taking all factors into account, I have greatly downsized the selling sections
on the website. You will find all original room pages, garden, doll and
restoration pages have been replaced by one simple <a href="https://ktminiatures.com/general/">Antique & Vintage</a> page.
The new search categories are based on the old page names, and I will be
focussing more on special or unusual dolls house miniatures, some multiple
furniture sets and even the occasional KT Miniatures handmade item.</span></b><span style="color: #403f42;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

monthly fair a few months ago and have so enjoyed the face to face dealings
with customers, that this is now an integral part of KT Miniatures. I had a
fabulous surprise last month as a lovely Canadian lady on vacation in the UK
who has been a customer for a long time, stopped by to make some purchases. <i>(It
was fab to meet you after all this time Debbie)!</i> The next fair is on Sunday
26th November. Full details on how to get there, plus the new dates for 2024

It felt so good to be back creating once again in a classroom environment! The setting of the small barn at Thame Barns Centre (Oxfordshire) was just lovely, so I am planning on running all future workshops from there if possible. My old mate Robin Britton, who is now long retired but who used to be a professional dollmaker and workshop colleague, dropped by during the day which was nice. </span></i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSVl45Oh9RbL4JP0ohZPgrWWlPUId9LzDAbzfSRJ4fUhIvSRfHZSCW6xzC0ldme1D1ZVJ1sXSm9vHVXy52_z3uoBZ-WUHDhwg3nGAK8GEO2_Tvnex8tCsL5G-m8ckXYUUJXuD2qTrQaAKq_oOsCZW6cp0a6b6Nn51y5TWtyuVyolSOHrmb6Ip88sW71U/s800/KT%20Miniatures%20Workshop%202.jpg" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSVl45Oh9RbL4JP0ohZPgrWWlPUId9LzDAbzfSRJ4fUhIvSRfHZSCW6xzC0ldme1D1ZVJ1sXSm9vHVXy52_z3uoBZ-WUHDhwg3nGAK8GEO2_Tvnex8tCsL5G-m8ckXYUUJXuD2qTrQaAKq_oOsCZW6cp0a6b6Nn51y5TWtyuVyolSOHrmb6Ip88sW71U/w400-h300/KT%20Miniatures%20Workshop%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was a hot and humid day, so windows and doors were thrown open until the intermittent thunderstorms meant that we had to close them every so often. But everyone beavered away regardless, amidst some friendly banter and some rather fascinating conversations:) As always, I encouraged everyone to work at their own pace because they were all of different abilities. What is really lovely and which I had often previously found, is that some of the more experienced crafters are genuinely encouraging and helpful to those that are not so experienced. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRQ1B05yoNsTiyACZkLqFODX3nxx3g2IXRlGSXa9vNfVBHTwxXQ6iz7-2atSRY-da7xKr0-qaZOuKmQOuXHNZCzqoyOwqWKnNGqKkv-oOIiFmDQL9mtKzck5OPE3thRmIbJKnQ6TUzwHffFlqoCRrBelS63NqoxJlhtiCHqP4mjrRZets4gQpiDLGgvvM/s800/KT%20Miniatures%20Workshop%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="507" data-original-width="800" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRQ1B05yoNsTiyACZkLqFODX3nxx3g2IXRlGSXa9vNfVBHTwxXQ6iz7-2atSRY-da7xKr0-qaZOuKmQOuXHNZCzqoyOwqWKnNGqKkv-oOIiFmDQL9mtKzck5OPE3thRmIbJKnQ6TUzwHffFlqoCRrBelS63NqoxJlhtiCHqP4mjrRZets4gQpiDLGgvvM/w400-h254/KT%20Miniatures%20Workshop%203.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is difficult to gauge how far we would all get in the project, but my suggestion to everyone was to try and get the main walls constructed by the end of the morning, so that in the afternoon they could embark on some of the more interesting elements.

listed for the last three weeks at least. Not only have I been laid low with a beast of a bug since the beginning of June, I also had a split water tank up in loft,
so water leaking through the light fitting on my landing, directly above my brand new kitchen...scary!!! However, it has all now been
mended and hopefully so am I, so life is a little calmer…(I will say it quietly as I don’t want to
tempt providence).</b></i></p>

pleased to say that I will be having a stand once again, at this month’s
Haddenham Antique & Vintage Fair which is taking place this <u>Sunday 25<sup>th</sup>

Plus as always, there will be a couple of the popular rummaging boxes at the side of the stand for you to pick up a bargain! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj19KuAPB2n9uy1aChobBDq0VDgNHcanbQAnjkPJxLGdgX5A-tmfUMGk3RbIaekt2oHVEmuAj3sHiRTlh_2l0UmyozXFQO-_91P2oaesQWQdLgUqJva56qhAhTZQAo8hCxCpVhVcMoFuhScMu9bkiISzSpEE-gwE4SU-E42fspoaRTJvrhNmzHN-sN6/s1000/Haddenham%20A&V%20Fair%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="796" data-original-width="1000" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj19KuAPB2n9uy1aChobBDq0VDgNHcanbQAnjkPJxLGdgX5A-tmfUMGk3RbIaekt2oHVEmuAj3sHiRTlh_2l0UmyozXFQO-_91P2oaesQWQdLgUqJva56qhAhTZQAo8hCxCpVhVcMoFuhScMu9bkiISzSpEE-gwE4SU-E42fspoaRTJvrhNmzHN-sN6/w400-h319/Haddenham%20A&V%20Fair%201.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A real mixture of vintage and antique dolls house furniture and accessories.</td></tr></tbody></table></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Please note that I will not have the facility to accept card payment at the fair, so all transactions will have to be by cash only...sorry. <i>I understand that there is a handy ATM over the road within the row of shops.</i> </span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8-WAIBT3diFFW3IpI_DjI7a4tB_oEuj1HicH3X6-pFNF2goehoBPcM-Wgt14SuAwTqzzcNhVsLAYvznWNFrNXTBfisvKGq-4evSfG0inISj_5XOAUnD8YgPIUS2j2Xwiie2gs57GQJXPqshQ0dnF6E1OB9_nH9VTV9YmrFIstSpkvIjm3uc3uQ91g/s4170/1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4170" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8-WAIBT3diFFW3IpI_DjI7a4tB_oEuj1HicH3X6-pFNF2goehoBPcM-Wgt14SuAwTqzzcNhVsLAYvznWNFrNXTBfisvKGq-4evSfG0inISj_5XOAUnD8YgPIUS2j2Xwiie2gs57GQJXPqshQ0dnF6E1OB9_nH9VTV9YmrFIstSpkvIjm3uc3uQ91g/w400-h331/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Old Potting Shed Workshop Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also on display will be the Old Potting Shed workshop prototype, so if you are booked onto the workshop or still pondering whether to sign up, do feel free to come and take a peek, plus it will give me an opportunity to discuss any queries you may have with regards to the project.

It tells us a brief story about Frank Whittington and his "Forest Toys" which he set up after the first World War. The toys were all hand carved and painted by Frank and his team of employees. His workshop/small factory was based in Brockenhurst, a large village set within the New Forest in Hampshire, UK. I found this video absolutely fascinating, so I decided to share it with you. If you watch carefully, you will be able to see some of these little dogs amongst the whole array of animals and figures.

Hope to see you Sunday!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Celia</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://ktminiatures.com">ktminiatures.com</a></span></p>KT Miniatureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16866871887340073270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708002367015674646.post-33696942308223862582023-04-02T21:46:00.000+01:002023-04-02T21:46:57.844+01:00The Old Potting Shed Workshop<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i> I am delighted to announce that at last the postponed KT Miniatures' Old Potting Shed Workshop has a new date and new venue!</i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Old Miniature Potting Shed Workshop @ £145.00</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Saturday 8th July 9.30am - 4.30 pm</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thame Barns Centre, </b><b>Church Road, </b><b>Thame, </b><b>Oxfordshire.</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>OX9 3AJ</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP8orx6OBUd_RVMt1-fifV6tjZSHIODb_kwFGMrxIyjxd1fBgEMYp9VbPLjDcmlG0Et45itX9rb3haAUASpR0Iv4otMfxyU2l6MWvR6_hkrgyjlqvrHPRKTA0X0W6ENfJeHPN06EfJfYXDn9Xw4Vr6L1mnP5J-rCA9RBzxtdplqHectd2t3H8wnJ3y/s4170/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4170" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP8orx6OBUd_RVMt1-fifV6tjZSHIODb_kwFGMrxIyjxd1fBgEMYp9VbPLjDcmlG0Et45itX9rb3haAUASpR0Iv4otMfxyU2l6MWvR6_hkrgyjlqvrHPRKTA0X0W6ENfJeHPN06EfJfYXDn9Xw4Vr6L1mnP5J-rCA9RBzxtdplqHectd2t3H8wnJ3y/w400-h331/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Followers of KT Miniatures will know that originally this workshop was due to take place in 2020 at Denman College, but then Covid came along, and then the sad permanent closure of the college. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, all is now ready to get going again at a new Oxfordshire venue.

I would often wake up seeing the curtains frozen to my bedroom window. My kids who have been brought up in central heated houses, think that this is hilarious!! </i></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u>A Couple Of Old Fire Accessories</u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG_klo-2L_kbQWogSfaPxSH3z0vu-4hNfvDE5fRR4h0XQVy6s817tcLkI-TeuiFb_VGfuEk0G-tx8_l0vtGKBq1lng-1EHd5skfIJqmfxdP0Bkosg-xxlXd4g9mk1rImO3N3N37TxwS8uahdagXOhaIzr-nlnFwpDKZRJplAcLc_WJmNuOET3EjDCj/s600/Brass-Antique-Fender.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="252" data-original-width="600" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG_klo-2L_kbQWogSfaPxSH3z0vu-4hNfvDE5fRR4h0XQVy6s817tcLkI-TeuiFb_VGfuEk0G-tx8_l0vtGKBq1lng-1EHd5skfIJqmfxdP0Bkosg-xxlXd4g9mk1rImO3N3N37TxwS8uahdagXOhaIzr-nlnFwpDKZRJplAcLc_WJmNuOET3EjDCj/w400-h168/Brass-Antique-Fender.gif" width="400" /></a></b></div><b><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>This old fender is of solid brass and is rather decorative along the top. </b></div></b><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_-fSL_2Bfpi4AXMqkHvFOUiUX9oE7yVwVcLSTaaHl50sPuiEvLoCOgwMwJWwH8F1AiCrRJQ9wJ_xPgRatOZX6UCcBfy0HTyrPcVFlatSRqCs3kHsmIeU_ZTGlDK3MRkmfhf8P_hkc7xXR4niSYwFuEP4zLK_Qn90xcHHjxMEMyPNf8SDiB99JsCdJ/s568/Brass-Antique-Fender3.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="568" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_-fSL_2Bfpi4AXMqkHvFOUiUX9oE7yVwVcLSTaaHl50sPuiEvLoCOgwMwJWwH8F1AiCrRJQ9wJ_xPgRatOZX6UCcBfy0HTyrPcVFlatSRqCs3kHsmIeU_ZTGlDK3MRkmfhf8P_hkc7xXR4niSYwFuEP4zLK_Qn90xcHHjxMEMyPNf8SDiB99JsCdJ/w400-h281/Brass-Antique-Fender3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b>It is quite compact in size, measuring just 3 1/4" in length and is actually in a relatively good played with condition which is nice. <i>(Often these old brass fenders are seen discoloured or badly mottled). </i></b></div></b><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9caz5Ojyluf2oQKuQr1t6N7itxjldp5LzJUwJrbRXnlCiKnx2EZkQ8RNG4vRhR3Dvwm8NmK23XnvkpT1DVR7qhwIslrO_qD8n9Txg-plmsys-Zc-R9WCf7fo8Dirhm98nyMoSfwQ3CheOroiyu0QMVhn72EU6nHlgzWpkTwa_VQXSTve91scWcLdR/s400/T&B-Metal-Coal-Box.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="345" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9caz5Ojyluf2oQKuQr1t6N7itxjldp5LzJUwJrbRXnlCiKnx2EZkQ8RNG4vRhR3Dvwm8NmK23XnvkpT1DVR7qhwIslrO_qD8n9Txg-plmsys-Zc-R9WCf7fo8Dirhm98nyMoSfwQ3CheOroiyu0QMVhn72EU6nHlgzWpkTwa_VQXSTve91scWcLdR/w345-h400/T&B-Metal-Coal-Box.gif" width="345" /></a></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b>And finally, here is a 1930s Taylor and Barrett metal coal box. </b></div></b><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-xz-ISRlookp_K06zXIATXRObvLlpcPGVvQIz02buZ5mrt4davTgKhRzUsX-g0W2mfICuHc8PWWYd5HMIgWjvc1XePq0JcaS_MA6VRQbR9ivvb7-RlZaeAF7QlQDF7YP5C1_N3DJW5nLecHi6Q4GCa7sJIkzKruKCtcd4GXwICTmf0c_4ntidFBq/s600/T&B-Metal-Coal-Box.3.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="600" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_-xz-ISRlookp_K06zXIATXRObvLlpcPGVvQIz02buZ5mrt4davTgKhRzUsX-g0W2mfICuHc8PWWYd5HMIgWjvc1XePq0JcaS_MA6VRQbR9ivvb7-RlZaeAF7QlQDF7YP5C1_N3DJW5nLecHi6Q4GCa7sJIkzKruKCtcd4GXwICTmf0c_4ntidFBq/w400-h256/T&B-Metal-Coal-Box.3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The small lid is removable, so needless to say, there are many of these tiny coal boxes out there missing either the lid or the bottom half!

It had to be "very pink and lacey"… and oh what fun I had with it, as it was a million miles away from my norm (and my comfort zone)! It was to be a 1/12<sup>th</sup> scale
sitting room with specific items based on the recipient’s own special possessions and
likes, including her love of reading so a bookcase (she is a big Jane Austen
fan), a “pink cuddle armchair”, mirror, Ginny (her Cavalier King Charles spaniel)
, her favourite plant (aglaonema), a Nursing Times (she is a nurse), a teapot & mug (as she
is a big tea drinker), plus replicas of
two of her precious family pictures.

that I had tucked away in my old workroom, it was left over from a past project. Old clocks are ideal if one is looking for something small and
unobtrusive to make a simple room scene in. The glass clock face had not been in great condition and was long gone, but the
back of the clock had the most wonderful miniature door, as is often the case.
Hence the original back of the clock was now the front! The downside was that the exterior was quite marked, but I was confident I could restore it up to a point. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgSq7sTCcvboY0HDELsvOvpTLS_V3ZAIWFLuz9Zh8maU7HaXMURS1-tg5X1RUycvZo8aUTv0F247hxbraUoFsHV5QrcDywZLaT5o3cVgioWXocf5-D7IhiHVOGle0ze3nYx60FwdHHM3J2uSLTLcY8UAp-snpFdsfyUzOgyolwe8Lj44czMKZ9iDLZu=s3024" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3022" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgSq7sTCcvboY0HDELsvOvpTLS_V3ZAIWFLuz9Zh8maU7HaXMURS1-tg5X1RUycvZo8aUTv0F247hxbraUoFsHV5QrcDywZLaT5o3cVgioWXocf5-D7IhiHVOGle0ze3nYx60FwdHHM3J2uSLTLcY8UAp-snpFdsfyUzOgyolwe8Lj44czMKZ9iDLZu=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The glass had already been removed and the back reinforced with thick cardboard, covered in felt and edged with cord - a technique I have used umpteen times before. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEht65l0euhQlsFdJWkKTJOvhKZEJ30IJ1eZaSZoiBryFHU87Djiaa3nVEPq0RWgdedvIedgUcWiqRpFvBL8XmkYvTv5Ne171nUZyPd-moEavaY6_hq2R5_ix7FjJqCrqtMj3uHOgcLTyY5kRCt6_Arq1tOWbHs2lepr2jmTj3iFefTdOBvybLUdh0sQ=s3862" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3862" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEht65l0euhQlsFdJWkKTJOvhKZEJ30IJ1eZaSZoiBryFHU87Djiaa3nVEPq0RWgdedvIedgUcWiqRpFvBL8XmkYvTv5Ne171nUZyPd-moEavaY6_hq2R5_ix7FjJqCrqtMj3uHOgcLTyY5kRCt6_Arq1tOWbHs2lepr2jmTj3iFefTdOBvybLUdh0sQ=w400-h314" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The hole inside was filled with a round piece of thick cardboard, and interior ceiling/walls painted a flesh shade of pink. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgW1Be9zwo2Z9nwCCPQnqiHZIAyqYaQ-YMRbMxrGmnbQbwENMeeTDRzZVPezURhUbmZc6RA1pccsZlncblYUr1CFgls8Ff0hbQ_JUq9PbF-54AHa7lodWW3E1QGCyEkEoB3qw0hQu49FkLj7ucaKq6mfX4Y-Ym8UR39RGAGIPhE-LvEs1RMn_xaN6ET=s3935" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2752" data-original-width="3935" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgW1Be9zwo2Z9nwCCPQnqiHZIAyqYaQ-YMRbMxrGmnbQbwENMeeTDRzZVPezURhUbmZc6RA1pccsZlncblYUr1CFgls8Ff0hbQ_JUq9PbF-54AHa7lodWW3E1QGCyEkEoB3qw0hQu49FkLj7ucaKq6mfX4Y-Ym8UR39RGAGIPhE-LvEs1RMn_xaN6ET=w400-h280" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I spotted some lovely funky pinkish craft paper in an art shop which was perfect.

<p align="center" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #606d78; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Fab news...the December issue
of Dolls Houses Past & Present magazine is now up and available for all to
view freely!</i></span></span></b></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #606d78; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is wonderfully presented,
literally crammed with a diverse range of topics, all related to miniatures and
dolls houses in some way. Included on page 4 is the first part of my <i>Story
Of Bertha & Ralph Wright Plus Their Miniatures Revealed</i>. Although the
article of two parts has been featured on KT Miniatures Journal and archive for
a while now, the editor Zoe Handy asked if it could be featured in their
magazine too. It seemed apt for it to be so, as it was through my first article
on Bertha & Ralph for DHP&P magazine back in 2016 that led to this
second article. So if you have a moment (or two) please do click on the
following link and enjoy reading all 16 pages of the magazine: </span></b><span style="color: #606d78; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #428bca; text-decoration: none;"><a href="https://www.dollshousespastandpresent.co.uk/Magazine/Issue-34-December-2021">https://www.dollshousespastandpresent.co.uk/Magazine/Issue-34-December-2021</a></span></b></span></span></p>

this opportunity to thank you for your custom and friendship throughout this

</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>The Dolls Houses Past & Present online magazine is back!</i><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>From its conception in 2009 it appeared regularly as a quarterly, its first editor being Wendy Gater, the second editor Anna-Maria, and then Australian editor Rebecca Green who took over in 2011.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The magazine (as well as the website) quickly gained a wonderful reputation and became highly regarded in the world of miniatures and dolls houses, with every
new issue eagerly awaited. Sadly since 2016, issues dwindled down to about once
a year for various reasons, including major technical problems with the old
website, resulting in a mammoth fundraising effort to raise funds for a brand-new website…with volunteers helping to shift thousands of files of archive photos over from the old website to the new. This all has taken time, but the result is quite remarkable seeing as the website is non profit making and run purely by volunteers. </b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rebecca has taken
a step back from the website due to health reasons, therefore, it is brilliant news to hear that admin. member Zoe Handy, has kindly volunteered to take over the role of editor
and bring the magazine back as a quarterly publication once again.</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P2q2CFd29FQ/YTxZ7B3JakI/AAAAAAAAM70/JwpKorYyvSsAxt6L9SYgFmtIkGDSZ7jXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1062/DHP%2526P%2BSept%2BIssue.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="803" data-original-width="1062" height="303" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P2q2CFd29FQ/YTxZ7B3JakI/AAAAAAAAM70/JwpKorYyvSsAxt6L9SYgFmtIkGDSZ7jXQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h303/DHP%2526P%2BSept%2BIssue.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p>

I am slowly working through my inbox this morning to contact those of you who have been waiting patiently. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">In my naivety of being double vaccinated, I assumed that if I caught Covid it would be just a mild infection....but how wrong I was! It seems that it is the Delta variant I caught and it is a real nasty thing. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">I still have no sense of smell, a weird change in sense of taste, and am left with a hacking cough which I cannot shake off. But at least the fevers and breathlessness have now ceased, it was quite scary. I am very thankful that I have been double jabbed because otherwise I would have been in big trouble. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">So please be careful out there and still take precautions, just because you are double jabbed does not mean that you will not get Covid...and although you may not end up in hospital it is still a horrible thing to have. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Celia</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://ktminiatures.com/">KT Miniatures</a></span></p>KT Miniatureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16866871887340073270noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708002367015674646.post-67194046126183276772021-07-20T07:45:00.002+01:002021-07-20T07:55:30.232+01:00KT MINIATURES CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Unfortunately I have had to close due to Covid illness.</span> </h2><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As from today I am closed for business for at least 10 days.</span></h2><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Apologies for the delay in any outstanding orders, I will give them priority as soon as I am able to do so. <br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Celia<br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">KT Miniatures</span></h2>KT Miniatureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16866871887340073270noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708002367015674646.post-62156954206583336322021-06-30T10:39:00.000+01:002021-06-30T10:39:01.023+01:00c1930s Wagner & Son Stable, Antique Horses On Wheels Plus A Rare Britains' Tin Pond<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Some very different kind of miniatures went up for sale on KT Miniatures recently. </i></span></b></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WE33HbXnSkk/YMu_6PlQxRI/AAAAAAAAM2k/FE5481f8WYQXl91bFfGvcqJGB6OaFsWZQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1470" data-original-width="2048" height="288" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WE33HbXnSkk/YMu_6PlQxRI/AAAAAAAAM2k/FE5481f8WYQXl91bFfGvcqJGB6OaFsWZQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h288/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">A lot were sold as soon as they went up for sale on the website, but nevertheless, I thought I would feature these on here anyway as they are quite unusual.

larger opening door with window (missing metal tack handle) and a smaller
opening door that has the original metal tack handle. The painted stencil design around the doors is
like the painted finish on some of the Wagner dolls houses of the same period. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The building measures 21 ¾” wide x 7 ½” deep x 15 ¾” high.</span></div></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qlkrdiEnHp4/YNNoLhHJUSI/AAAAAAAAM3A/9jlhB3GMO00PUWGOJxh_BW_cFz7MCi3KwCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Wagner-%2526-Son-Stable-Plus-Figures8.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="261" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qlkrdiEnHp4/YNNoLhHJUSI/AAAAAAAAM3A/9jlhB3GMO00PUWGOJxh_BW_cFz7MCi3KwCLcBGAsYHQ/w261-h400/Wagner-%2526-Son-Stable-Plus-Figures8.gif" width="261" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">On
