Remember this posting on here a few weeks ago about a forthcoming dolls house event in Jersey?
( http://ktminiatures.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/a-dolls-house-exhibition-august-12th-in.html).
Well I am delighted to have been sent photos and feedback from the Jersey Dolls House & Miniatures Club, as apparently the event was a wonderful success with over £700 raised for two charities - Autism Jersey and SCBU (a charity for premature babies). Seeing as the club is made up of just 15 members, that is quite an achievement!

Club member Barbara Kendall-Davies tells me that her interview on BBC Radio Jersey and subsequent daily mentions of the event on the radio, plus additional publicity in the local Jersey media, helped to bring a steady stream of visitors all day. As well as a display of club member's creations and own dolls houses, shops, etc., there were various fund raising attractions including a tombola and raffle. The first prize in the raffle of a lovely fully equipped miniature kitchen room box made by club secretary Susan Deans, was won by a young woman who has just caught the dolls house bug... (ha ha - fellow miniaturists out there will recognise that "dolls house bug" I'm sure)!
Barbara goes on to say that the theme of this year's exhibition was Inside/Out and members produced some very novel models. Below you can see some of them.

| One of the most popular models made under the Inside/Out theme, was Pauline Falla's Organics, showing a shop and produce on the pavement outside. |

| Beverly Lelai charmed everyone with her Japanese Zen Garden And Tea House. It was truly authentic even though she has never been to Japan. |
 |
| Gwyneth Morgan's Fairy House And Garden was a great favourite with the children. |
These three other photos were sent to me also, and although I do not have any additional information on them specifically, I think the photos speak for themselves:)
Aren't they fabulous!
Congratulations to the Jersey Dolls House & Miniatures Club for raising money for charity in such a wonderful way, and thank you for sharing photos of your lovely creations with us.
