Playing havoc...

It seems that old toys are popular at our vintage markets
but they are also becoming harder to find
so I've been doing a bit of 'restoration'.


It looked like a mini pink boudoir at first
but the sanding revealed...


'Tri-ang Stores'
so it has become a labour of love.


I'm a bit low on stock at the moment...
just herb pots wrapped in can labels so far but I have a mini shopping list.

I was looking for a till or perhaps some scales but
I found some cute pots and pans that I couldn't resist.


A little shelf solved my cooking problem,
with coasters for hot plates, a few knobs, hooks and a clock cut from a book.


I'm cooking on gas!
(electricity, actually)

I have no oven (yet) but with a suitcase full of mini baking gear
it's only a matter of time... 


When did cooking become this much fun?


Fancy a chip?


We are planning to downsize next year...
this could be the answer.


I like my mini world.

Crafty ways makes shopping fun.

  1. Sooo cute E.E. I love miniatures of everything. This takes me right back to my younger days (quite a few years ago now I might add!!!). I have your tiny whisk & a couple of other bits you have there. You have done a great job on the revamping of the shelf ... it looks fantastic. Vintage toys are becoming very hard to find over here now too.
