase runner with the carpet rods, which instantly gave the room that elegant Victorian charm.

I also dressed the windows with curtains, hung the picture frames, and placed the open-and-close shop sign. 

And outside, I added my organ wagon, which I had made a couple of years ago, and it fitted perfectly with the overall scene.

I have to admit, the most challenging part was working on the tiny furniture inside the miniature dollhouses. The 1:144 and 1:48 scale pieces inside a 1:12 world! It truly tested my patience, but I enjoyed every second of it.

As for the story behind the shop, The Victorian Miniature Parlour belongs to Miss Julie Montague, a talented miniaturist and a proud protégé of Lady Adelaide, from my previous project The Miniaturist of Regent Street. Miss Julie always had a passion for dolls and a keen eye for detail, and her shop reflects that love perfectly. Within her parlour, she surrounds herself with her favourite dollhouses, tiny treasures, and exquisite creations.

The project now stands proudly at My Miniature World Museum, displayed near Holly’s Christmas Shoppe. Seeing it finally in place fills me with so much joy; a reminder of how far this project has come from a single idea to a fully realised miniature world.

Here are a few pictures and video of the complete project.

While The Victorian Miniature Parlour marks the end of a beautiful chapter, it’s also the beginning of new adventures. I’m now gearing up for a much bigger and more unique project, but in the meantime, I’ll be working on two smaller side projects; The Minikin and The Mouse House in The Sewing Room.

So this is all for today, my dear friends. I hope you love The Victorian Miniature Parlour as much as I do. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and latest news. There’s so much more to come!

Take Care and See You Soon.

The Pumpkin Cottage at The Victorian Miniature Parlour

 Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well. After sharing yesterday’s post about The Tiny Folly, today I am excited to introduce you to the final piece that has been added to The Victorian Miniature Parlour.

This special little house is called The Pumpkin Cottage, and it holds a very dear place in my heart. It is built in a charming Tudor style, with its rustic beams, textured walls, and quaint roofline. But what makes it even more enchanting is the little touch of magic in its design. The moment you see it, you feel as though it has stepped straight out of a fairy-tale. The kind of place where one might imagine meeting a wise old storyteller, or perhaps where Posy the Tiny Teddy Bear could pop in for an adventure!

Another detail that makes The Pumpkin Cottage so unique is the addition of an interior staircase;  something quite rare in 1:144 scale houses. This feature adds both realism and charm, making it feel like a true lived-in home despite its small size.

The cottage opens from the back, revealing its interior, and I have carefully decorated it with tiny furniture, accessories, and decorative touches. From little chairs to miniature tables, each piece has been chosen to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Though the rooms are small, they have their own character, and the staircase gives the illusion of a home full of stories and secrets.

I am so pleased with how this project has turned out, and I feel it makes a fitting final addition to The Victorian Miniature Parlour. To display it properly, I am considering placing it on a lazy Susan so that visitors can admire it from every angle; both the intricate Tudor exterior and the magical interior details.

Here are a few pictures and a short video of how it looks. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

This weekend, I will be away in Arnhem for the Dolls House Nederland Show, and I am truly looking forward to it. With 53 international exhibitors, it promises to be a wonderful weekend full of inspiration, creativity, and friendships. I cannot wait to share my miniatures and meet so many of you who are just as passionate about this hobby as I am.

That’s all for today, my friends. Stay tuned for more updates from Arnhem and beyond, and thank you, as always, for joining me on this miniature journey.

Take care and see you soon.

Hugs,

The Tiny Folly at The Victorian Miniature Parlour.

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well. I must start by apologising for not posting earlier. It has been quite a hectic few weeks! With the kids back at school and all the final preparations for the upcoming Dolls House Nederland Show in Arnhem next weekend, things have been really busy here at My Miniature World.

Nevertheless, I always try to find a little time to work on my ongoing project, The Victorian Miniature Parlour. It is almost complete but by now you know me, I can never resist adding just one more detail or miniature! Although this project is quite small, it has taken me much longer than expected, especially with all the delicate 1:144 scale miniatures that I wanted to include. Every tiny piece requires patience, but in the end, it’s these details that bring the scene to life.

One of my favourite recent additions is The Folly by Petite Properties, which I’ve affectionately named The Tiny Folly. I fell in love with its unusual shape and the matching little table. The kit also came with a staircase and even a sweet little under-stairs cupboard. Though the rooms are small, they were still large enough to decorate with floor paper, picture frames, carpets, and a few carefully chosen furniture pieces.

The lower room feels quite grand with a piano taking centre stage, creating the impression of a miniature music salon. The upper room is much cosier, with an armchair and a tiny desk! the perfect corner for reading or writing in peace.

Here are a few pictures and a short video of how it looks now in The Dollshouse Shop. I’m sure Julia is enjoying it as much as I do!

That’s all for today. I hope you liked this little peek into The Tiny Folly. Stay tuned for more updates and latest news  as I get closer to the Arnhem show, and of course for the finishing touches to The Victorian Miniature Parlour. Exciting times are just around the corner!

Take care and see you soon,

Bay Tree Manor – A New Addition to the Workshop

 Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. First, I must apologise for not posting sooner. The past weeks have been filled with work travels that kept me away from My Miniature World and working on miniatures. But I’m finally back at my workbench, and I’m very excited to share my latest project with you.

This time, it’s all about a charming new miniature house: Bay Tree Manor. I recently ordered two beautiful 1:144 scale kits from Petite Properties; the Bay Tree Manor and the Pumpkin Cottage. 

So far, I’ve completed Bay Tree Manor, and it now has pride of place in the workshop of The Victorian Miniature Parlour.

The build was an absolute joy, from painting its delicate details to adding its tiny charm. 

To make the scene even more special, I placed three adorable miniature dolls by Italian artist Claudia A. Taigete alongside it. They fit perfectly and bring the whole display to life.

I’m sharing photos and a video so you can see how Bay Tree Manor came together, along with a look at the completed workshop room.

At the same time, I’m busy preparing exciting new miniatures for the Dolls House Nederland Show in Arnhem, taking place on the 4th and 5th of October 2025. This show will be particularly special as it will mark the first anniversary of the launch of my book Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls House. I can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with fellow miniaturists and friends.

Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and latest news. 

Take care, and see you soon!
