Well everything is priced and packed, and ready for KT Miniatures' stand that will be at this Saturday's Vintage & Artisan Dolls House Fair. The event is taking place at Thame Barns Centre (Church Road, Thame, Oxfordshire OX9 3AJ) which is right next to the ancient church and opposite the old tithe barn. It has taken me literally months and months to organise, there are still a few more last minute chores that need to be done....then that will be it. It should be quite a gathering and a rather unique event, bringing together high quality miniaturist artisans as well as antique/vintage dolls house sellers.
Here is a peek at just a weeny portion of antique and miniature items that will be on my KT Miniatures stand on Saturday. Everything is being sold on a first come, first serve basis and cannot be reserved before the event....sorry. What is not sold, will appear on my website over the following days after the event.
c1920s Elgin furniture, early 1900s Schneegas towel rail, antique metal fireplace....
One or two of the above antique pieces date as far back as late Victorian and early 1900s, plus the 1930s Pit-a-Pat beds have some authentic looking vintage style mattresses.
In contrast there will be some 1960s retro furniture of various makes.
Large scale vintage cookers, as well as small scale will be on offer.
These handmade items out of broken vintage bits and pieces, appeared on an earlier KT Miniatures post.
A bit of fun inspired by an old Honor Appleton illustration.
Various vintage Grecon dolls & Britains lead garden bits and bobs.
All kinds of early 1900s glassware, German striped coloured glass, early 1900s Gerlach metal items...and lots more!!! Including of course the good old KT Miniatures "rummaging crate" with vintage bargains galore, plus a couple of small vintage dolls houses, one being a Tri-ang.
And lets not forget that there are 20 other stands too of some truly amazing miniature creations and antique/vintage treasures. Please note that sadly Liza Antrim has had to withdraw due to health problems, but CJ Miniatures have kindly stepped in at the last minute to take up the vacant spot.
Just by coming on Saturday, you will be helping to support CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) as half of everyone's admission fee will be donated to this brilliant charity.
So why not come and join us all on Saturday and have a fabulous day out!!!
Full details can be found on the fair promotional page:
My old mate Robin Britton (now long retired from Coombe Crafts) will be helping me out on my stand throughout the day, so if you do come along, please stop by our stand for a good old natter, it would be great to see you. We will be in the Large Barn but make sure you visit the Small Barn too down the wonderful beamed corridor where there are more stands plus the refreshment area. And if you wanted to take a breather while you are here with us, have a cup of tea and taste some of the goodies that will be on offer in the "Time For Tea" pop up vintage tea rooms.
It is going to be fun, see you there!

What a lovely assortment of vintage and antique miniatures, and I wish both you and Robin great success at your show!
I would also like to say how charmed I am by the photo of the toy elephant on the book track- the entire scene is exactly what a child on day spent indoors, would think to do!!! :D
Aw - thanks Elizabeth. The event is now over and was a brilliant success. I will be putting up a post about the day on here very soon. Robin and I had a great time:) Celia
